Teaching in Generate School of Ministry

The director of Generate School of Ministry, Pastor Priscilla Boore, asked if I would teach "Berean" college-level Bible classes to their interns during the first semester in the Fall of 2008.  I wholeheartedly agreed, as I do see this as a "calling," and thus I am passionate about it. I rearranged my priorities to dedicate myself to the task of studying and teaching for eight consecutive weeks.

On August 5, 2008, Marsha and I had the privilege of fellowshipping with Pastors John and Priscilla Boore at the Olive Garden. Pastor John primarily leads the Youth group at VLC and Priscilla primarily leads the the School of Ministry for interns desiring to be Youth Pastors, though both help each other.

Thus, for the first semester of the Fall of 2008, I taught the Berean class on the Hermeneutics, also known as Biblical Interpretation. I very much enjoyed the first class of four interns. I was then asked if I would teach another class for the second eight-week semester in the Fall of 2008. Thus, I taught Introduction to Theology: A Pentecostal Perspective to three other interns, thereby teaching classes to all their currently active students. For the Spring semester of 2009, I had the privilege of teaching all six interns Introduction to Assemblies of God Missions, supplementing each class with insightful sharing by a guest missionary (present or past). Immediately after returning from my missionary endeavors in Congo, Africa, in the Fall of 2009, I taught Introduction to Theology: A Pentecostal Perspective to five interns, some (if not all) of whom expressed that they thoroughly enjoyed this class.

Pastor Priscilla & Doug	On February 27, 2009, Marsha and I had another nice meal and fellowship with Pastors Priscilla and John Boore. As the Director of the Generate School of Ministry, Pastor Priscilla had asked if I would teach a Missions class for all of their students next semester. I agreed. After lunch, I presented a check to Priscilla  from Verizon for $750, as a result of volunteering 50 hours in the Generate School last year. She was extremely appreciative and excited.
