"...Teach what accords with sound doctrine. Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanders or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good and so train the young..." Titus 2:1b-4a
Imagine being a "twenty something," with over twenty years of ministry experience; a young single missionary, with the wisdom you gain after 25 years of marriage, at your fingertips. A new prophet learning from a lifetime of prophesying over peoples and nations. This has become the second year student's reality through the Living Room Sessions. The LRS are essentially a time for us, as students, and the senior leaders of the community to converse on topics important in a life of ministry. This is a special time for us, as we are able to ask questions and they to pour into each of us. Dr. Wayne and Bonnie Wilks invited us into their home the first week of school to share the wisdom they have gained through years of balancing ministry and family life. Our second session was with the patriarchs of the Gateways community, Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph. They let us "pick their brain" about prophecy, from accuracy, to context, to how we should steward our growing prophetic giftings when we go home to our respective countries or other divine destinations. We all see what a treasure these sessions are to us, as the younger generation, and feel so privileged to draw from these amazing lives of faith.
