They need formation.
They need somebody to tell them what ministry feels like after the ordination service is over.
They need somebody to explain what happens when the crowd does not come.
They need somebody to tell them that a closed door does not mean God has forgotten them.
They need to know what to do when family life becomes difficult, when money is scarce, when leaders disappoint them, when a sermon falls flat, when jealousy enters the room, when criticism gets personal, when their body is tired, and when they begin wondering whether they heard God correctly in the first place.
Those lessons do not always show up in a syllabus.
But they belong in the education of a preacher.
That is what these letters are.
They are part classroom.
Part testimony.
Part warning.
Part encouragement.
Part confession.
And, I hope, part grandfather sitting on the porch saying, “Son, before you go any farther, let me tell you something I learned down the road.”
I did not write these letters because I believe I did everything right.
Quite the opposite.
I wrote them because I have made mistakes.
I have moved too fast.
I have taken on too much.
I have had seasons when ministry crowded family.
I have wrestled with disappointment.
I have misunderstood people and been misunderstood by people.
I have had to learn when to speak and when to be quiet.
I have had to learn that not every open door belongs to me.
I have had to learn that gifting without wisdom can hurt people.
I have had to learn that leadership without prayer becomes dangerous.
I have had to learn that a preacher can be publicly successful and privately exhausted.
And I have had to learn over and over again that Jesus is enough.
That is why I want to give the young preacher more than my victories.
I want to give him some of my scars too.
There is no sense in you falling into every hole I fell into if I can point it out before you get there.
If I bumped my head on a low ceiling, I ought to tell you to duck.
If I discovered that a certain road ends in frustration, I ought to tell you before you spend ten years walking down it.
That is mentoring.
That is discipleship.
That is part of the ministry of Angelos Biblical Institute.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
