On Wednesday and Thursday, December 24 and 25, Mr. Dave Baker held the Philippine Leadership Conference at the Waterfront Hotel in Davao City, Mindanao. A total of 61 pastors, elders, deacons/deaconesses, and other congregational leaders are meeting for 2 days to receive instruction on congregational leadership, teaching, and congregational development. Many of these men are from some very rural areas, yet are committed to assist the pastors and elders to serve the brethren in these more remote locations.
The classes being taught are many of those topics that were presented at the U.S. Regional Ministerial conferences in 2007 and 2008. In preparation for these meetings, the very presentations that would be used in the Philippines were videoed at the last Regional Conference in Ohio in early December. While I will present three topics at the conference—(Pride and Humility in your Ministry, Speaking at the Feast of Tabernacles, and Leadership and Mentoring programs)—all of the other presentations will be presented from the DVD’s made of the taped presentations. Mr. Baker has made the introductory comments at the beginning of the conference, and this first day of classes went extremely well. The elders and congregational leaders are very engaged in the presentations and have expressed great appreciation for the many additional topics covered (Principles of I and II Timothy, Doctrine in Leadership, Teaching as You have been taught, Submission and Authority in the Government of God, Examining Yourself and Taking Correction, Creating the Right Environment for Growth, Integrity and the Code of Ethics, Preaching the Gospel/Preparing a People). The conference will end at 6pm on Thursday, December 25th. ~Doug Horchak
