Spread the Word! Pastors of all denominations will want to watch the Ministry Professional Growth Seminar—coming in April on The Hope Channel!

Silver Spring, MD, USA… The Ministry Professional Growth Seminar will be broadcast on Hope Channel on Wednesday, April 18, 2007, from 1- 4:30 p.m. The Ministry Professional Growth Seminars [PGS] are an initiative of the Ministerial Association of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, offering clergy of all denominations the opportunity of professional growth, professional dialogues, practical sharing and fellowship.
“The Ministry PGS program continues to be a wonderful opportunity to connect pastors, chaplains and clergy with some of the world’s greatest preaching communicators,” says Anthony Kent, associate secretary and coordinator of the PREACH program. “Since 1998, PGS has made a significant impact globally and we’ve had a pleasing number of positive responses from clergy receiving the broadcasts in rather remote and far flung places. It’s very pleasing to be able to offer this resource from Cambridge in England to clergy all over the world.”
Barry Black (62nd chaplain of the US Senate), Randy Roberts (senior pastor of the Loma Linda University church in California), Gordon Moyes (author of 56 books and senior pastor of a congregation with 4,200 paid staff) and Robert Smith Jr. (professor of Christian preaching at Beeson Divinity School in Birmingham, Alabama) are the four featured speakers scheduled this year.
According to Kent, the 2007 Ministry PGS is expecting thousands to participate in this much anticipated program.
