Standard Bearers Institute
Tuesday, April 19, 2011
To The Executive Board Of The Fellowship of Churches:
Dear Pastors, Officers, members and friends,
I, DeWayne Thomas, Senior Pastor, along with Jacqualine Thomas, my lovely wife, and our ministry team are inviting you to participate in the establishment of The Standard Bearers Institute (SBI).
What is The Standard Bearers Institute (SBI)?
It will be the fulfillment of a dream my wife and I have to inspire our youth, the progenitors, of the next generation. S.B.I. will be a faith based life prep organization. It entails three basic edicts; value, virtue and the appreciation of and for life. These edicts will be demonstrated through drill and oral presentation. We are excited about introducing you to our family at R.E.L.A.T.E. Ministries. Our organization is comprised of two divisions. First is the House Church soon to be a cluster of simple house churches working together, winning souls, and equipping to edify the body of Jesus Christ. Second we are a community service agency dedicated to:
“Educating, Equipping and Empowering Individuals Today Producing Pillars of the Community for Tomorrow.”
• Through teaching we edify.
• Through training we equip.
• Through discipleship we perfect producing steadfast, productive, and mature Christians who walk in the image of Christ.
We are looking for men and women to work in various capacities as we develop the training and curriculum for S.B.I.
