Endorsements
“The Pacific Institute of Christian Ministry serves as an intentional training resource for those spiritually gifted and interested in lay pastoring. Spiritual leaders serve under pressure in the 21st century and PICM equips you for faithful service.”
“I highly recommend PICM to everyone who wants to be well-equipped to share the Good News to this dying world. This kind of training remains to be a priority of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.”
“What a joy and opportunity to be able to participate in this Pacific Institute of Christian Ministry! Being trained to proclaim the gospel has always been an initiative of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This institute of our Asian/Pacific Ministries has proven to be a real blessing in the growth of our Asian/Pacific work.”
“I am always happy to see opportunities for church members to receive specific and intentional preparation for ministry. PICM provides quality, practical training for Christian leadership, and I see the positive results in many of our churches. It’s a pleasure to recommend this program, especially since it began in our territory. I pray that it will be a blessing to you.”
“PICM is a very effective initiative in fulfilling the great commission of our Lord to make disciples of all people. A fundamental assumption of the disciple making process is that everyone is a minister and PICM is a model of that paradigm.”
