A Short Word, April 2025
Have you ever felt like God was calling you to more work than you could handle? Pastor Cameron Shabangu found himself in that situation. He was planting a church among university students in Cape Town, South Africa when he was presented with the opportunity to revitalize another local church in need of a pastor. He didn’t have the bandwidth to run a church plant and a revitalization on his own. Cameron would need help, especially with the preaching load. Fortunately, having returned home from the Chicago Course on Preaching, he felt equipped to train a few young men to do just that. “We are doing worksheets together and giving feedback on each other’s preaching. It is the Course that made me a better trainer.” As a result, gospel ministry is multiplying across Cape Town as more young preachers are raised up.
We aim to see more pastors and teachers like Cameron equipped to both preach and train. Do you know someone who would benefit from training at the Chicago Course on Preaching? If so, please reply and let me know. I’d love to talk to them.
In Christ,
Jeremy Meeks
Director of the Chicago Course on Preaching
