In the coming days you will be responsible to apply the insights you have learned from this course of study in a practicum that you and your mentor agree to. The ramifications of effective urban church planting for your life and ministry in the city are numerous and rich: think of all the ways that this teaching can influence your devotional life, your prayers, your response to your church, your attitude at work, and on and on and on. Your ability to articulate your learning to others in a way that is clear, concise, and compelling is a large part of representing our Lord in ministry. What is significant is that you seek to correlate this teaching with your life, work, and ministry. The ministry project is designed for this, and in the next days you will have the opportunity to share these insights in real-life, actual ministry environments. Make certain that you prepare carefully for your ministry project, and ask for the Holy Spirit’s leading and direction as you address your insights before your chosen audience and venue. God can use your learning to encourage and challenge others to follow Christ more intimately and intensely!
