ALL DAY MINISTERS SEMINAR - BILL GOTHARD TEACHER
What did I believe was necessary to be an effective preacher and pastor?

I have been a little side-tracked from our intended purpose of talking about our journey in ministry, but I believe the last several weeks have been important for our discussion.

We left off with our arrival in Altoona, Kansas in 1980 (10/04/06 #58)

I am not sure how I was introduced to the Basic Institute, but I remember going to my first Seminar. Monday thru Saturday. I was in shock on Monday thru Thursday. By Friday and Saturday I was in awe of the material I had just heard. And for the next twelve years I was very much a part of the ministry.

Much of what I taught on Wednesday nights, and in Bible Study came from the material I learned from the Seminar and All Day Ministers Seminar.
I still today believe much of the material for practical ministry.

What did I believe was necessary to be an effective preacher and pastor

Sadly, I have not kept up with IBYC and Bill Gothard since 1990, so I am not really aware of the ministry and have not attended any seminars since 1990. Thus, I cannot speak about any events after 1990; but I will say, I will stand by any material used from 1978 thru 1990. I would still use the material today as much as I did at First Baptist Church in Altoona, Ks.

I went to their site today, and they are doing well as I understand. They still have Basic Seminars.

Today you have those men who have live blogging from a conference. I took notes from the seminar and then came home and from my hand-written notes wrote a rather good set of notes, which I still have today.

The material from the All Day Ministers Seminars was different from any Seminar I had gone to. The material presented by Bill was not your conventional material for Church ministry. So when you first heard the principles set forth you questioned them.

When you had time to study the material, you realized how good they were. Over the years many of the thoughts were put into operation.

THE BASIC INSTITUTE OF YOUTH CONFLICT SEMINAR

September 1978 was our first experience with Institute of Basic Youth Conflicts.. I attended my first Seminar in Indianapolis, Indiana, my second in Wichita, Kansas in 1980, another in Tulsa, Ok. in 1983, and then the Advanced Seminar in Atlanta, GA.

In 1978 my father-in-law Bob Temple and I went to our first All Day Ministers Seminar, and the first one Bill had. There were less then 500 preachers present from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The last Seminar I went to there were over 3,000 men.
