Throughout history, we see that there comes a time in every generation where a people take their stand against darkness. Those who have been captured by a higher vision than what is being offered by the culture of the day, namely a vision for eternity. Today, God is awakening a cry in the heart of a generation, a cry for more.
Across the Earth, the Spirit of God is raising up worshippers who will lay hold of God in the place of prayer and fasting. Even as John the Baptist was called to be a voice in the wilderness, the Lord is calling forth young men and women to the ministry of hiddenness. Discontent with the plastic of popularity and powerless Christianity, the cry of the Baptizer is sounding through a generation: “He must increase, I must decrease.”
As darkness increases and the love of many grows cold, there is a light shining from the womb of the morning. A volunteer people that will offer themselves freely to the Lord is arising. The time has come for worshippers, intercessors, and messengers to go forth as voices in the wilderness crying out, “make straight the way of the Lord!";
Information and Frequently Asked Questions
Curriculum
There are three phases of training in the ACTS School of Ministry.
Phase 1 will be a life changing experience as you encounter Jesus, change the world in prayer, and build lifelong spiritual friendships. Training and curriculum will be primarily focused on envisioning students for a life of prayer, intimacy with Jesus, and depth in the word of God.
Phase 2 focuses on equipping students with the necessary tools and practices to wholeheartedly pursue Jesus, grow in prayer, and understand the word of God.
Phase 3 exists to engage students that have completed Phases 1 and 2 in a life of ministry to the Lord, disciple making, declaration of the gospel, and service to the Church. Students will receive hands-on training experience in the context of day and night ministry to the Lord. Phase 3 is designed to raise up and train leaders for the great commission.
Community
A central value to the ACTS School of Ministry is God Centered Community. In Acts 2:42-47 we see a description of a community committed to a regular rhythm of prayer, the word, service, and fellowship with one another. Students can expect to be immersed into the life of community during their time in the ACTS School of Ministry. We believe that lifelong spiritual friendships will be formed, hearts will be provoked in godliness, and a corporate cry for the fullness of God will arise in the midst of community life in the school. As well, students can expect to have the opportunity to serve together in a number of different contexts, to share meals together, and to have a lot of fun in the midst of the training program.
