Armor Bearer Workshop, June 25 and 26

Some of my most popular posts on this blog are concerning the armor bearers ministry.  Those post receive lots of traffic and follow-up questions that are sent directly to me.  I am excited to share information on armor bearer training that will be held June 25 and 26, 2010.

This training is sponsored by Keepers of the Temple Ministries.  The host is Pastor Delton Ellis and the training will be held in Nassau, Bahamas.  I am aware that in this economy it may be a stretch to travel to the Bahamas for an Armorbearer Retreat, however, if you can fit it into your budget, I guarantee you that it will be worth the sacrifice.

Pastor Delton Ellis is one of my friends in ministry.  I am very familiar with his church (Mount Tabor) and his pastor (Bishop Neil Ellis). I have visited his church many times and have been influenced by his ministry and very impressed with the armor bearers in his church.  If you are serious about your armor bearer ministry, this training is worth the expense.

For more information, check his web site, space is limited.

April 22 is Earth Day

Genesis 1: 26 – Then God said, “Let us make man in our image . . . and let them rule over . . . all the earth . . .

When God have us control over all of the earth, what did he have in mind?  I can’t speak for God but like everyone else, I have an opinion .  Of course God is all knowing, so he knew what would eventually happen to the earth; but that doesn’t mean it’s what He wanted to happen.

On Earth Day 1988, my youngest daughter’s school had Earth Day programs for the students.  That was when our awareness of recycling and saving energy began because our daughter, Anita, hounded us mercilessly to recycle paper, cans and plastic.  At that time it was about reducing the waste in landfills.

Will You Commit to Change 3 Things?

All of us can do something to help save our environment.  Take a look at the list below and choose three things that you don’t do that you will commit to change in honor of Earth Day.  Not a one day change, but a permanent change.

Recycle

• paper
• plastic
• cans
• cardboard
• glass
• yard waste into compost

Proper Disposal

• batteries
• oil
• styrofoam
• computers
• televisions
• appliances

Buy Recycled Products

• paper
• pencils
• trash bags
• facial tissues
• toilet paper
• paper towels
• napkins
• greeting cards

Reuse

• books (used book stores, swap shops, yard sales)
• reusable shopping bags

Other Ways to Change

• buy recycled products
• use eco-friendly light bulbs
• pay bills online
• online banking
• paperless bills/statements
• use environmentally friendly cleaning products
• plan your trips to cut down on gas use
• consider using public transportation
• take short showers
• use rechargeable batteries

These are just a few ways to help save our environment.  Research or make your own list, but make a commitment to do something – not just for Earth Day but everyday.

Recently I’ve been contacted by several people who have read my posts on armor bearers and would like me to send them additional information.  I’m pleased that the articles have been helpful but unfortunately, the only published information that I have about armor bearers is posted on this web site.

In the past I’ve conducted armor bearer workshops.  If you live in Metro Atlanta I can still work that out.  Unfortunately, if you live outside of the greater Atlanta area, I can no longer travel to do armor bearer training.  If you have read my other blog, A Caregivers Journal, you know that I take care of my 83 year old god-sister who has dementia.  Taking care of her precludes travel outside of greater Atlanta.

For additional information, please see the following posts on this blog:

Another source of information is the book, God’s Armor Bearer Volumes 1 & 2: Serving God’s Leaders ; There is also a link to this book in the sidebar.  If you purchase the book through my link, I make a few pennies commission .

For all of you who feel called to this ministry, please remember that this ministry calls for dedication and commitment.  It can be very time consuming and is not for the feint of heart.  I hope that each of you will pray about your decision to become an armor bearer.
