MINISTRY APPRENTICES
Why MTS?
Jesus said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” (Matt 9:37-38)
The harvest is plentiful. At Engadine Heathcote Anglican we long for everyone to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. We believe that all Christians have been sent out as workers into his harvest field. And our prayer is that God would raise up from among us a new generation of full-time gospel workers. We want to be a generous church that carefully disciples, trains, and sends workers beyond Engadine and Heathcote. Building Up and Reaching Out for the Glory of Jesus, across Sydney; Australia; the World.
So we invest in MTS (the Minstry Training Strategy), where we set aside able leaders for 2 years of training, before they (usually) leave us for Bible College.
