Ministerial Diploma
WHY CHOOSE ELISHA INITIATIVE?
Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. (2 Corinthians 5:18). The call to Ministry isn’t reserved for a select few. While not everyone is called to full-time Ministry, every believer is called to ministry. We all have a calling of God on our lives, and no matter what that calling is, we must be equipped for the work of ministry (Ephesians 4:12). We must be diligent to present ourselves approved of God (2 Timothy 2:15). Now more than ever is the time to be prepared and equipped.
