Victoria, Australia—The Missionary Training Program in Melbourne has successfully completed its first two weeks, marking a strong and encouraging start to an intensive period of spiritual and practical preparation for the missionary students.
The training program is being conducted through a structured daily schedule, with five hours of instruction each morning and afternoon. Morning sessions have focused on equipping students to present home Bible studies, using Treasures of Truth, a series of 40 Bible studies designed especially for those unfamiliar with Adventism. Afternoon classes, taught by Brother Nathan Tyler, have emphasized the preparation and presentation of Bible studies, with students delivering weekly presentations as part of their practical training.
Throughout the first two weeks, students have actively participated in hands-on learning. Each one has presented nearly one Bible study per day, gaining valuable experience in clear communication, confidence, and faithfulness to Scripture.
During this time, a significant development took place for one of the program participants. Sister Hannah Lausevic was elected as the Australasian Union Conference (AUC) Youth and Children’s Director. She will serve full-time in this responsibility as a Bible Worker, a role that aligns closely with the missionary training she is currently receiving.
As the program continues, six weeks of instruction and practical experience still lie ahead. The faculty request the prayers of the worldwide church family for both the students and instructors, that the Lord may continue to guide, strengthen, and bless all involved in this important work of preparation for service.
