Jesus never proclaimed the Gospel without demonstrating it in power and love. Jesus’ healing ministry is at the heart of His Gospel and he expects His disciples to minister His healing on the earth (cf Mk 16:15-20). The Encounter School of Healing consists of five teaching sessions focused on the theology underpinning and practical application of partnering with the Holy Spirit to bring healing to the world around you. Healing is Jesus’ idea. It was essential to the effective proclamation of the Gospel during Jesus’ ministry and we are convinced it is one of the missing components to the effective New Evangelization of our city and nation.
DAY 1 - Friday, April 12th from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM DAY 2 - Saturday, April 13th from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
FULL SCHEDULE
Teachings will include:
Prophetic Worship - The Encounter School of Ministry values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. Classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.
Renewal of the Mind - Students learn about the nature of transformation by the renewal of the mind and seek to shift from thinking from an earthly perspective to a heavenly perspective in regard to ministry
Ministry Tools - We believe that as you embrace your identity and live out of the inheritance Jesus won for you, your mission, ministry, and God-given dreams will flourish in every season of life.
Ministry & Miracles - You will have many opportunities to both receive and offer prayer ministry, practice with the gifts you have understood and activated, share God’s heart with your neighbors, and celebrate the miracles the Lord is working!
Refreshment & Renewal - Burnout often accompanies life in mission. Be renewed, transformed, and set on fire for the Kingdom.
