A School From Which You
Never Graduate
One of the world's fastest
growing ministerial societies
? never "graduates" its ministers.
"Christian development nevier
L ends and the Christian minister
can always advance in minister
. ial qualifications." These are
Jehovah's Witnesses.
For that reason the organiz
. ' a lion provides a : continuous
training program of activity for
young and old. A featured part
, of that program is to be a three
day conference of Jehovah's
Witnesses scheduled for July 16
.15 at the Coliseum. Their
spokesman is Mr. Garland Mc
Iver,. 2112 Belcrest Drive, a min
ister. of Jehovah's Witnesses
and the ministry school director
ior the Central Unit Congrega
tion, 442 East Washington St.
:J . "Since their beginning Jeho
vah's Witnesses have been a
,'i preaching fellowship," Mclver
said. "The faith of each believ
ing Christian in the organization
is tested by his participation in
the most important Christian
activity-propagation of the faith.
, .v. "By plying this method," Mc
Iver continued, "during the past
ten years the Witnesses have
V' doubled their numbers in North
\i. ? ,;v! America, multiplied five times
in Asia, more than six times in
. : the Pacific Islands, seven times
in Europe and Africa, and more
than twelve times in the Atlantic
Islands and nearly fifteen times
? 'in South America.
"As a stimulation to the
preaching methods of the Wit
nesses the Greensboro program
carries the theme "Courageous
Ministers." This will provide the
background for the advanced
ii;, course planned," Mclver said.
? "The program is really an ex
tension of and a refresher for
the regular training program
conducted in all congregations
'of Jehovah's Witness," Mclver
? explained. "One of the require
ments for every Christian that
?Is set forth in the Bible is that
he be 'apt to teach,' " he said.
!? . r'". "That means he must not only
be well grounded in the Bible
but he must be acquainted with
. the techniques of preaching.
Jesus took the apostles with
him on his tour of Galilee,
where they could observe his
teaching. Then he sent them out
by twos and. later, after training
others, sent out seventy others
by twos.
"
"Jesus told his disciples,
'Freely you have received, give
freely.'an d Jehovah's Witnesses
believe that this applies to their
Christian knowledge as much as
to anything else. Jesus made the
statement when he was send
ing his followers out to preach."
According to Mclver, Jeho
vah's Witnesses conduct a re
gular schedule of five weekly
classes in all their congrega
tions. Their object is to develope
each believer into a preacher.
Two classes are conducted as ad
vanced studies of the Bible, an
other is to improve speech and
speaking ability with practice
sermons given by the students
enrolled. Another is a ministry
development class, where prob
lesrs of the ministry are dis
cussed. The fifth meeting is a
public sermon on a timely Bible
subject.
"After a new student expres
ses his willingness and dedicates
himself to do God's will as
Jesus did," Mclver said "he is
assisted in practical field minis
try by being assigned to a ma
ture minister who assists him
in develpoing his preaching abi
lity."
"After features of the regular
training program will be covered
at the Greensboro convention,"
Mclver said. "However, these
meetings at the coliseum will be
under the direction of Mr. Saka
.os, a special representative of
he Watch tower Bible and Tract
Society sent out from New
York."
The Greensboro program sche
duled for July 13-15 will draw
more than 6,000 people from a
20 state area, according to Mc
lver. In addition, a number of
car groups of interested per
sons are planning to attend the
sessions, all of which are open
to the public. The meetings are
free and no collections will be
taken at any time.
