& Passion!<br />

Republished from the White Wing Messenger<br />

“In the past, we heard some say if you<br />

want to hide knowledge from certain<br />

Christians, write it in a book. They won’t<br />

read it.” This quote was proven obsolete<br />

by Dr Sonia Martin, as 70 plus students in<br />

Trinidad and Tobago, experienced<br />

her engaging teaching style during<br />

the 3-day training of the Centre for<br />

Biblical Leadership’s module ‘Become<br />

a Church with Impact’<br />

The module explained the importance<br />

of a biblically defined vision<br />

and introduced leaders to the ten<br />

characteristics of a healthy church<br />

which can be influential in generally<br />

making a difference.<br />

The interactive gathering, included breakout<br />

sessions, where groups were randomly<br />

formed to discuss pertinent topics, with<br />

one of the more significant ones being<br />

The introduction to Take your Church’s<br />

Pulse Tool (TYCP). This is a tool that that<br />

can help diagnose an assembly’s health<br />

by evaluating key areas of church life.<br />

Held at the Christian Fellowship Ministries<br />

– Church of God of Prophecy, Palmiste,<br />

Trinidad, from September 20 – 22,<br />

<strong>2018</strong>, the event was executed under the<br />

auspices of National Overseer, Bishop Dr<br />

the Leadership Development & Discipleship<br />

Committee, under the<br />

leading of Bp Dr. Anslim<br />

Serrette along with a support<br />

team.<br />

Dr Sonia was ably supported<br />

by her husband, Bishop<br />
