Excellence in Preaching Initiative

鈥溾��When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.听For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.听I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling.听My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit鈥檚 power,听so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God鈥檚 power.鈥�
1 Corinthians 2:1b-5

What is the Excellence in Preaching Initiative?

萝莉福利视频 has partnered with the Lily Foundation to launch the Excellence in Preaching Initiative. This initiative will:

• Support local pastors in Hispanic, Latino and African-American churches.
• Provide resources to create more effective ministry leaders.
• Impact the spiritual health of Latino and African-American congregation.听听
• Encourage formal theological education among Latino Pastors.听

Why Preaching?

• The Bible charges pastors to zealously preach the Gospel.
• The Holy Spirit uses pastors to declare God鈥檚 word to His people.
• Preaching equips, challenges, nurtures and empowers individuals to obey God鈥檚 will and carry out the mission of the Church in the world.

Our Strategy

Preaching and the competing priorities of pastoring in a local church often make preparing weekly sermons challenging. The Excellence in Preaching Initiative allows you to join a group of pastors with the same mission of excellent preaching.

Here鈥檚 how it works:

• ALC offers Preaching Workshops by experts in Preaching and Communication.
• ALC provides a series of bilingual audio / visual resources.
  • These resources feature African-American, Hispanic and Latino preachers known for their effective communication skills.
  • These resources provide opportunities for discussion and skill development.
• Pastors participate in preaching coaching programs, and preaching retreats titled Preaching Boot Camps to sharpen existing and acquire new skills.

驴Qu茅 es la Iniciativa de Excelencia en la Predicaci贸n?听
