Grace Seminar for Pastors by Pastor Joshua
They used the same Bible, containing the same verses, yet when God opened their eyes to His goodness, it melted their hearts. On the first session, Pastor Joshua preached to a 50 man congregation made up of pastors of Vietnam. One of the pastor’s wives translated as Pastor Joshua expounded on Jesus as our Righteousness.

The pastors of Vietnam sat there, rock still. Their faces said it all: reserved, straight, and tight. Still, Pastor Joshua preached uncompromisingly on the Gospel of Grace.
By the 5th session, also the last session, walls of resistance crumbled giving way to hunger, thirst and excitement to know even more about the grace message that was being shared. The fresh revelations brought a natural smile to their faces. The many to-do-list that they had, the confusion between law and grace, the many questions and uncertainties they once had, God had answered them all.
Notably, one of the less responsive Pastors progressively shifted from the back row to the middle section and on the last day, chose to sit at the front, devouring every bit of the Grace message that was being shared.
The Vietnamese pastors themselves said, “I don’t really understand fully, but I felt there was a warm feeling in my heart.” “Pastor, this is amazing, why didn’t you come earlier.”
At the end of the 5 sessions, a total of 59 pastors had attended the Grace Seminar.
