Now, after the advanced ministry training quarter, with the advanced prophecy training, I have been able to change my approach. Instead of asking the person how I can pray for them, I ask Jesus to reveal to me something that I don’t know about them that He wants to speak into. And it has been so GOOD! I feel like I have a “superpower” to bless people around me by speaking to them exactly what they need to hear from Jesus! – Adrian Alvarez Online Campus ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8d47e6eca16566623dd7267d8b6eb4e7ae63b4152eb9dbb3b27c2e4967d75165?s=300&r=g) Encounter Ministries [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/vocare84/) **Categories:** Quarter 7: Advanced Ministry Training Classes --- ### [FEARLESS IN FRENCH](https://encounterschool.org/2022/03/25/fearless-in-french/) **Published:** March 25, 2022 **Author:** Encounter Ministries **Content:** \[emaillocker\]\[/emaillocker\] ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8d47e6eca16566623dd7267d8b6eb4e7ae63b4152eb9dbb3b27c2e4967d75165?s=300&r=g) Encounter Ministries [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/vocare84/) **Categories:** FEARLESS IN FRENCH --- ### [FEARLESS IN SPANISH](https://encounterschool.org/2022/03/21/fearless-in-spanish/) **Published:** March 21, 2022 **Author:** Encounter Ministries **Content:** \[emaillocker\]\[/emaillocker\] ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8d47e6eca16566623dd7267d8b6eb4e7ae63b4152eb9dbb3b27c2e4967d75165?s=300&r=g) Encounter Ministries [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/vocare84/) **Categories:** FEARLESS IN SPANISH --- ### [I did not want to be pushy, or labelled, or make people feel awkward](https://encounterschool.org/2021/11/16/i-did-not-want-to-be-pushy/) **Published:** November 16, 2021 **Author:** Encounter Ministries **Content:** My greatest transformation was in the courage, boldness and Holy Spirit power I now feel within me, to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Prior to Encounter School of Ministry, even with being a Religious Sister, I felt hesitant at times to share Jesus. I did not want to be pushy, or labelled, or make people feel awkward, etc. All the reasons (excuses) given to me by my ego and the evil one to keep back the Good News. I now actually feel the Spirit’s power within me that has cast out that fear. I have been commanded, called and anointed for that very purpose…to share Jesus Christ and his saving LOVE with others. But it first begins with me. And by opening myself to this experience, Abba has deepened His life within me, bringing me healing, deeper peace, and further uncovering my true self. I also know, through ESM, that this mission has come with the authority and resources to accomplish it. ( i.e. Matthew 28:18 & Luke 15:3) The Word of God spoken as well as the Word of God activated, through healings of body, mind and spirit, is what I now feel empowered and called to do! THIS is what God desires of us… how freeing, how awesome, how empowering. I have seen signs and wonders and miracles in this First Quarter – in myself and in others! Alleluia. It’s all true folks… it’s all true. “Come and See.” (John1:39 and 46) Sister Kathleen Rooney, SSJ – Kathleen Rooney, SSJ Online Campus ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8d47e6eca16566623dd7267d8b6eb4e7ae63b4152eb9dbb3b27c2e4967d75165?s=300&r=g) Encounter Ministries [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/vocare84/) **Categories:** Q1 - Identity and Transformation Testimonies --- ### [In God’s Perfect Time](https://encounterschool.org/2021/06/24/in-gods-perfect-time/) **Published:** June 24, 2021 **Author:** crmsengenberger@hotmail.com **Content:** I have learned so much through this whole year of the Encounter School of Ministry! It did take growing in my relationship with God and hearing His voice to be able to pursue more inner healing for myself. I believe that inner healing requires a deep faith and trust in God‘s love and power to heal. I also know that for me it was so helpful to have developed close relationships in Christ with the women in my small group during the Encounter zoom meetings. It took courage and trust for me to share the areas of my life where I needed inner healing and to ask two of the women to pray with me. I was greatly blessed! The generosity and love that extended to me through these two women could not have been greater. They listened as I shared the deep pains and wounds I carried. And then we prayed. God set me free! As we prayed through the Encounter inner healing model God freed me in many areas where I was in bondage. Yet, there was a deeper wound that I was not aware of! Yes, there was pain and tears as God revealed this and healed me. I am very grateful for His love for me and through these two women. Thank you Encounter School of Ministry for helping me get to that place! – Catherine Sengenberger Online Campus ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/406f80eabc19b533569ac49d9e5f3573a2aee9ff32a7e7cc5e443dac6687d094?s=300&r=g) crmsengenberger@hotmail.com [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/crmsengenbergerhotmail-com/) **Categories:** Q4 - Inner Healing and Freedom Testimonies --- ### [The Construction of My Kingdom Dream](https://encounterschool.org/2021/06/07/the-construction-of-my-kingdom-dream/) **Published:** June 7, 2021 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** This quarter was full of practical ways to grow spiritually. I learned that God gave me a dream for His Kingdom. I have a better understanding of how to bring together all that God has for us to see our Kingdom Dream become a reality and be fruitful for His Kingdom. In this quarter we ask God to reveal our Kingdom Dream. We learn how to bring together our vocation, our character and talents, community, sphere of influence and our Kingdom dream into focus. We begin a journey of mission with Jesus our King, Mary our Queen Mother and under the direction and movement of the Holy Spirit.

When we are praying over someone, they would get an image from God and then ask the person about it. In December 2020, I was discouraged due to my lack of “picture/vision” and was thinking of dropping out. Then I realized that if I dropped out I would not be in this great space of the Body of Christ where folks of all ages are worshiping the Lord. Slowly I was able to see some of my gifts of Understanding, Knowledge, and Counsel. I was able to help in the discernment process when praying over folks. Staying in my lane, taking what the Holy Spirit is presenting me. But asking for more. Always asking for more. – Tom Muthig Cincinnati Campus ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38a4a2298649b2f6568c0473cc13719f2102fded92873b6c94ff53a75518d6f3?s=300&r=g) 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/3summerfunsbcglobal-net/) **Categories:** Q4 - Inner Healing and Freedom Testimonies --- ### [God Keeps Challenging Me](https://encounterschool.org/2021/06/07/god-keeps-challenging-me/) **Published:** June 7, 2021 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** Personally I have been involved in many forms of inner healing, both on the giving and receiving end. I appreciated and benefited from each of the experiences, but the way the Encounter School blended them all together brought me to a new level in my personally healing and also how God is using me to help others. I do have to admit that this quarter was very challenging, because it brought me again face to face with myself. Part of me did not want to go to that place however another part of me knew that I had to. It was not until about a week after the quarter was over that I was revealed a wound of rejection that I know I battle with a lot, but want to deny it at times. It is funny because even acknowledging this and giving permission for God to continue His work in me, has brought me greater freedom. I am so grateful for this quarter and how God keeps challenging me to become holier and holier. Also, through this quarter I have come to discover a greater desire to help others to find freedom in Our Lord.

