Here at the Good Book company, we're committed to producing resources that help people grow: grow in the knowledge of God, grow in the love of God, grow in the service of God. And in addition to our books, we have a passion for producing courses that equip God's people for works of service. Currently our range of short courses in practical ministry - run by our distance-learning college, the Open Bible Institute - includes courses on youth and children's work, administration, pastoral care, preaching, Christian mission & ministry and more. And we're busy planning how to expand this range with short courses on other topics.
So... we'd like your opinions please! If you were to set aside 6 or 10 evenings to look at one particular area of service, what would you choose to look at? Would you like to dig deep into youth evangelism, leading Bible clubs or CUs in schools, reaching out to the elderly or leading services? Maybe you'd find it useful to think in more depth about supporting those who are bereaved or working with internationals?
Please let us know what you would find helpful to your life and ministry. And we'll feed all your ideas into our thinking about planning process ... Thank you!
