This summer we hosted three small "School Of Prophetic Ministry" conferences. The first one, held at the end of May, we allowed to be diverted from the main theme, and felt that because of this it was one of our least effective conferences. For the next two we resolved to stay focused on the theme and, and when measured by that which will probably be long term fruit, these may have been our most effective conferences yet. Because they were so effective, and we had to turn so many people away that we did not have room for in these conferences, we are going to schedule more for 1997. Dates will be announced at the October Conference.

It is a basic goal of our ministry is to see everyone we are helping to equip in prophetic gifts and callings experience measurable growth each year. Therefore, beginning next year we will also hold at least one "Advanced School of Prophetic Ministry Conference" for those who have already attended one of our Basic Schools. We will also be allowing those who have attended one of the Basic Schools, and who have demonstrated a true prophetic gift, to serve on our Prophetic Ministry Teams at the conferences for further training. For the times ahead, we know that the church must have a prophetic ministry functioning on much higher levels than we now have.

One of our ultimate goals is to work with local churches to establish Prophetic Ministry Teams that are able to serve the Body of Christ whenever and wherever needed. Even King David, who was one of the greatest prophets in the Old Testament, had the wisdom and humility to inquire of other prophets at times. We know that in the times ahead the Body of Christ must have trustworthy prophetic ministries that are available for those who must inquire of the Lord for strategic purposes. We believe that some on these teams will eventually rise to the biblical stature of a true prophetic ministry, recognized and trusted by the body of Christ, and able to help equip and guide her for her prophetic destiny.
