June 2013 Council Agenda - International Pentecostal Holiness ...

Bible School Task Force
REPORT TO THE WORLD MISSIONS COUNCIL
June 18, 2013 ~ Oklahoma City, OK
Roger Gorman, Garnet Pike, and Harold Dalton
Over the course of the past three years Roger Gorman and Garnet Pike have been involved in a review
of the bible schools sponsored by World Missions Ministries. They have visited a number of the
locations and completed on site review and recommendations.
There is much to be commended. Most of the schools are under National leadership, including
administration and teachers, and are mostly self- funded. (See attached list indicating those where a
missionary is present.)
Leadership development is certainly a major area of concern for WMM. We need to increase our
involvement in leadership training, both in terms of missionary involvement and funding.
We are in an era of the proliferation of training models. The good news is that WMM is involved at
many levels. However, we can never be satisfied with the status quo but must continually innovate and
improve. (See attached page listing models we are using.)
The web based Global Church Learning Center is a new development that will make a significant
contribution. All missionaries are already enrolled as members including many national leaders.
Hopefully several of you at this meeting have already visited this website.
Our highest priority must be the training of ministers. This is reflected in our interest in the list of
requirements for credentials. (See attached page listing course requirements set forth by the general
church.)
We have included several recommendations.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve in this capacity.
