Spiritual gifts/talents/skills/special interests: Leadership Training, Teaching & Preaching God’s Word, Organizational Development

What I have learned from MMin: To have a balanced view in all theological issues (hold on tightly only to the essentials (to die for) of our faith). To focus on our mission and purpose to reach out the lost and to disciple them to help them develop a genuine loving relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. I appreciate the balance between theology and application. 

What I hope to learn more from MMin: Best practices that can be applied to our local provincial church in terms of the various life stage ministries, and on how we can develop a good system of inter-generational discipleship, considering the context and culture of our province.

What I learned from MMin that I hope to apply in my ministry in 2022: To be authentic, to be one-person in the family, in work and in ministry. To focus on discipling my wife and children, so we can be authentic when we encourage other leaders to not neglect discipling and leading their own families. So we can see not only lives, but families being transformed for the Glory of God.

What improvements MMin should make: It would be a great honor and privilege if maybe PC or Pastor Mike can participate in breakout group discussions. So those who are not able to talk/interact with them in the Main Zoom Room will have the opportunity to chat and learn from them.

When I am 65 years old I hope I have done the following for God: Evangelize my entire family (or most, since most are Buddhist). Run and Start Businesses that are God-honoring in all aspects of the operation, by incorporating discipleship in the various processes of leadership development in each organization. See all my children serving God and leading their respective families to Christ. 

Any other comments: Thank you for the privilege to be part of MMin. This kind of training and learning would not be possible for a businessman with a young family who also oversees a church if not for MMin. The online setup, the relatively lighter load (compared to a traditional Bible School) made this possible.

XIV. What I have learned from MMin: I have learned a TON and to summarize, here are the following:

XV. What I hope to learn more from MMin: I got interested in engaging with contemporary ethical and social issues from a biblical perspective. I hope to learn more on how to address topics such as social justice, human rights, poverty, environmental stewardship, and ethical decision-making. In which we have dealt some of this in the previous classes. 

XVI. What I learned from MMin that I hope to apply in my ministry in 2023: I learned and I hope to develop a deeper relationship with God through cultivating spiritual disciplines. I pray that the lessons we learned will aid me to strengthen my faith as I prepare for the discipleship ministry and my current ministries (which I mentioned above (talent and skills)).

XVII. What improvements MMin should make: This is the most difficult question for this project because your program is excellent, but I think (not sure if we have this and I might be wrong) if it's possible... enhance networking opportunities by facilitating connections among students, alumni, and industry professionals. This can include virtual networking events, alumni mentorship programs, and online communities to foster ongoing support and collaboration.

XVIII. When I am 65 years old I hope I have done the following for God:
1. Established a Trinitarian-Christian school as I observed that schools are a great way to plant the gospel among the hearts of children and later on their parents to know who Jesus Christ is.

2. Have a Trinitarian-Christian orphanage.

3. As an athlete by hobby, even if it's just a hobby I want to be successful in my sports. And in that way maybe I'll have a voice to the younger generations and point all my success to Christ Jesus my Lord.

4. I want to have a business in which through it people will know Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior.

5. I pray to God that by that time my wife (Lord willing He grants me) and I are still serving the Lord. My children to be successful in their respective fields and at the same time faithfully serving the Lord with their own family.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. - 3 John 1:4 

XIX. Any other comments: Thank you for being a blessing, making these lessons free and available to us. All we need to do is show up and study well. To all the staff and management, may God bless you all!
