Other Features of this Ministry
Footsteps of Jesus Christ, through the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, obeys God in an effective and Scriptural way, in which to give to Jesus Christ, by fullfilliing St. Matthew 25:34-40, which says:
34 "Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 † When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 † Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

Ministerial & Leadership Training
Footsteps of Jesus Christ conducts a Ministerial & Leadership Training series, where God has called us to go into Houses of God, the homes of the saints, and to train directly in our services, training leaders for accuracy in service to God.
The Lord instructed us that, those who desire to move forward in ministry, must have read through the Word of God, at least once. And following the successful completion of the Minister's training course, a Certificate of Licensure for ministry will be awarded. And after successful completion of the Leadership Training manual, the minister will become an ordained elder, which could lead to pastoring, and/or evangelism.
Proven Ministerial experience will suffice as a prerequisite to Licensure and Ordination.
We thank all of you who have shown an interest in training with Footsteps of Jesus Christ, in pursuit of your calling. These Specialized individual Scripture trainings can be scheduled with Dr. Hulsey at your convenience.
