Thanks for your support in enabling this." Paul Cooper “Two Ways Ministries has been a wonderful traineeship in pastoral ministry. Phillip teaches how to practically apply the theological framework learnt at Moore College and how to serve those God has given us with love. I can’t think of a better preparation for faithful full-time ministry. Simon Tsang “I’ve loved being part of the Two Ways Ministries team this year. It’s helped me grow firm in my confidence and faith of how the Bible speaks into the issues the world is thinking about. I’m bolder in chatting with my non-Christian friends evangelistically.” Joshua Hesford “Phillip has taught us an entire framework for doing ministry and the skills needed to carry it out. He has also taken the time to consider where I need to grow and helped me in this and shown me where my strengths lie and encouraged me to use them.” Two Ways Ministries Preaching the gospel by teaching the Bible .
