For one thing the goal is not to train pastors and teach them how to preach. It is designed to be reproduced and used to teach other women whether in our neighborhoods, our family, our children or even in other countries.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;469777462&quot;:[1670],&quot;469777927&quot;:[0],&quot;469777928&quot;:[1]}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I have been personally excited to have this training in our church so that we can provide a tool to not only help other women near us but also globally.\u00a0 For example, there is a lady in our church from the country of Columbia. I was thrilled to connect her with Laura, the Director, who used to serve as a missionary in Columbia. After attending the training this weekend, they have made an exciting connection and have a heart to go to Columbia together and bring the Bible training to women there.
