Ministry Training Strategy
Training gospel workers at St Paul's
MTS at St Paul's
MTS (Ministry Training Strategy) helps raise up and send gospel workers through two years of hands-on training with experienced pastors at St Paul’s. We pray these apprentices will take the good news of Jesus to our city, nation, and the world.
“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest field.”
Matthew 9:37-38

“I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.”
These words, written by Paul in his letter to the Philippians, are words I’d heard many times, but I don’t think I’d really understood their implications until earlier this year.
God showed me what it looked like for someone else to live with this desire to know Christ, and how deeply it shaped their life. Since then, as I’ve continued to understand these words more, I’ve found myself increasingly swept up by that same desire – to know Jesus not just in part, but through every aspect of life. It’s something I now desire too.
For me, MTS is an opportunity to explore that more deeply. I want to know Christ better, to be shaped by him, and to grow in living faithfully for him.
I pray that, as God works in me, others might see something of Jesus more clearly and want to know him too.
Pray that God would help me to persevere and keep pointing others to Jesus for His glory.

Although I have loved working as an ecologist for the past 5 years and enjoy the lifestyle that I currently have, I see a greater need in this world for people to hear the gospel and have Jesus as their Lord.
Paul writes in Philippians “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labour for me”. I am committed to live for Christ with what time I have, and I see MTS as a fantastic opportunity to try it in a full-time capacity.
I am also excited at the prospect of being trained and to grow in my knowledge of God, no matter what I do after MTS.
Please pray that God will give me zeal and eagerness to serve him.
Pray that I will trust and depend on God in all ministries I serve in.
Pray that God will grow me in love towards Him and His people.

Leaving the world of teaching has been a difficult decision, but one we have made because we long to spend more and more of our time and energy teaching people about the good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection. We have been challenged that ‘those who can teach should teach the gospel’ and are convinced that the gospel is the greatest news we can share.
Please pray that we would grow in our knowledge and love of God.
Pray that we would depend on God in prayer as we serve across various ministries.
Pray that God would help us to work well as a married team in ministry.