I have had extensive counseling, medication and faith healing but none allowed me to put in perspective the lies from childhood into early adulthood like this quarter did. I was raised in a broken family from the age of one. My dad left our family (mom, two siblings and me) for another family. This began my belief that I held no value. I grew up in a very patriarchal culture where women and children were not held in high regard. Two strikes against me. It doubled the lie, I held no value. My mom remarried when I was eight to an alcoholic. Our lives became very emotionally abusive and volatile. My mom, struggling her own lies, was not able to protect us. It became ingrained I held no value. This school in quarter one taught me of my identity which was so healing. But this quarter, enabled me to replace the lies I had come to believe with the truth that I am worthy. I am loved. I am cherished. It helped me piece together how these lies were not just repeated once but for a lifetime. I am so spiritually awakened and freed that I want to help others struggling the same brokenness find the love of Abba Father, His blessed Son and the Holy Spirit!! ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38a4a2298649b2f6568c0473cc13719f2102fded92873b6c94ff53a75518d6f3?s=300&r=g) 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/3summerfunsbcglobal-net/) **Categories:** Q4 - Inner Healing and Freedom Testimonies --- ### [Through prophetic declarations many of my patients in the hospitals were healed in Jesus Name.](https://encounterschool.org/2021/06/01/through-prophetic-declarations-many-of-my-patients-in-the-hospitals-were-healed-in-jesus-name/) **Published:** June 1, 2021 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** I am a priest chaplain in 9 hospitals in Downtown Toronto, Canada. I always pray with the sick and the dying. I see pain, suffering and death everyday in these hospitals. So also I see God’s healing power everyday and every time at these same hospitals when I pray and administer the sacrament of the Last rites for dying patients. Many patients were declared hopeless, and some were given hours and days to die, whiles others were given weeks and months. I have been in this ministry since my ordination in 1997. I have seen a lot and handled a lot of cases. With my first year of Encounter, I feel more empowered and fearless to pray aloud and declare prophetic messages on many OF MY PATIENTS. I am very glad to state that many who were declare hopeless were healed AND DISCHARGED FROM THE HOSPITAS TO GO HOME. Some DOCTORS AND NURSES ASKED ME, “What did you do and how did you do it?” I said I prayed and asked God to heal them and so they were healed. Parents could not believe what has happened. I told them just believe in God and know your identity in Christ and take the power and authority and exercise them. To God be the GLORY, Amen. – Fr.

Since the age of 13, I lived in a dark world of suicide, anger, depression, and severe anxiety. Forty years of professional help and medication was not enough to remove this burden. I was desperate and determined to get rid of this debilitating illness. I knew only God could help me. In the Fall of 2019, I entered the Encounter School. It was here I saw people healed emotionally, physically, and spiritually. As I developed a true relationship with God in this safe environment the veil of shame lifted, and I was able to open up my heart to Jesus as my Heavenly Father. I found my identity as a daughter of God. I never had one before. It was always another person. That His love permeates the heart and soul of every person who finds Him. With the help of Healing Prayer, a lot of personal hard work, and getting to know God, these burdens were slowly lifted. As I shared my pain with my classmates and some staff members (Sarah especially over two years), Jesus peeled away layer after layer of stored suicide, depression, anger, and severe anxiety. Through images, I would picture Jesus as my protector standing beside me in my safe bubble (Craig Miller-Breaking Emotional Barriers). Jesus is truly healing me. Through Him, I found freedom and peace I never knew before. Every day I give praise and glory to God most high who is alive and continues to heal His people. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8151c6e7806312407355316700aa26488d00b0d836ca5f96437428596003420d?s=300&r=g) Christine Doyle [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/chrisdoyle648gmail-com/) **Categories:** Q8 - Leadership and Deployment Testimonies --- ### [God Cares About Me](https://encounterschool.org/2021/06/01/god-cares-about-me/) **Published:** June 1, 2021 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** As I did the homework on healing memories, a very tiny memory came to my mind. During my hiking trip with my family when I was around 5, a green tree viper passed by my legs as I was walking in front of my family. I was so scared and cried. I thought inside of my heart, “why this memory.” There is no big deal about it. However, I followed the Holy Spirit and continued the healing memories process. I asked Jesus where he was when this happened to me. I felt Jesus was walking beside me. When I asked Jesus what lies I came to believe from this experience. From this experience, I came to believe that I am not safe. I am in a vulnerable place. I am weak. I can be devoured by the snake. He then gave me truths in exchange for these lies. He said I will not be devoured by the snake as He is bigger than the snake. It is ok to be vulnerable because I have Him by my side. He will take care of me. He will protect me. I am safe as He is walking alongside me. And then I have the words “I fear no evil for You are with me. They are the ones who should be trembling.” Afterward, I feel that Father God cares even a little tiny detail of mine. He wants me to be free from any tiny bondage. The image of Jesus walking beside me holding my hands is so strong and imprint deeply in my heart. I feel the green tree viper represents the enemy. I have nothing to fear as He is with me. Through this experience, I learned the beauty of surrender to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. – Flavia Fung Online Campus ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38a4a2298649b2f6568c0473cc13719f2102fded92873b6c94ff53a75518d6f3?s=300&r=g) 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/3summerfunsbcglobal-net/) **Categories:** Q4 - Inner Healing and Freedom Testimonies --- ### [Healing of Cancer](https://encounterschool.org/2020/04/20/healing-of-cancer/) **Published:** April 20, 2020 **Author:** Cynthia Wishart **Content:** At a healing Mass, recently, one woman came requesting prayer for a dear friend whose cancer had returned and she was leaning towards not seeking treatment because it was an aggressive form. We prayed for her. A week later, Father received an email from the woman we prayed over stating her friend went to have additional tests the day after we prayed. The doctors found almost no trace of cancer anywhere in her body. Praise Jesus! We asked God for more healing for her and trust in his Divine, merciful love to finish the healing.

I had 2 or 3 come to mind. When we entered into prayer those 2 or 3 came up but so had a 5 or 6 more that I had not thought of. The Lord was so loving, gentle, and thorough with me. During prayer to break each soul tie I felt a weight lifted off and my body shuddered. By the end of the prayer session I felt so light and free! Thank you, Jesus! Afterwards, I felt the enemy trying to reestablish some of those soul ties, but through the tools I learned in this semester I was able to ward off those lies and declare the truth! – Nicholas Herman Online Campus ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38a4a2298649b2f6568c0473cc13719f2102fded92873b6c94ff53a75518d6f3?s=300&r=g) 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/3summerfunsbcglobal-net/) **Categories:** Q4 - Inner Healing and Freedom Testimonies --- ### [Q4.

