Church leaders get opportunity to earn degrees

Leaders of church ministries in Dominica and the Caribbean may be able to earn a degree by following a program being offered in Dominica.

The St. Claire College of Ministries of the United States has begun plans to establish a college in Dominica.

Dr. St. Claire Michel, a founding member of the Dominica headquarters who is also Dominican, said “we believe leadership is the key to the next century and that as goes the leader, so goes the institution”.

He said leadership is critical and his organization has a strong belief in training leaders in the church.

Orientation was held on Monday and classes will be offered through the internet. Those who are not internet savvy will be given computer classes.

He said intensive Saturday seminars and independent studies will also be available

Dr. Michel said “there will be no reason why anyone who wants a degree in studies can’t get it.”

Meantime head of the Peoples Pentecostal Assemblies in Dominica Bishop Bill Daniel says local pastors here will be taken to a higher level.

He said the opportunity is not restricted to only evangelical pastors.

    God’s people should represent him in the best way possible. Those classes are just going to help us to become better representative for the kingdom of God. We educate ourselves in everything else but the word of God. Think on that. It’s sad, but I see my country remain the same until we get rid of petty jealousy and embrace the good that comes our Way. Why do you send your kids to get a higher education? And even abroad? Be wise and free yourselves from the spirits of jealousy pride, hatred, gossip, and malice. One will never move forward with these. And by the way, people will always Leave the country because the critics are crippling their vision. Learn!

    Dominicans will never have anythin good to say when any activity is done to represent GOD JEHOVAH. BEANIE MAN, BOUNTY KILLER, ALL THOSE PHONY WHO COME FOR WORLD CREOLE MUSIC FESTIVALCONTINUOSLY RIP OFF DOMINICANS AND LIVING IN LUXURY FROM OUR MONIES. I rather use my MONEY,my hard earned MONEYto BLESS the man of GOD rather than to spend it in fete supporting people who do ive a shit about Dominicans.

    Is that the same pastor the Jerry Curled one that came to Portsmouth preaching about what he own and earn in Maryland. It’s time for these leaches to start paying taxes and it’s time for governments to start looking more closely at these wolves in sheep clothing.

    Another money making scheme in the name of God. There are just too many dishonest people in this religion business. When politicians thieving and lying the so called religious leaders are in cohorts with those politicians; some of the religious leaders who make special arrangement to help politicians hide ill-gotten gains must not be trusted.

    I am appealing to those pastors who know themselves, come out and clear your consciences; ask for public forgiveness after the secrete rendezvous where so called men of god declared that the ill gotten gain is god’s gift to immoral and dirty politicians. I sure hope that if those so called men of god read my blog that this messianic message will touch their sinful , greed driven souls and if you are wondering how I know – this is the Prophet Isaiah.

    2 Timothy 2:4-6
    King James Version (KJV)

    4.”No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

    5.And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.”

    TAKE HEED BE WARNED! THE TRUE SERVANTS OF GOD CALLED BY GOD WILL NOT PARTAKE OF SUCH FRUITLESS VANITY AMBITIONS OF THIS WORLD! WAS THE APOSLE PAUL SEEKING DEGREE OF MEN? AWAY WITH UR FOOLISH DEGREE THAT SEEK ONLY TO RIP THE SERVANTS OF GOD AND DISTRACT THEM WITH LUSTFUL DESIRE FOR SELFESTEEM WHICH BRINGS DESTRUCTION! LET THE SERVANTS OF GOD ALONE THAT THEY MAY DO THE WILL OF THEIR HEAVENLY FATHER! GOD THE FATHER IS NOT SEEKING MEN OF HIGH DEGREE NOR HIS SERVANTS TO GO FOR SELFESTEEM! ISN’T THE HOLYSPIRIT THE GREATEST TEACHER OF ALL! HE REVEALS THE MYSTERY OF HIS KINGDOM NOT BY FOOLISH DEGREE! RELIGION, IS THAT WHICH IS FOUNDED BY FOOLISH DOCTRINE OF MEN IN THE NAME OF X BIBLE COLLEGES. BUT FOUNDED BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST THRU MEN OF GOD WHO SPEND TIME ON THEIR KNEES BEFORE THE ONE TRUE AND LIVING GOD IS SOUND BASED DOCTRINE OF JESUS CHRIST! IT’S NOT THEORY THAT COUNTS BUT KNEEOLOGY!

        God don’t seek to use Book smart people to do his job, most book smart people like to challenge God’s word! Who was Jesus’s friends while he was here on earth? illiterate, and poor people…
