110 Ministers and Wives at Final U.S. Regional Ministerial Conference
Charlotte, North Carolina, was the host city for the fourth and final Regional Ministerial Conference held in the U.S. in 2022. The conference began on Sunday, August 28, and concluded on Tuesday, August 30. The 110 ministers and wives who attended came from the Eastern portion of the country. Mr. Gerald Weston and Dr. Douglas Winnail conducted the meetings, focusing on the purpose and mission of the Church, making disciples of all nations, developing leaders, and building a culture of counseling. Mr. Ames gave an update on the Work and covered other topics, and Mr. Rod McNair also gave helpful lectures. Regional Pastors Dan Hall and Lambert Greer spoke on the role of a minister’s wife and the importance of the body of Christ. Many expressed appreciation for the valuable training sessions as well as the opportunity to be together and grow as brothers and sisters—evidenced by the smiles, laughter, and warm embraces between friends old and new.
I wonder how many lectures they had on Jesus Christ and what his life, death, and resurrection meant. How many lectures did they receive on grace? How about going into great detail with the Book of Galatians? Most likely all they had were lectures on some magical kingdom soon to come where everyone would be keeping all of the law while Jesus twiddles his thumbs somewhere in Jerusalem.
Let's get back to that "counseling" bit. How many LCG ministers have legitimate training in counseling? Not the crap that the church has traditionally done, but REAL counseling. Look at the fields that are littered with the bodies of church members who have been subjected to that counseling. Look at what counseling did for Terry Ratzman.
How many LCG members actually counsel with ministry any more? Can you trust them?