I didn’t know him at all, but his old campus minister told him to text me and meet up. We did and the conversation started about his bible study, but it was very surface level. We moved into me talking to him about hearing God’s voice and we prayed with one another and asked God the question, “who do you say that I am?”. As we both prayed, I got the sense I should pray for him. When I asked if he heard God tell him anything, he told me not really and went on to explain what Jesus could have told him. I shared that when we prayed I saw an image of God the father holding him as an infant and that I heard the words, “I got you”. Even though this image was super generic and I felt like it could apply to anyone, I shared it. After sharing it I looked into his eyes and saw that he had started to cry. We were able to pray together and our whole conversation took a huge turn. He shared how his girlfriend was struggling with depression and he felt trapped, as well that he wasn’t yet sure if sleeping with his girlfriend was wrong. I was able to share the gospel and how I think the Holy Spirit has already convinced him of his sin. Deep down he knew. It was a beautiful encounter and we ended by thanking Jesus for meeting us for showing up, even at the bar! – Braxton Callen Online Campus ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/498bdb2649862d9a695d67c0b7f9cba060cb3b101faa929de8ec1088f72b2382?s=300&r=g) braxtoncallen@familymissionscompany.com [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/braxtoncallenfamilymissionscompany-com/) **Categories:** Q3 - Hearing God and the Prophetic Gifts Testimonies --- ### [Prophetic Gifts in the Confessional](https://encounterschool.org/2021/04/16/prophetic-gifts-in-the-confessional/) **Published:** April 16, 2021 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** The “Hearing God and Prophetic Gifts” launched my role as a confessor into a new level of being able to hear the Father’s voice speaking to the heart of His child as they confessed their sins. I have had images during confession in the past but none as powerfully healing as they have been since this lesson and the practicum that came with it.

I have heard, felt seen and known things but was very careful who I shared things with so as not to be judged. The church is where I felt most uncomfortable trying to gain insight or understanding of what I could be experiencing. The Encounter School not only explained receiving Prophetic knowledge, words and wisdom but encouraged us to pray for it above everything!! Not only are my past experiences explained and validated but I’m encouraged to grow and ask for more! I never understood the purpose of receiving words but have learned God wants to partner with me to reach others and above all make them aware of His love and desire for them to encounter Him very personally! He wants this more than I do! The school gave me permission to be open like never before and trust in the Holy Spirit because I now know it’s a gift to be used for the benefit of others and I no longer need to privately keep to myself.

I’ve been praying passionately for a healing of my brother’s dementia. Since I’ve begun dreaming the possibility, I’ve noticed slight improvements in his memory and even the questions he’s asking. Even more dramatic: Two of his five children who were minimal in their prayer life, have joined me in praying daily for a miracle over their father’s illness! My brother’s suffering is, indeed, drawing his children closer to Jesus in prayer. A miracle? Absolutely! And proof that a parent’s love and hope and care for their children never ceases, on earth of in heaven. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for empowering us with Kingdom Dreams and Supernatural Service. – Joellen Conrardy Main Campus (Brighton) ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38a4a2298649b2f6568c0473cc13719f2102fded92873b6c94ff53a75518d6f3?s=300&r=g) 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/3summerfunsbcglobal-net/) **Categories:** Q7 - Advanced Ministry Training Testimonies --- ### [A Stepping Stone!](https://encounterschool.org/2021/04/16/a-stepping-stone/) **Published:** April 16, 2021 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** This quarter was like a stepping stone in progressing in hearing the Holy Spirit and feeling Him more and more in my heart, my mind, my whole being. It’s a wonderful sensation where you feel transported and seated next to the Father in this beautiful place he prepared for me. I feel like a rocket that is propelled in the sky, and I am this rocket that God wants to propel in the world around me, starting with my surroundings (family, parish, neighbors, people I meet in any public space). Before, I was more scared to pray for people for healing, now I am more comfortable to do it and to take risks to do it. I surprise myself. That was my first transformation. The second transformation is this new strength I feel now, instead of helplessness. I went through some very tough moments in my family through the mental sickness of my daughter. So many times, I felt falling down, lost, and this quarter gave me the energy to stand up again and to fight those feelings, to fight like a lion, gain the territory, like a true fighter, like the daughter of a King, King Jesus. I would like to add that God gave me this amazing grace of His Joy in my heart and with this joy I stand firm and stay rooted in the Love of Jesus, my ONLY KING.

The young lady working at the deli was limping badly. I asked if she would like prayer for healing. She said “yes” and I prayed for her in the name of Jesus. She claimed she felt better but she was still limping. She said that she suffered from gout and that it was very painful. After we finished praying she was still in some pain. The next day, I went to collect the cake. She was there to give it to me. When she saw me, she loudly praised God and exclaimed that she woke up in the morning completely better. She said that she had never had a flare-up end so quickly, and that it normally took 3 weeks to go away completely. She said she had been telling her co-workers about it all morning.

I have experienced the most beautiful joy in simply lifting up and giving blessings to others and all the more with praying over others for physical and inner healing and to experience Jesus’ presence. I have found that Jesus has an amazing sense of humor and smiles so beautifully at us accepting our attempts of ministering to others with our successes and mistakes and loving us just as we are.

I felt very built up and drew closer to God through accepting on a deeper level my identity as a son of God and the authority given to us by Christ. The activations and practical exercises in class have transformed how I pray with other people. At the beginning I was very hesitant to say what was coming to my mind and not trusting God to reveal what He desired to speak through me by using my imagination and thought prompts. Now I trust that God does speak to me, and others through me using my intellect, imagination, and all aspects of my senses. A great example of this was when we had future satellite campus leaders on retreat here in Cincinnati and I stayed after class to be prayed over by them. That was a beautiful experience of being built up through prophecy of how God desires to use me to work powerfully in peoples lives and to be a weapon for God. They ended up asking me to come and pray for one of the people in the group that prayed over me, so I joined them. We started with some prophetic words meant to build up the deacon we were praying over , but then he said that he was having a lot of difficulty accepting the words we were speaking into his life. Someone led him through a deliverance prayer and we learned he struggled with PTSD and a lack of self-forgiveness, in part for the men he lost during his time in the Army. I started seeing four men in army uniforms as I was praying over him and got a sense they might be the men he had spoken of to us. I was very nervous, not wanting to say anything that was not from God as it was a very sensitive situation so I prayed asking God to help me know if this was from Him, or myself. I got a sense that I was seeing three black men and a white man. Then God connected a word I had spoken to the deacon when we first started praying over him. I saw a military medal of honor and then I saw four military medals coming from the North, East, South, and West converging on the deacon and I felt inspired to tell him that these medals represented grace and blessings being poured out on him from heaven. God showed me that those medals represented the prayers and blessings of these men looking down on their former brother in arms. Having affirmation, I stepped out in faith and told him that I saw these four men, telling their skin color, and proclaiming that they were smiling down on him, showering him with graces and blessings from heaven. As I was speaking, the deacon broke down and was very moved by what I said. We kept praying over him and he seemed to have more peace, though still struggling with self-forgiveness. After we finished, he hugged me and said, “You got it exactly right.” I was in awe at how God used me and was so thankful that I was able to bless the deacon through submission and listening to God’s voice. Praised to Jesus Christ! Stepping out and getting practice throughout the quarter praying with people, I was better able to see and hear what God was asking me to speak into peoples lives and it has been a game changer!

