Pastors in Sheep’s Clothing PDF Print E-mail

For many months now, students of the Pastoral Ministries Program (PMP) of CBS-Asia have met for a week every month not to teach but to be students.

The PMP aims to provide theological and ministry leadership education and training to pastors and Christian lay leaders who are either pastoring or preparing for the pastorate.  That is why this is the place where the shepherds get to wear sheep’s clothing.

 

Last July their shepherd was Rev. Don Furrow.  The class went through the course “Pastoral Epistles”.  Now Don Furrow is an excellent and experience shepherd.  He was adjunct professor at Master’s and Talbot Seminaries. The focus of his studies were drawing out a biblical theology and philosophy of ministry from the three pastoral epistles.

His more than 25 years of pastoral experience is a great plus! He taught from the Bible as well as from his vast experience as pastor of a number of local churches in the States. A majority of the students live outside of Metro Manila, the farthest is Nueva Vizcaya.  With the opening up of this PMP, they have invested their efforts and time to attend these classes.  CBS-Asia is committed in providing them this theological and ministerial education.  One pastor comments, “This program is really humbling.  Most of the time you’re in shepherd’s clothes.  You miss those times when you are just a student and learn.  It’s really nice to be in sheep’s clothing:  very humbling, but enriching experience.”
