The Shaking of Nations - A Harvest Tsunami Is On Its Way....

Streamlining Bible Education

It is obvious from the many apostolic leaders recorded in the

New Testament that early church leadership received ongoing

training by letter and by apostolic team leaders visiting the

many house churches.

Today, bible and ministry training can happen more rapidly

through online classes — which Paul would have envied. This

does not do away with the continuing need for in-person

training, but it does allow Bible colleges, seminaries, and

apostolic teams to give ongoing training while they continue to

expand the Kingdom of God into other locations and people

groups.

I must make clear that I am not against Bible colleges and

seminaries as such. I work for a Bible college at this moment.

But like the churches they serve, they must share in the coming

reformation in how they train and prepare leaders to form and

lead churches.

Please hear me: The traditional western model of church

formation and training needs reformation — not elimination. We

need a fresh, inspired paradigm and deep adjustments in light

of what God is ready to do.
