About the teacher:

Heath Pucel is an evangelist at Fishermen’s Call, Keep Your Finger in the Text & George Whitfield Preaching Academy instructor, and GWP Overseer of Education.

Workshop focus this year will be a "Preaching Practicum."

Understanding and communicating the message of the Bible from a biblical text is crucial as an evangelist. Devoting time for preparation and preaching is often neglected in lieu of emphasizing, "We just need to preach the Gospel."

This year will be a different experience as we work to build preachers. During the week you will:

• Preach sermons at the start of the fellowship conference and receive feedback.
• Receive instructional guidance highlighting the common areas for improvement.
• Re-preach sermons in light of feedback and instruction.
• Offer encouragement and exhortation to peers.

Each participant will apply the principles in the workshop through text and preaching assignments.

Heath describes the goal of his teaching:

"The commitment for building preachers starts with a conviction for faithful exposition in preaching and teaching scripture. It requires devoting yourself to prayer and ministry of the word. Devotion to prayer highlights our complete dependence on God in understanding His word to us and then our hearers. Devotion to the ministry of the word focuses on strengthening the preaching skills. This approach provides a path to practical, persuasive, powerful preaching. By carefully studying and interpreting the Bible, we discover and gain a deeper understanding of God's Word, as it applies to our own lives first, which leads to preaching and teaching with greater accuracy and effectiveness in the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
