James Wilshaw ’ s new take on teaching
My grant was used to support my course fees for the Ministry Training Course run by the South Central Gospel Partnership Trust . September 2019 - July 2021 .
In combination with my time working voluntarily as a Ministry Trainee at Christ Church Southampton this course gave me a wonderful grounding in Scripture and ministry practice . I also had the opportunity to practise writing and giving gospel talks .
With lockdown striking 3 months into my time as a Ministry Trainee , most of my waking hours went into online video production to aid the meeting and teaching of the church through lockdowns and in person as we slowly opened back in person as rules allowed . But as an MT I was co-leading small group Bible studies in our international ministry and co-leading our Free English Classes outreach .
Since being an MT , and having moved away from Southampton , I ’ ve continued to be actively involved in ministry . From serving in the Kids team at Keswick ministries to serving my new church family in various ways including giving
the odd gospel talk and leading the odd Bible study . The ministry training course has been a great blessing , equipping me with and helping me to develop many of the skills I use to read and understand the Bible as well as teaching it to others .
Rachael Shalloe-Cooper - Raising Funds and Raising Hopes
I am a church leader for a small church plant in a town that is severely deprived . The town is 84th out of 318 of the most deprived towns in the nation , of the people that live here rates for suicide for those aged 10 + are above the regional and national average , all of which is linked to drug and alcohol abuse , poor mental health , and poverty .
To develop further I felt God ’ s calling to apply myself to church leadership and study theology . I started to study with WTC Theology in September 2021 , and at the time of enrolment , I was able to obtain Student Finance . Part way through this option was removed and I had to look at alternative funding .
With the needs that our ministries want to meet , it meant that there were no available funds for me from Church and began looking for grants . I ’ m thankful to LWPT for providing a percentage of this funding to enable me to continue .
