“Our goal is to make disciples in every nation.”
Thailand The School first came here in 2000. One of the top Chaplains in the Thai Army went through the School and is now training others in the Thai military. One of these was a Major General from the supreme command. Teams have now been raised up and are going out seeing souls won to Christ. They desire to raise up disciples upon every military camp in the country and to have Schools running on strategic camps in the land. Another leader is bringing the School to the Royal Thai Air force. Others from the police hierarchy are doing the same. This is just the beginning of a great national work.
Cambodia A General in the country’s Army along with 47 others went through the School in December 2006. This work is prospering under the hand of God.
Russia The School began here 15 years ago and since then has circled the globe. At the beginning of this work thousands were converted and many leaders trained. These leaders are still labouring effectually and fervently. The past year has seen 500 students come through the School from across this land which includes 20 cities where it is being run. In certain areas many students come from Muslim backgrounds.
Trinidad & Tobago In 2005, 100 Pastors gathered to hear about the School. In August the first school was run with 18 students. Since then more than five Schools have been run in training leaders. A new building has been erected with students coming from surrounding countries.
Venezuela In the past seven years over 750 native Indians have been trained and at the same time Wycliffe Bible translators finished working on translating the Bible into their language. This was the first generation of this people to have the written Scriptures. A great many new churches have been planted through these new labourers. God has confirmed His Gospel in this land with many wonderful miracles. This work has spread over into Columbia where the Book of Acts is being seen and experienced again.
Ethiopia Half of the population is under 25 years of age. The first School ran at the end of 2007. The prayer meetings in these Schools have been so powerful that it has been hard to bring them to an end. Many young students were leaders in the Lutheran church. One of the students led a Church of 8000 people; he was deeply impacted and changed while being taught the truth of the Gospel. This is just a beginning in this land.
India Brother Clendennen has a vision for planting 1000 Schools in this land. Just recently one of the hardest regions,
Punjab, has begun to yield students. Across India over the past years we have graduated 58 full time Schools and over 700 night Schools involving over 10,000 graduates. Students from 23 of the 26 states have passed through the School and have been sent out preaching and teaching. Much opposition from false religion has resisted the pure Gospel being preached in this land but God has confirmed His Word with signs following.
Prisons Ministry Since 1992 the School has been run in prisons on four continents. In Lima Peru, South America, a revival came to what was considered one of the worst prisons in the world. It was transformed by the truth and power of God. One of the prison Generals acknowledged that only the Word of God could do this. Converted and trained men who were released from these prisons went forth preaching the Gospel and planting churches. The School is now running in over 70 prisons in America including some of the biggest and hardest.
Pakistan Since the beginning of 2007, 500 leaders and 120 Pastors have been trained who were drawn from every denomination. There are 27 separate Schools running, 23 of which are in cities. There is a great expectation amongst these students that God is going to send revival.
Haiti This is the 4th poorest country in the world. In 2003 the President dedicated the nation to Satan. Voodooism is the dominant religion with 93% of the population practising it. Three attempts at kidnapping were made upon the Director of the School. Last year two of the Pastors attending the School were brutally killed and a bounty was placed upon the Director’s head. Gangsters attacked the SOC compound with guns but did not manage to get in. One policeman was also shot dead. The School Director had to leave the country but the School is continuing with much fruit.
Dominican Republic Great favour has been given with many of the leaders of this nation. Many of the Church Bishops have opened doors and sent students to be trained. These students have spread out across the nation. Great conventions and conferences have been held as a result. Today the School is run in this land by graduates of the School.
“All the World”
This is a brief overview of just some of the countries where we are training true disciples of Jesus Christ in the School. Time or space would not allow us to share all the great Christ glorifying testimonies. We are training students in a host of other places like Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Philippine Islands, Indonesia, Kenya, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Argentina, Cuba, Kosovo, Macedonia, Ukraine, Armenia, Papua New Guinea and China. Month by month and year by year we receive reports of new countries and areas reached, new churches planted, souls saved, bodies healed, the dead raised to life, truth restored, leaders quickened and churches revived. We are not a denomination, organisation or association; we are simply a voice in the wilderness reaching all nations, touching every church group and mission movement. Our message is Christ Jesus, our source book is the Bible, our vision is every nation, our power is in the Holy Spirit, our unity is through the Blood of Jesus Christ and the truth of God’s Word, our time scale is until Jesus comes again, our labour is to prepare a Bride for the soon coming Lamb of God, and our joy is the glory of the Father.
