The Vision
God has promised and commanded me to awaken 10,000 firebrand ministers. A firebrand in scripture was a stick of fire wood pulled from a bon-fire to be used like a torch, spreading the flame and dipersing the darkness.
Sampson took a firebrand and lit the tails of 300 foxes and sent them running through and enemy's crops...that's quite and image! That's why we have launched this Firebrand School of Ministry and our motto is..."If you've got'em, light'em!"
Why is such a thing needed? Because we are in the middle of a new American Awakening. The Holy Spirit is no longer "hovering above the chaos", He has plunged into the hearts of this nation and Kingdom Revival is, IS, IS upon us! A new countercultural wind is blowing in the Body of Christ and while that gale force has been active in me for over 30 years, only recently, while attending a leadership conference at my new spiritual covering in Redding, California, when challenged to ask God for a fresh baptism in fire, I heard God speak to me, "You've faithfully communicated the Kingdom for 25 years... from this day forward you will demonstrate the Kingdom in Healing power". I've been smoldering ever since...
This school of ministry will not be a place of knowledge alone, but a place of impartation. What one generation fought for and won should not be a stopping place, but a new beginning point for the next generation to build upon & increase.
We will not be a reaction to the current Christian culture, fixated too often on "going to heaven", however we will desperately, passionately and "with loud crying and tears" (Hebrews 5:7) seek to create a Kingdom Culture with a laser like focus on bringing heaven to earth.
American Christianity is not at risk for lack of information or schools. It is in need of 3 things, which form the nucleus of our vision.
1. Generational Impartation; Elijah to Elisha 2 fold increase.
2. Hold Spirit Conversion; the Baptism of Fire from Jesus.
3. Healing of and through authentic spiritual authority in the 5-fold ministry (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher)
Our Mission
Firebrand School of Ministry's mission is to equip & deploy full time ministers, whose core value is, "On earth, as it is in heaven" into the full spectrum of life on earth: artists, politicians, entrepreneurs, inventors, home-makers, church workers, and servants of all descriptions. Out of their authentic passion, they will transform the world through the communication and demonstration of the Kingdom of God.The Experience