I thought and hoped that I would be growing closer to the Holy Spirit, but I had no idea it would be as much as I did. One of the most powerful classes for me was when I learned about my inheritance as a son of God. I had known and believed that I was his son, but I didn’t know that he wanted to give me whole nations! For a long time I had a false mindset that because of my past sins God wouldn’t want to use me in poweful ways. Those lies were shattered one class when during an activation I recieved a vision from the Lord and he told me how much he loved me and wanted to use me to bring people to him through signs and wonders. The class on declarations was also really powerful for me. I had been doing the homework to read my 10 declarations out loud every day for a week, but hadn’t really got much out of it. I believed the words but I wasn’t being transformed by them. One day I went into town with some of my fellow missionaries and we were praying with people. I saw a woman with a cast on her foot and approached her to ask if she would mind me praying with her. Before I was able to even ask if she wanted prayers she said,“Not interested,” and I was very discouraged. The devil started attacking me with a lot of lies and I knew they were lies, but I was still listening to them. When I got back home I was a little sad. Then I went into my room and started reading my declarations out loud. When I finished I immediately felt joy and peace. I was no longer discouraged, but encouraged by the truth the Lord had spoken to me that I was speaking over myself. These are just two of many examples of the amazing ways the Lord worked through my life during the first quarter of Encounter. – Drew Labbe Louisiana Campus # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38a4a2298649b2f6568c0473cc13719f2102fded92873b6c94ff53a75518d6f3?s=300&r=g) 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/3summerfunsbcglobal-net/) **Categories:** Q1 - Identity and Transformation Testimonies --- ### [Moving Mountains Formed In Childhood](https://encounterschool.org/2020/12/17/moving-mountains-formed-in-childhood/) **Published:** December 17, 2020 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** On one of the homework assignments, I was supposed to reach out to a friend or family member. Days later, praying before Mass, I asked “God, who is it?” I surprised myself when I mouthed “Kim.” I said, “God, really? My older sister? We haven’t shared faith EVER, and we only talk when the family gets together for the holidays!” As the week filled up, I had one chance the night before class. I reached out to see if she wanted to have a video call chat, and she very warmly accepted. Minutes prior to the call I asked God if there was anything he wanted me to say, or if there was any words or images He could share with me. I had one vague image, and then my memory was stirred up of a myriad of times that I had had powerful encounters with the Father’s love through a memory that had some connection to my sister–a place where we’d hide together, a traumatic event of an animal passing, the struggles of entering adolescence. I’d never shared these with her. When I entered faith, I began leaving former ways that weren’t God-centered, which included most relationships, like that with my sister. As I shared with her a bit of my journey, I could see that HOW I was speaking was being received. It was as if our sibling eyes were formed together to see things a certain way in the past, but in my journey, I had inherited this incredible set of glasses that allowed me to see with clarity into things of God. In our conversation, I felt like I was saying to her “Here! Try these on!” And she saw it too. I shared with her how I’d discovered dysfunction from our past, and confessed shameful things that i’d cooperated in, asking her forgiveness. She in turn forgave and disclosed things she’d never shared of her own struggles in upbringing. I prayed with her for the first time in my life, and shared the image I had. She confirmed the image as something that resounded with her, and responded, “That was awesome!” I could share so many highlights of this first quarter, but even if I only had one, this one was mountain moving. My childhood best friend knows that Jesus is alive and accessible. She has a voice to call out dysfunction and invite healing and blessing. This simple homework assignment, framed by the incredible teachings and activations, healed a core part of me, and shattered many layers of fear built from an early age. I’m so grateful and keep echoing “More, Lord!” – Kevin Monette Seattle Campus # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38a4a2298649b2f6568c0473cc13719f2102fded92873b6c94ff53a75518d6f3?s=300&r=g) 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/3summerfunsbcglobal-net/) **Categories:** Q1 - Identity and Transformation Testimonies --- ### [Getting Comfortable with Prophecy](https://encounterschool.org/2021/01/14/getting-comfortable-with-prophecy/) **Published:** January 14, 2021 **Author:** Encounter Ministries **Content:** Previous to my experience in the Encounter School of Ministry, I had looked on prophetic ministry as somewhat of an intrusion on the secret place inside each person where the Lord is at work 24-7. I have come to understand this ministry better after the Quarter on Intimacy with God. As a disciple of Jesus I am given access to the Heart of the Father for those whose lives He places in my path so that my brothers and sisters may discover and/or be fortified in the conviction of the Presence of Jesus already at work in their life through a powerful word of knowledge that disposes the person to acknowledge His invitation to come nearer for a deeper relationship with Him. Jesus is assuring me that the more I persevere in pointing towards Himself, I can let go of the fear of those with whom I minister forming an unhealthy attachment to me. I am comforted by the peoples’ response in the story of the Samaritan woman, ““We no longer believe because of your word; for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the savior of the world.” – Shelly Schwartz Cincinnati Campus # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8d47e6eca16566623dd7267d8b6eb4e7ae63b4152eb9dbb3b27c2e4967d75165?s=300&r=g) Encounter Ministries [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/vocare84/) **Categories:** Q6 - Intimacy with God Testimonies --- ### [Q1.

Romans 10:17, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Chantelle and Ben are continually reminding us that Jesus has commissioned us to do the works that He did and to do greater works. They continually remind us of the gospel readings and the great commission of Jesus Christ to “heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.” (Matthew 10:8) This has encouraged me to again lay hands on the sick. My good friend was diagnosed with sudden hearing loss and was put on steroids. The Audiologist told her that if the steroids did not work that she would have to have a shot in her eardrum. The steroids didn’t work and she was scheduled for the shot. I was compelled to pray with her. Using what I learned through Encounter School of Ministry, I prayed with my friend at 11:00 am. Her appointment with the audiologist was at 3:00 pm. After receiving the results from the audiology test, at 3:58 pm, my friend texted me, “She said my hearing is back to NORMAL!” And from the Audiologist, “No shot. He said it’s getting better!” Her response to me, “THANK YOU FOR PRAYING WITH AND FOR ME! God uses your presence to bring healing! He DOES!” And of course, my response to her was, “THANK YOU JESUS! PRAISE GOD!” I am SO BLESSED to be part of a “move of God” through Encounter School of Ministry! I am believing for God to do miracles in my own life and I am SO grateful to have like-minded people who can encourage me to continue to believe for the impossible! “For with God NOTHING is impossible!” Luke 1:37.

It was amazing to see what God would do. It was very encouraging to see people be healed, feel loved, experience joy, and more. My faith in healing began to blossom even more. Also, by reading the book that was assigned that quarter, “Healing” by Dr. Mary Healy, it reminded me about how often Jesus and His apostles healed. That healing was not just for long ago. We also have the same power to heal in our era. I then began to experience words of knowledge. I learned to listen more deeply to God’s voice and the message He has for others. Sharing this message to others and they confirm and/or receptive of it, was amazing. I experienced physical healings, peace, love, and joy fill their hearts which in turn touched my heart. I truly felt like a messenger for Christ. I can’t even begin to explain how rewarding that was for me. Witnessing healings, praying for people, receiving healings, listening to powerful talks, and bonding with fellow Encounter Ministries students was extremely powerful and beneficial. It renewed my faith and ignited the spiritual gifts inside of me in an abundant way. I now find myself praying more, looking for opportunities to bring God’s love and healing to others, and keeping the Lord in my presence more than ever. Even during the trials, I am relying more on Him than what I was already doing.

