Crosslinks School of Biblical Training in Serbia

At the end of May a team of clergy will be travelling to Serbia to take part in a Crosslinks School of Biblical Training (SBT). 

The team members are Revds Peter Bourke and David Luckman from Down and Dromore, Canon Ian Berry from Clogher diocese and Revd Sean Martin from Leadership Resources (USA). 

SBTs are short conferences that help equip church leaders to teach God’s Word clearly and faithfully. SBT trainers, who are experienced in expository ministry, cover the basic principles of Bible teaching. The schools are repeated regularly so that trainers can build relationships with participants and develop knowledge of their culture. The SBT in Serbia was developed through Crosslinks Mission Partners Chris and Lotta Strajnic and it takes place at the HUB Bible School outside Belgrade.

Once again the SBT will provide two training streams: Levels 1 and 2 look at Mark’s Gospel and Philippians respectively. Level 1 deals with the basics of how to go from a passage in the Bible to a sermon while Level 2 teaches how to preach the Epistles and Philippians.

This year a third level is offered to students who have already completed Levels 1 and 2 in previous years. Level 3 will study Exodus and help students have confidence to preach the Old Testament. All the talks are delivered through a translator.

Crosslinks is thankful that this is the sixth Serbian SBT and that this valuable training has been made available to nearly 200 church leaders.  Please pray for the teams, their families and the participants of this year’s conference.
