Following right on the heals of Pathways for Women last weekend, I (Eric) offered Pathways Workshop #2 for ministry leaders from the Pacific Northwest, and some from other parts of the country. We had a great time diving into 2 Timothy, refreshing principles from workshop #1 and giving the group a few new steps and tools in the process toward healthy Bible study and preaching.

The group was a mixture of pastors, missionaries, and lay leaders, about 1/3 of each in the group. This helped to offer some excellent and diverse discussion as we explored topics like:

• Asking good questions
• Exploring epistles with the “river of ideas” using linking words
• Staying on the line of Scripture
• How to form a “message statement” for the original readers

Once again, Littlerock Community Fellowship hosted our gathering which went all day Friday and half of Saturday, and they graciously provided excellent food throughout.

I am hoping some of the pastors who were present will join us in taking Pathways globally to ministry leaders who are desperately in need of equipping in how to study, understand, and teach God’s Word. Please pray with us to this end!
