The past 2 weeks I've had several groups of Level Two exams to correct. This is a lot of work for them - - - and for me, the one who gets to grade them!


One of the groups just finished their LAST semester of study! They've finished the course and later this fall we will celebrate their graduation with them. As I read the leader's evaluation of these students - all whom I have known for years now and watched them grow and mature - I was just so proud of them and happy for them! Here is some of what the leader said about the graduates:

> The student this semester has gone through difficulties, crises, “a desert.” But he has remained faithful to all those things he was when he was without a crisis with regard to his life and ministry. Now the student has come to a new stage in his life and calling in the Lord.

> The student is able to discipline his time well and takes on himself ministry tasks that need to be done. He is an example in prayer. The goals we made for him at the beginning of the semester were realized.

> This sister is a leader who is ready to serve! She loves both God and people. She takes initiative. She is no longer fearful. She is humble and a great leader!

> Faithfulness in all things describes this student. She has grown in her gift in the prophetic and in speaking into the lives of people. She is obedient and submissive and a good leader.

Going and making disciples... A command. A commitment. A privilege.
