I am very excited about Lanka College or Ministry offering the Ministry Partners track. Being a totally online education program, It serves our needs extremely well. Many good lay programs have not fulfilled their potential due to the time commitment that people In the market place have to make in order to follow these courses. The Ministry Partners track overcomes all this and also gives us a lay education program for our churches, which Is effective and convenient.

I would encourage all our lay people to grasp this opportunity to be equipped to fulfill God’s purpose.

On-line learning is not a substitue to face-to-face teaching. But it can be a valuable addition to it. It give’s today’s busy Christian leader the opportunity to study the things fo God and his service at the times and places that are possible for them. I commend this bold attempt, and pray that it would give an opportunity to many to get the training they could not otherwise have got.
