Training Young Preachers in Digos City church of Christ, Roxas Ext., Zone III, Digos City, Davao del Sur

 February 06, 2016


(11) "These things command and teach. (12) Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity." 1 Timothy 4:11-12

We are grateful to see young men willing to preach the truth. As we all know, that they will be the next generation to continue spread the Gospel of Christ that saves souls. We need them and so, we should teach the pure word of God that edify and rooted their faith.

I (Joshua A. Notarte) and brother Jonathan Notarte trained these four (4) young preachers who starting to help in preaching. One of them is our youngest brother in flesh, Cebe Arjay A. Notarte (14 years old) who helped in preaching every Sunday evening worship in Digos City church of Christ, Roxas Ext., Zone III, Digos City, Davao del Sur. 

The other 3 young preachers came from Datal Nebong church of Christ, Datal Nebong, Tagaytay, Magsaysay, Davao del Sur. It is a very mountainous place and many rebels like New People's Army lived there. From time to time, military operations happened in their area. The brethren were very much affected and were afraid. But on the other hand, they continue to serve God and remain faithful in the Church of Christ. And these young men came here in Digos City church of Christ to study the bible for a preacher training where they brought their own bibles.

First, I preached the word of God about the preacher's life. I focused on the life of Jesus and his teaching where he is our master teacher. He effective preached because he knows the scriptures very well. A good preparation leads to a better preaching.

We also requested them to preach in front of us and there we found the things that needs to be improved. We were also thankful because they are willing to be corrected. They also have many questions asked regarding the Lord's Supper and Giving. We do what we can to help them. Please pray for them.