Mathias speaking on faith for one of the lessons, Fr. Mathias told his audience that if anyone had any of the conditions he mentioned to stand up. Well, he had mentioned scoliosis which I happened to have, so although I was alone in our office at home at the time, I stood up. Fr. Mathias proceeded to pray for healing for all those standing. Well, I was not healed of scoliosis, but I was healed from a condition that I had had for about four months in which I had a constant feeling of pins and needles in my fingertips on both hands and pins and needles on my lips. I had also lost my sense of taste and I felt like I had third-degree burns inside my mouth. I had gotten to the point where I simply felt like screaming and had told God I simply couldn’t stand it anymore and had begged Him to be healed. Praise God!

Before the 2nd quarter, I was more content just doing prayer ministry or prayer ministry on steroids! I was so excited about hearing God that healing seemed like something I could lean into or not and that was okay. Now I believe God has given me a charge to pray for all who are sick. I went through a period of thinking that healing really would not work with me, and then I realized that those thoughts or feelings were from the devil and that they were an indication that I was going to be praying for the sick and seeing results. The Lord gave me these thoughts in prayer. I also received two almost identical passages in a row about the leper being healed in two of the Gospels. To date, I’ve had the following positive results. -Prayed over a friend with depression with another brother. The Lord indicated to me that it was evil spirits. We cast them out and the depression left him instantly. Over lunch months later my friend is depression free and daily rebukes the same spirits as part of his daily prayer time. -Prayed over a man with another brother for healing in his shoulder and hip and he was instantly healed. -Prayed over a woman with insomnia for two years a few months ago and she has been sleeping well since the first night that I prayed over her. -Prayed with a woman with my wife for PTSD from her husband dying and she went from almost total debilitation to actively pressing into God with 80% of her PTSD symptoms gone. -Prayed over my granddaughter for a migraine headache that went away in the next 20-30 minutes. -Patrick Reis’s daughter prayed over me at The Kids Track (Encounter 2020) for my TMJ and it was 70% healed. -2 of the kids in my small group were healed of leg pain. – Bob Bartholomay Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38a4a2298649b2f6568c0473cc13719f2102fded92873b6c94ff53a75518d6f3?s=300&r=g) 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/3summerfunsbcglobal-net/) **Categories:** Q2 - Power and Healing Testimonies --- ### [Faith to Heal](https://encounterschool.org/2020/08/28/faith-to-heal/) **Published:** August 28, 2020 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** God wants to use you to heal people. All over the New Testament are stories of Jesus healing people, and the disciples healing people in His name. The idea that God wants to use me to heal people has been one of the harder things for me to understand, even though I knew it was possible. Jim Baker informed us that the only hindrance to healing ministry is us believing that there is a hindrance. Having opportunities to pray for healing, and witnessing it, was such a gift. He wants to use me to heal people. He wants to use you to do the same.

Something I’ve learned is His great love for me and that he wants me to love with his heart not my own. So when someone asks for prayer my heart is asking him “Father what is your heart for this person?” “Abba, give me your eyes to see!” And he has been. One day I prayed over someone who has hurt me recently and our relationship has been a little passive-aggressive but the father showed me his love for me and that broke through my heart for her. As I prayed for her I was just so amazed because I was ministering out of a place of love beyond my view of things. Then I’m praying over others for healing I just trust the Father is doing good things! I trust he wants to heal through me and he wants me to step out, but there are rules from Encounter that make it so simple and take a lot off of my back. I feel called but not pressured.

Upon returning from the Encounter Conference, my husband and I went to the hospital to pray with friends of a family member. He has brain cancer and has been struggling for two years with chemo treatment. When we arrived at his room, he was slumped over and couldn’t move his right side. He was also bothered by a rash from the chemo treatment. After praying with him and sharing God’s enormous love and mercy for him, he was able to stand up. The next day we received this message from his wife: Paul as had an amazing day of progress… and walked with the therapist and went up one step.. he is standing on his own and using the regular bathroom.

In this second quarter on healing, I learned that within my Intimate relationship with the Divine (Father, Son, and H.S.), I am called to follow in Jesus’ footsteps, based on His commission to bring the kingdom of heaven here to earth! I must confess, I did not know that proclaiming the kingdom, evangelizing was always meant to be done with WORD and DEED! As a cradle Catholic, not aware of the True gift of God’s H.S., Alive within me, I was not aware of God’s active presence in this world today, let alone that God has been increasingly demonstrating His Presence by once again using healings/miracles to confirm in Faith, those He is calling back to Himself. This school has utilized a wealth of Scripture and church teaching also, such as St Thomas Aquinas who said that both the grace of the Word and grace of miracles are necessary to call people to faith, and to confirm them in true Faith!

