Catch the fire international leader’s school of ministry level 2 report

This conference was centered around Father Heart teaching and the love and intimacy with the Trinity. Knowing who I am in Father and allowing His unconditional love to make a difference has been a real key to freedom and intimacy with Him, in my life.  In this love I can safely deal with emotional issues,which the conference addressed. Issues such as anger and shame, guilt, jealousy and rejection, insecurity and ungodly beliefs. There was teaching and activation on the Prophetic to be used on the streets, with friends, in Church and as a Christian counselor,in my work and ministry which the Lord uses to bring His healing. The conference has encouraged me to learn to hear God’s voice clearly and confidently and for that to be a lifestyle out of the intimate relationship with My Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. We pray ‘Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.’ Thank you Catch the Fire for your Christ-centered love which modeled what you taught.  Judy

A fully packed conference with a great deal to go on exploring! Important for me just now was the teaching and activations around declarations. Job 22:28 says, “you will declare a thing and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways” (NKJV). Declarations are for when we need to break through in God’s will for us specific areas, eg, in decreeing prosperity into our life or Church, or when we need to push forward in prophetic words we’ve received or in agreeing with God in the area of healing.

Declarations are a powerful way of working with God by speaking our voice in disagreement with the enemy and in agreement with the Lord. When we consistently speak to the mountain to move or call what ‘is not’ into being, then God says it will be established and light will shine on our ways.So, I am going for this personally and we’re beginning to move in this on Sunday evenings as a Church, Praise God!

The way of the Master

‘The way of the Master’ is one of a few of the courses we are using to train ourselves in evangelism. It is based on the award-winning TV series by Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort. The basic eight session course is especially created to train believers in a group format seeking to teach and show us how to simply and confidently share the Gospel with family, friends and strangers.

Here are some comments given after session 7 from those who have been attending our first course.

“This course has been an eye opener, giving me a new dimension to my witnessing. It has been well structured, practical, challenging. The best part was the showing of how to do the witnessing and proving on the streets that it works. Praise God!”     Dave.

“This is the gospel for real – given with great clarity. It has helped me to see that anything less is positively unhelpful and can block people from true faith in Jesus”   Tricia.

“Have found the course so far very enlightening, especially based on the 10 commandments, which are so applicable today. Very direct and focused when interviewing people and seemingly, in minutes, very effective evangelism. Their methods I haven’t experienced before and worth considering. Thanks.”  Lucille.

“Superb!! Very helpful in knowing how to speak to non-believers and lead them to Christ. Videos very helpful and enjoyable. I have learnt a great deal, praise the Lord. The cards and million pound note have been brilliant “ice-breakers” to lead to a discussion about Jesus.”  Kathy.

“The way of the master course is proving very challenging. It’s ‘hard hitting’ but in a way that has made me look at my own ‘walk’ with Christ in a deeper way. As an English person I feel uncomfortable using the American mannerisms in this course and as such I feel a ‘bit of a failure’ but I will endeavor to keep witnessing in my own way until I become more proficient. It is a blessing”  Helen.

“Very helpful to have a structure to work with – key cards are also helpful – it will build confidence in witnessing – Also another point is just how important reaching the lost is, the choice of heaven or hell.”  Gordon.

“Incredibly helpful in showing how to approach people. It would have been better if it had been English rather than American, because Americans wear their hearts on their sleeves, whereas reactions from English people are more likely to be different as they are more reserved on the whole. Praise God for all who have committed their lives to Him and been made righteous in Him through this programme.”  Joy.

“Encouraging, helpful, enjoyable. Rather American – not gentle approach, I will pray it through”  Margaret.

I have attended only two sessions and have been challenged”  Maggie.

“I have enjoyed the course. It has been very helpful. Lots of food for thought. Made me look a my own life more closely.”  Doreen.

“Its emphasis on conscience and righteousness using the Ten Commandments is so effective. On the streets people have been very open. But this method has been helpful in helping me build in confidence to reach the lost”  Judy.

Haiti Testimony

During the testimony time in our Sunday morning service, we watched this short clip of the wonderful testimony of what happened when the nation of Haiti humbled itself before God in response to the tremendous tragedy it had just suffered, holding three days of national fasting and pray!
