Ministry Follow-Up Report

From each course that you take in your Asia Biblical Theological Seminary master’s program, we hope that you will discover some new ideas that you want to try in your ministry or workplace situation. You might also decide to teach or preach a series of lessons/sermons using class materials. After you have had time to apply what you have learned in class to your ministry or workplace, you need to analyze how the plan worked out in practice.

The Ministry Follow-Up Report outline has a series of ideas that will help you to think about what happened. We don’t necessarily expect that you will answer every question, but we do want an honest report telling details about the plan, the results, why you think it turned out the way it did and what you learned.

Don’t forget that failures can be good learning experiences; we want to hear about both failures and successes. It is possible that you will try to put into practice something that you learned, but then decide that this wasn’t such a good idea after all – or perhaps your colleagues will vote against the idea. This doesn’t mean you can’t write a good report. Just tell us why you decided against the idea, or why you think other people reacted the way they did, and what you learned from the whole experience.

Please note that these reports must be connected specifically to something you learned in one of your classes and must include analysis and evaluation. General descriptions of disconnected ministry or workplace experiences will not fulfill this requirement.