Before the quarter God was moving in me slowly and steadily but through this quarter it felt like God placed me in a catapult and launched into spiritual growth! First-class, I loved how it began with the core value because right away I knew that is where my starting point was to begin on this journey of identity and transformation. I struggled with Intimacy with God even though it had not occurred to me before that moment. I didn’t know God intimately or how intimately God looked at me. This first quarter started the journey that showed me who I was in his eyes and who He was in mine. One of the most impactful moments was the first-night activation when we had to see ourselves in the Kingdom. It was so beautiful, I was in a forest and it was so peaceful. My dress was the most amazing shade of teal and I had a crown of yellow roses. The out of the blue a large lion shows up and we begin to play together. I ride on his back and we run as fast as the wind through the forest together laughing so hard. I thought this was amazing- how I looked so beautiful and royal and how I could run and play, something I have not been able to do for years due to a back injury. There in the Kingdom the impossible for me was possible and it as thrilling and joyful and I was so free and happy. I had to be honest and face the way I saw God. I was living out of the orphan spirit. I felt like I was a slave not a friend of God. I loved him but was afraid of him too. Every week in class God would break down another wall in my life speak truth into my heart of how much he loved me, who I was, and that there is a multitude of heavenly treasures that I had access to. I woke up from the old way of thinking to a renewal of the mind that I am God-beloved daughter not just in my mind but in my heart and that there is always more for me. So beautiful how this first quarter is transforming me and my family. – Sharon Koss Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38a4a2298649b2f6568c0473cc13719f2102fded92873b6c94ff53a75518d6f3?s=300&r=g) 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/3summerfunsbcglobal-net/) **Categories:** Q1 - Identity and Transformation Testimonies --- ### [Being who God Wants Me to Be](https://encounterschool.org/2020/08/27/being-who-god-wants-me-to-be/) **Published:** August 27, 2020 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** 1\. My identity is now clearer than it has ever been: I am the daughter of the King! My role as a daughter gives me access to my Father’s power and authority. 2. I can act and pray (!) with that authority; where before I mostly asked/ petitioned, now I know can command in Jesus’ name. 3. My daily affirmations remind me of my identity; my favorite is: The Father delights in me as His daughter, Jesus delights in me as a lover, and the Spirit delights in me as a maker and creator. 4. A stronghold of the mind has been broken: If I do a hard thing well it must be “better”. As a result, I must be “better” or “more worthy”. I don’t have to DO more, BE more productive, or BE more perfect to earn God’s love and mercy. It is a gift! 5. After walking in the Spirit for 50 years, I can authentically say that I am at peace with who I am in the Lord. I am healthy and consistently joyful. Why? Because, as far as I know, I’m right where God wants me to be. Being in the Encounter School has confirmed this for me. – Claudia Burns Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38a4a2298649b2f6568c0473cc13719f2102fded92873b6c94ff53a75518d6f3?s=300&r=g) 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/3summerfunsbcglobal-net/) **Categories:** Q1 - Identity and Transformation Testimonies --- ### [Truly Letting Go and Letting God](https://encounterschool.org/2020/08/28/truly-letting-go-and-letting-god/) **Published:** August 28, 2020 **Author:** Christine Doyle **Content:** In the Fall of 2019, after an in-class Activation, I saw an image of an enormous golden lock and a key that Jesus was trying to unlock, but couldn’t. My heart was crying out to open this. I made an appointment with Sarah Kaczmarek and she guided me through a beautiful imagery healing session. I had images of Jesus getting closer to me, releasing my fear of getting close to others. As the lock was opened, I was able to allow Jesus to look into my heart, expose all of the pain, hurt, and release all the garbage that I’ve held inside all these years. Sarah guided me to acknowledge that I wanted Jesus there and allow Him to be close to my heart. A week later during a class Activation, I saw Jesus bleeding Sacred Heart in front of a red velvet curtain. The next day I asked Him what this meant. I saw His bleeding Sacred Heart move from the Tabernacle and He gently put it in my chest near my heart. I am learning what REAL love feels like. As I continue Encounter classes and Activations I am growing wanting to share this love and caring with others through Healing and being an Intercessor through prayer and any other way He may show me. I know this freedom is from Jesus because no one has been able to help me thus far. – Chris Doyle Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8151c6e7806312407355316700aa26488d00b0d836ca5f96437428596003420d?s=300&r=g) Christine Doyle [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/chrisdoyle648gmail-com/) **Categories:** Q1 - Identity and Transformation Testimonies --- ### [Ministry Will Not Fulfill You](https://encounterschool.org/2020/08/28/ministry-will-not-fulfill-you/) **Published:** August 28, 2020 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** “Ministry will not fulfill you.” When I heard those words on my very first night at the Encounter School, it was like a punch to the gut. That sentence was quickly followed up with, “Only a relationship with Jesus can do that.” The past several weeks for me had been such a challenge. I had been so frustrated with myself and my inability to live out my life on mission as fully as I desired to, and it caused me to struggle with receiving God’s love. I felt like I needed to do something-pray with people on the street, serve in certain ways, live a life of joy-before I could receive from Him. Because I didn’t feel like I was worthy of God’s love or fulfilled unless I was living out mission in concrete ways. When those two sentences were spoken, I realized how deeply rooted my identity was in pride and ministry, and not in Jesus and His love for me. The first quarter involved a lot of digging up deep roots of my identity being in what I do so that they could be transplanted into Jesus’ heart and I could be reminded of who I am in Him. It’s still a daily process of surrender, trust, and humility, that is a huge challenge because so much of me just wants to DO things for God so I can feel like I’m in some way doing something for Him. But I so often need to be reminded that He just wants me, and He is more than enough to fulfill me if I allow Him to. – Meghan Campbell Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38a4a2298649b2f6568c0473cc13719f2102fded92873b6c94ff53a75518d6f3?s=300&r=g) 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/3summerfunsbcglobal-net/) **Categories:** Q1 - Identity and Transformation Testimonies --- ### [Hearing God is the Doorway to God's Manifest Presence and the Power of His Holy Spirit.](https://encounterschool.org/2020/08/28/hearing-god-is-the-doorway-to-gods-manifest-presence-and-the-power-of-his-holy-spirit/) **Published:** August 28, 2020 **Author:** Bob Bartholomay **Content:** During the first quarter, I experienced a 100% focus/anointing/ability to stay in God’s presence in prophetic worship for ~15 nights in a row for 30 to 45 minutes after I went to bed. On two of the nights, God indicated that he was breaking different strongholds. The first was a form of base lust related to an evil spirit of lust. The second one was him indicating what my wife calls, “you think you’re always right”. God said he was in the process of removing it and that I should ask my wife to pray over me for the removal of it the next morning, which I did. My life has changed dramatically in that I am almost completely free of the two aforementioned strongholds or tendencies. It was also during the first quarter that God showed me that I could sit with him in fellowship during prophetic worship easily and fully in a way that I never had experienced before. During these times he would encourage me personally by indicating that he liked being with me too, or by giving me things to pray for then encouraging me as I boldly interceded for the people or organizations that the wanted me to pray for. It was like he was cheering me on with great enthusiasm to be a prayer warrior. – Bob Bartholomay Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4856c4ebb3f636004db8243221aa4bf6d66fafc66e19bb633d5b117ae0446717?s=300&r=g) Bob Bartholomay [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/robertlbartholomaygmail-com/) **Categories:** Q1 - Identity and Transformation Testimonies --- ### [My Brother Was Dying & Healed Through Declaration](https://encounterschool.org/2020/11/27/my-brother-was-dying-healed-through-declaration/) **Published:** November 27, 2020 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** My eldest brother Simeon was very sick along with another brother. He could barely speak, but a voice message from his bedside in Ghana depicted that he knew it was over for him. My other siblings and extended family had lost hope. I asked friends from the Encounter School of Ministry to help me pray for my brothers. One morning, I asked to have a video chat with my brother, so he could hear me pray over him. I then asked my siblings to place their hands upon him as he lay in bed. Then I prayed and declared God’s healing power upon him, and commanded him to be healed right now in the name of Jesus Christ Of Nazareth. Halleluiah! Praise the Lord! Immediately, he started sweating. For the first time in weeks he got up on the bed without any assistance, and everybody started praising Jesus! He is doing very well now, in Jesus Name.

I am a child of God, and an heir to the Kingdom of Heaven, which makes me a Prince of the Kingdom of God! That’s some cool stuff! What is even more amazing is that I am a real disciple of Jesus, only in the 21st century. When He said “and you will do greater things than these” He meant it, that was His command and that is now my mission in life, and my identity, a real-life disciple of Jesus. For the first time in my life, every twist and turn, I now realize, has pointed me to here and now, stepping into my full-time role as a disciple of Christ, healer and miracle worker all for the Glory of God the Father! I may have a “regular job” by day, but at night (and actually during the day too) I am a superhero bringing Jesus Christ and His love to those He puts in my path! Some are healed, some are not, but I am stepping into my identity and am “stepping up to the plate” and swinging for the fences for Team Jesus! I now realize I work for Jesus full time, and I am always on the clock as His disciple. St. Catherine of Sienna said, “Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire”….

I have found that I’m not alone. I have found other brothers and sisters who want to worship in the Holy Spirit, believe in healings, and who are excited to know and love and spread the message of Christ’s joy and healing. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for this program. I cannot put into words the joy, the gratitude and excitement I now have because of Encounter Ministries. It has given me my life back and brought me back home to the life in the Spirit and the potential of my own healing and the healing of others. “Thank you” is limited in expressing my gratitude. The best I can do is to pay it forward to those in my life, and to invest my knowledge in a ministry so that others may receive the fruit of love, motivation and energy, just as I have.

