Another excuse for not entering the mission field goes like this; “But I am not theologically trained.”
Although every missionary needs to be a student of his English bible and know the basics of Christian theology, he does not necessarily need a theological degree to be an effective missionary. He does need to be an ardent student of the word of God.
Remember it was Paul who said to young Timothy, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (II Timothy 2:15).

What they need is that information to be organized and supplemented and this can be done through individual self study or some type of correspondence course. But the lack of a theological degree should never be an excuse to not go to the mission field.

Lately I read about the Philistines capturing the ark &… Read More....
I had a good last-time with Class A on Thursday. We played Jeopardy with a review of things we had studied. They make everything fun and hilarious!!! It’s hard to explain it – just little actions like J & M slapping the desk (part of the game) to answer at the exact same time. I can’t even remember the super-funny thing we were laughing about. It was so cute! So… Read More....
