‘Purpose Driven Life’ Seminar in Kuwait
The Bible Society in the Gulf - Kuwait office - is preparing training seminars
to lead the church community to a better understanding of the Bible. The first
seminar for the year 2004, and as part of the Year of the Bible activities, was
conducted on Monday and Tuesday, February 9-10, 2004. The theme of the seminar
was “Purpose Driven Life”, and it was led by Yousef Sabri, the Arabic program
coordinator of the Bible Society Center in Kuwait. The seminar was led in Arabic
and was primarily for the Arabic speaking churches.
The training seminar concentrated on five important purposes:
1. Please Him through Worship
2. Belong to His body through the Church
3. Grow like Him through Discipleship
4. Serve Him through Ministry
5. Witness Him through Mission.
All these purposes were associated with the importance and use of the Bible as
an important tool for a purpose driven life. A Bible display was organized during
the two day seminars.
More than 140 people attended the training seminars. Church leaders, including
clergy and lay leaders from the Evangelical churches, Catholic churches, Greek
Orthodox, Armenian Orthodox, Coptic Church and the Brethren churches were among
the attendees. All were very thankful and appreciative of the Bible Society for
conducting training seminars, where the life of the church and the importance
of the Bible were highlighted. |
