By Dwayne Dueck, School Of Ministry Graduate 2020 I am almost finished my semester of doing the Heart Module and it’s been one of the most life-changing experiences. Here are three reasons to consider attending: Spiritual Transformation There’s something to get out of the school for everyone whether you’re a new Christian or a pastor, whether you just graduated or are established in your career. I’ve been a Christian since I was six years old and have been growing in my journey with God for the last 15 years, but this school was a great season of expedited spiritual growth and knowledge.&nb ..read more

By Dwayne Dueck, School Of Ministry Graduate 2020 Identifying and Addressing not Suppressing    I’ve learned the importance of taking time to identify what is going on, what I’m experiencing, and what I’m feeling. Before coming to the School Of Ministry I would normally suppress and try to avoid my feelings, especially the uncomfortable ones. The school has really given me great practical tools and tips on how to identify what is actually happening within me and then to dig into it and address the root source, which often ends up being an old issue or belief raising its he ..read more

With a warm smile, he uttered a few words in a potent French accent, “Holy Spirit more.†I sat at my usual corner where all the cool SGL’s (Student Group Leaders) sat. My legs were crossed, my focus slightly attentive, and the furrows on my br ..read more

By Michael Aviel, Student at SOM 2020 Heart Module “No man is an island,” I remember my mom echoing this truth into my ears, hoping perhaps, her words would change my disposition with regards to friendship. Like most introverts, I had grown quite comfortable with my own alone space; a true lone ranger by today’s standards.  We go to school to learn mostly academically, but also about life and how to be a productive part of the infrastructure of our society. We go to school to be prepared for our futures, to learn lessons and prepare for our paths. But what better way to be prepared for t ..read more

We recently received a testimony from one of the graduates of our 3-week Leaders School Online. Here is Amelia’s story: After being a Christian for many years, I finally learnt to sit down and process what's happening to my heart when unpleasant things happen.  It used to be my automatic response to go to entertainment or food for comfort whenever my heart felt uncomfortable or stressed.  During the 3-week school, a lot of times I got to look into my heart issues.  I learnt that I had to acknowledge the pains before my heart wounds could be healed.  My heart has felt a lo ..read more

Revival. It is our hunger, our vision, our pursuit. In the school of ministry we are chasing the one who does the impossible before breakfast and the merely supernatural in the middle of the night.  In the School of Ministry we are looking and preparing for revival. It is the one thing we must have. Because the School of Ministry was born in the midst of revival, in the middle of the laughter and tears and the stunning movement of the Holy Spirit. We came to life in the embrace of the Father. And we cannot live in the ordinary. We can never be content to stay where we are. There is more and we ..read more

“Kindness is a language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” – Mark Twain_I put my purple vest on, embroidered with “Jesus is Lord” and stepped onto the street to minister to the homeless. The unclean smells and dirty concrete was all I saw, at first. Rubbish crowded the sidewalk and smoke crowded the air. It was a place of desperation, reeking of hopelessness, and stale ambition. Then, in between the withering trees, I saw people. Men and women carrying sacks, their entire belongings. Their faces were enough – death had robbed them of life and purpose and promise, and the only thing ..read more
