Timetable
About LMS
LMS offers workshop-based training for brethren to take part in the Literary Ministry. The timetable includes livestreamed lessons on the LMS theme, group discussions and peer review sessions via video conferencing. Classes will run according to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) timings.
Theme
This year, LMS encourages attendees to be lights of the world by supporting them to share the grace of God through writing testimonies to edify the church and to glorify the name of Jesus.
Writing projects
Attendees can choose one of two writing projects:
- Write their own personal testimony
- Write a testimony on behalf of another True Jesus Church member (with the member’s consent).
For your writing project, if you are writing another True Jesus Church member’s testimony, the LMS Planning Team will provide a ‘how-to interview’ guide to help you do this. You will also need to do the following actions so that you are ready to write their testimony during LMS:
- Ask for the other member’s consent to write their testimony before you complete this application form,
- Send a photo of the other member’s consent form to UK DLM or ask them to complete the online consent form,
- Interview the other member before LMS begins,
- Make any other necessary preparations (e.g. transcribe recordings).
