Lewis McCallum (pictured above right), from Onekawa Bible Church, was offered an internship at his church around a year and a half ago.
Lewis writes, “Until this point, I had already begun serving in the church, primarily within the young adults and evangelistic ministries. But with this formal position, I began receiving more intentional discipleship and material to support my journey into Church ministry”.
Pastor Phil Henderson applied on Lewis’s behalf to Lichfield Lands for a scholarship, which was approved.
Lewis comments, “With this financial gifting, I have worked closely with the eldership, seeking to use the resources wisely and with their guidance I have been blessed through a preaching conference I attended early this year, developing my ability to exposit and deliver the Word of God worthily”.
“Next year in March I will be using some of the funds to travel to California with a group of elders and lay leaders in my church, to attend the Shepherds conference, this would not have been possible without Lichfield Lands and their generosity. Already I feel more equipped to serve the blessed Church of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is my greatest privilege and desire”.
If you’re serving in our churches and would like to talk more about applying for a scholarship, please chat with Liz Hodge.
