November 05-07, 2026 | Erbil, Iraq
What Is It?
The Workshop on Biblical Exposition is a three-day training event aimed to encourage and equip you in the skills needed to read, understand, and proclaim the Word of God.
Who Should Attend?
The Workshops on Biblical Exposition are generally for people who are responsible for regularly preaching and teaching. We also welcome those in bi-vocational ministries as well as those training for ministry.
How Should I Prepare?
The most important aspect of a Workshop is the time in Small Groups. It is essential each person arrives prepared to present on the two different passages assigned to them. We have created a guide for helping you get started.