The Lord reminded me of people I haven’t seen in a while and I contacted a lady that had abruptly loss her husband to cancer 6 weeks earlier. I was able to bring her the Holy Eucharist, pray for her, and listened to stories of her last days with her husband in the hospital. She shared we me some ways to Lord was moving in the situation.

My biggest struggle is remaining in God’s grace in the midst of struggles and difficulties. I easily turn to self-reliance and don’t rely fully on God. Throughout this quarter, this class gave me constant reminders to find renewal in the midst of ministry. I certainly wasn’t perfect at turning back as quickly as I could, but every time I did, I found refreshment, peace, and joy. I had a powerful experience with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, which led to a great renewal of heart and helps me trust the Lord more. I find myself being more bold in prayer for others and more confident in God’s grace as I serve as a priest. I look forward to continuing to build upon this foundation more and more! – Fr.

This year, I prayed with a lady who had ankle strain with pain. She was healed by the time she got home! We have been praying with two women; both survivors of child abuse with different outcomes of woundedness. With much prayer and sharing, both are being healed and growing in faith. Halleluiah! Today, one told me that prayer with her and an email I sent was what she needed to let go of her pain, hurt, and temptations so she could sense God in her life again. More healing is needed for both, just as we receive more from God. The Encounter teachings are helping me grow in hearing God, His guidance, and providing the power to act on it. It is giving me the joy of sharing His open Heaven to help establish His Kingdom on Earth!

We were given a week to ask the Lord for whom should we pray for by proclaiming upon them the presence of God. All week I kept asking the Lord to show me someone but to no avail so I decided to pray for my wife, asking the Lord to fill her with his presence as we were instructed. Three days after that prayer, I was awakened by a loud of voice of excitement. My wife was speaking loudly on the phone with her younger sister telling her a revelation she got as she read the first chapter of Ephesians. She was so excited that when she hung up the phone, she came to me unleashing her exciting revelation about our position in Christ, the riches of God available to us, etc. In our 7 years of marriage, I have never seen my wife react this way about any biblical text. The first and only time I saw her excited about anything spiritual was when she understood the meaning of the Eucharist (through Christian apologetic) and that was 3 years ago. It took me couple of days to realize that her eureka moment came after I prayed for her to be filled with God’s presence as we were instructed at Encounter School of Ministry.

I have been on both sides of the inner healing prayer. It is ALWAYS an honor and blessing to witness God at work especially during such a time as this. I feel God used this quarter to teach me more about myself-strengths and weaknesses. I have become more aware of my identity as His beloved. He continues to clear away the obstacles that separate me from Him and others.

During Mass, the Lord told me “shoulders, arms, shoulders..” Re: a woman I was sitting behind. I thought of Jim’s chicken line and whether I was going to cross it? Just three weeks prior the man in the same seat at this church had upper arm troubles and I had approached him and he accepted prayer. Is this left over arm/shoulder memories from then? Would this woman think I’m crazy?. Well – the Lord set it up! For some reason after mass, she walked right past my row (the exit doors were the opposite way) and I asked her if she had any issues with her shoulders and then asked if I could pray for her. She looked surprised and said “yes, yes.” and went on to ask me how I knew about her shoulders. I suggested stepping into the cry room and invited a friend of mine (to pray with us) who knew her as well. Determining a pain level in her right shoulder was not possible as she said she had to do a repeated motion (reach up) for 5 minutes to make the pain begin. She said that the pain had been going on for 9 and a half years. When I asked what happened 9 1/2 years ago she said she’d gone through a procedure and help it feel better and it continued bothering her. She blamed high school/college sports (golf/tennis) career and running track. She also attributed the pain to hanging chemo for many years (chemo nurse) and other nursing tasks had taken a toll on her and her shoulder in particular. We began the prayer and as I stood behind her, I could feel her shoulders kind of flapping like a bird. I sat in front of her and mentioned this and asked her to gently flap her arms. She said she felt warm and relaxed and was crying almost the entire time. It seemed that God was at work so we continued. The second time I stood behind her to pray I saw people rowing. She had not mentioned rowing! TAKE A RISK, ANNE. I sat in front of her and told her what I saw. She continued to cry sharing that all 3 of her boys were on the crew team and that her husband was the president of the crew council. I shared that sometimes a lack of forgiveness can block physical healing and asked about any hurts that her boys or she or her husband had suffered related to rowing. No, but….”my best friend from the team (fellow Mom) 19-year-old son who was also a rower was killed in a MoPed accident 1 month ago.” She went on to share her helplessness in being able to help her friend through this trauma. We prayed for the boy’s soul and his family and the young man who was driving the vehicle that hit him. Although the accident report is in progress, she forgave the driver of the vehicle. The whole time together was one of grace and love. Thank you, Lord, for your grace and for providing boldness and wisdom. – Anne Harman Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cfe1206d7ac366a34a74ebf4112d98924661ed9148158999b22a7c16a72f5ea3?s=300&r=g) Anne Harman [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/anneharman106gmail-com/) **Categories:** Q6 - Intimacy with God Testimonies --- ### [No More Doom and Gloom!](https://encounterschool.org/2020/08/28/no-more-doom-and-gloom/) **Published:** August 28, 2020 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** I have been so transformed by the teaching of the Encounter School. It has completely changed the way I view the world. Instead of focusing on all that is wrong, I have learned to put my focus on God and what He is doing. The more I do this the more I see Him acting in powerful ways and the more hope I have for the future of the Church and the world. My Hope has greatly increased!

The school has given me the tools and confidence to boldly team up with the Holy Spirit to have encounters with family, friends, and strangers in which the message of Jesus is shared. With the help of the supernatural actions of the Holy Spirit, ears are opened, eyes see differently, and old paradigms are challenged. All in a loving way. When God touches someone personally it gets their attention. And incidentally, every time Jesus acts through me I feel His presence drawing closer and closer and I am happier than I have ever been. Thank you, Encounter Ministries. – Vernon Thelen Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38a4a2298649b2f6568c0473cc13719f2102fded92873b6c94ff53a75518d6f3?s=300&r=g) 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/3summerfunsbcglobal-net/) **Categories:** Q1 - Identity and Transformation Testimonies --- ### [Who am I?](https://encounterschool.org/2020/08/28/who-am-i/) **Published:** August 28, 2020 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** As I listened to the talks and participated in the activations in Quarter 1 on Identity and Renewal of the Mind, I became more solidly rooted in my identity as a beloved daughter of the Father. I had been experiencing growth in my identity for the last 5 years or so, but this quarter helped to deepen and solidify this growth even more. What helped to accomplish this was the Scriptural references given in the talks and the activations. During one of the first night’s activations, we were supposed to picture Jesus at the door of our hearts and let Him come into our house/heart. I opened the door and there stood Jesus. As I let Him in, I saw a picture of Him as a large male lion sitting down and I was a lioness sitting next to Him. He spoke into my heart–“you are my lioness, fighting for other’s freedom.” (I lead unbound deliverance prayer) then He said, “it’s hunting season, time to go hunting for the lost and bring them home to me.” Jesus was giving me a deeper picture of who I am and what my mission in life is, Encounter quarter one class was full of opportunities to grow deeper in my identity. – Julianne Watza Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38a4a2298649b2f6568c0473cc13719f2102fded92873b6c94ff53a75518d6f3?s=300&r=g) 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/3summerfunsbcglobal-net/) **Categories:** Q1 - Identity and Transformation Testimonies --- ### [LOVE the School!!](https://encounterschool.org/2020/08/28/love-the-school/) **Published:** August 28, 2020 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** Year two has taken me so much deeper into the Father’s heart. I have learned to minister to others out of the love of the Father’s heart. It is so rewarding to be able to share God’s love with others in multiple ways.

