ICHTHUS - AUTUMN 2017
GRANTS CASE STUDY - PHILIP CAIRNS
Philip Cairns received a grant from LWPT last
year to assist him in his studies in Theology and
Pastoral studies at Oak Hill College in London.
“My first year at college has been a wonderful
privilege and stretching challenge. It has been
wonderful to sit under the tutelage and lectures
of godly men and women who are committed
to the gospel and our growth, and yet who are
academically rigorous and stimulating.
One particular highlight has been the Homiletics class, which is concerned
to apply what we learn in other classes to our preaching ministries – be
that sermons or youth bible studies - as it is so important that we learn
to communicate what we learn at college to those we are called to serve. I
have also thrown myself head first into the ancient languages - doing both
Hebrew and Greek. This has proven to be a challenge, but it is a challenge I
am relishing - and one from which I am already seeing fruit as I handle God’s
word as originally given. Each class is stretching and rigorous, but we are not
given the opportunity to forget why we are here – to apply what we learn to
our future ministries as we’re equipped to preach the Gospel.
Without the support of this trust and others, I wouldn’t be able to receive such
great training that will equip me for a lifetime of preaching and ministry.
So thank you! I am very much looking forward to another 2 years of being
trained for gospel ministry!”
