Vision


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!"

Curriculum

There are two 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. As well, Phase 1 focuses on equipping students with the necessary tools to wholeheartedly pursue Jesus, grow in prayer, and understand the word of God. Phase 2 exists to engage students that have completed Phase 1 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 2 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.

Prayer Room

"One afternoon, our team was at a local temple for evangelism. For most of the afternoon the typical response we received was that, “Jesus is just one of the many gods.” My husband and I received a similar reaction from a small group of locals. When the conversation seemed to be at a stale-mate, we asked if they had any pain in their body. They looked at each other with hesitation, but finally one of the men admitted to having pain in his arm. We prayed for his arm and when we had finished he looked at us with wide eyes. With a startled look he started flailing his arm around in circles and shaking his wrist. All of the pain had gone. Not only that, but he was now open to hearing the Gospel. We told him the Good News and he received it. Immediately after, he wanted to receive Jesus as his Lord and Savior, even denying the other gods in the temple we were in. He prayed and surrendered his life to Christ, all while continuing to shake his arm in amazement that the pain was still gone. We then encouraged him to pray for his friend who now told us he had a headache. Once again, the pain immediately went away as the friend looked on with amazement. She too decided to give her life to the Lord right there. We gained a new brother and sister to the Kingdom that day. Praise the Lord!"


"We were about to start worshipping at a crowded square when we noticed a man looking over at our group. One of us walked over to talk to him and struck up a conversation about the Gospel. At the end of the Gospel presentation, we prayed for the man. The man felt a profound sense of peace after the prayer. He knew that the God we worshiped must be the true living God and he gave his life to the Lord in that moment. Not only that, but he shared that he is an English teacher that has 350 students and said, “I am going to have all my students read the bible so they can learn about Jesus too.” This one salvation led to hundreds more hearing the Gospel!"


"During our outreach we spent almost two weeks working with refugee families who had recently been displaced by war. We brought packages of groceries, as well as the Gospel, to over 125 homes. At one of the homes we met a woman who had a dream of a Man in White and she described him saying, “His face was bright like the sun, and He pointed to two houses. One house where everyone goes to heaven, and one house where everyone goes to hell.” He then looked at her and asked her “which one do you choose?” This gave us an incredible opportunity to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with her and her whole family."