But I was stuck in a serious struggle. I needed more, more of Him. I needed my beautiful 26-year-old daughter to be healed. She was in college, dating and working at Kohls department store. Until she began to consider a religious vocation. Bam….seizures hit her. Horrible back pain hit her and she became bedridden for 3 years. No religious order will take a sick candidate. This was an attack to thwart her plans. I needed help praying. It was too much for me on my own. This girl loves Jesus, is filled with the Holy Spirit, deeply committed to Hm. She kept telling me Gods got this mom. But she was failing, physically, mentally in every way. To the point, I feared she may die. l needed to learn how to pray for physical healing, more than I had already learned in all those years in the renewal. I needed formation in this area. I was needing a community. Mind you I was not neglecting my relationships with God before healing school, but it became very clear I had so much more to learn. It was midnight in my life, and my child was very seriously ill. I had the faith and knew God wanted to heal her, but I was scared, I could not see beyond her suffering right before my eyes daily, seizure after seizure. The medical community gave no hope, had no idea why she was sick..had not found an effective treatment plan. I needed Jesus to be her physician, He was the only one who could do it. I needed the Body of Christ and an extraordinary touch from God. At the summer intensive meeting, I got it….and it’s continuing. She is better. Her brain has been healed as a result of the prayer she received at the encounter conference. Mind you now this is 4 years out from the onset, she has multiple problems and one by one Jesus is healing her, and we continue to fight for her, pray for her. She is out of bed now. How Encounter Ministries helped me,.. I have learned who I am and how to be bold in the Lord. He is big and mighty and able. He wants to heal us. I have grown knowledge of the Lord’s ways and grown in holiness and compassion for others. It takes spiritual maturity to undertake healing school, A desire and openness to all of the spiritual gifts and perseverance in prayer and homework. It’s not for the faint of heart, because you have to decide (Jesus at all costs). It takes time and determination, to make yourself available 24/7 to the Lord. But…isn’t that the great commission Anyway? – Julie Whitlock Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/196f364568895c74e17b490ff9dad5ce4697fbf8c11ee1bd769caa3f1567fef4?s=300&r=g) Julie Whitlock [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/jwhitlockpeoplepc-com/) **Categories:** Q3 - Hearing God and the Prophetic Gifts Testimonies --- ### [Moving Forward](https://encounterschool.org/2020/08/27/moving-forward/) **Published:** August 27, 2020 **Author:** Michelle McGee **Content:** Through this quarter, I have grown in my confidence.

If we are open and aware, miracles present even when we aren’t looking for them. The lesson on Wisdom from the Saints came at an interesting time. There was a quote at the end of the lesson from Mother Teresa about the love of Jesus from the cross and the Eucharist. I manage a parish book & gift shop and the Tuesday before class we had a funeral for a gentleman who was well known and respected in the community and a secular Franciscan. Priests, deacons, sisters, and laity were in attendance, and among them four Missionaries of Charity. I struck up a conversation with them when they came in the bookshop, and one of the sisters gifted me with a Miraculous Medal and snipped a piece of cloth from Mother Theresa’s Habit which she taped to a Holy Card for me. She also had a First class relic on hand for me to venerate. I was so taken aback I could hardly speak. I introduced her to a co-worker and classmate and she was blessed with the relics as well. While praying with a priest at the Encounter Conference, I told him the story because he called upon Mother Teresa for me. He said it was wonderful and that I should carry that with me when praying with people because she wanted me to. The class on the Saints spoke well to me, but each session brought more fruit and joy. – Shawn Spagnuolo Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fd673e15391ec4bc3e77d504a20b1ba591efaebeaea2859ac93484b23010ac69?s=300&r=g) Shawn Spagnuolo [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/cyoshawniehotmail-com/) **Categories:** Q6 - Intimacy with God Testimonies --- ### [Can I Grow Deeper in Love?](https://encounterschool.org/2020/08/27/can-i-grow-deeper-in-love/) **Published:** August 27, 2020 **Author:** Joan Otten **Content:** Going into the quarter, I couldn’t imagine what I could learn that I didn’t already know from my life experience and what the school had taught in the first year. God is so good, He constantly shows me just what I don’t know! Wow! This quarter of “Intimacy with God” just blew me away! I never imagined I could go to such a deeper level of love for God that this quarter led me into. When I speak to some of the first-year students I often hear them say they might not pursue the second year. They too felt they are learning all they need and what could top that first year? I encourage them to stick with it as that is how I felt also. You “don’t know what you don’t know” is what I like to tell them and what you don’t know is AMAZING! I’m at the point where I’m feeling a bit sad with the thought that my schooling is about to end in a few short months. Our God is great and good so I know He will lead me where He wants me from here. The unknown is always a bit scary, but what I have now is greater confidence in who I am and what my relationship with God/Jesus/Holy Spirit has become. This quarter opened new areas of love for God I didn’t know existed, after all, I already “had a relationship with God.” Ya, right! Learning to love never ends. It only increases as much as we are willing to expand it. – Joan Otten Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/000be75e50d6971d8935552f8fe7d01f2dc278523970d0207e747fdcf90cae52?s=300&r=g) Joan Otten [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/gjo73comcast-net/) **Categories:** Q6 - Intimacy with God Testimonies --- ### [The Touch of God](https://encounterschool.org/2020/02/21/the-touch-of-god/) **Published:** February 21, 2020 **Author:** Encounter Ministries **Content:** I know God is close to each of us but did not realize just how close.

I saw his magnificent work in others as they reached out to feel his presence, to bring his light to others, and to become one with him.

During the 2nd quarter, I found myself wanting to go deeper. I wanted more. I wanted God’s power working through me. As I encountered people daily, I sometimes found myself drawn to certain people and a desire to pray for them. One such incident took place in a nursing home where I often visited several friends and family members. On one of my visits, I felt deep compassion for them which I related to the scriptures where Jesus was with a crowd of people. I sensed that Jesus was calling me to be more than a casual visitor for a few, but the call was to let him touch them through me. I had never really been comfortable in nursing homes but found myself drawn to people I did not know and sometimes felt drawn to touch their hand, hug them, or sit and talk for a little while. Their faces lit up and I realized I was allowing Jesus to be present to them through me. WOW! On two separate occasions, I experienced knee pain as I had never had before. I encountered two ladies at church who were about to undergo knee replacement surgery. I surprised myself when I gave in to the desire to ask them to allow me to pray for healing. I saw one of the ladies two weeks later walking without a cane and declaring she was in less pain. To my knowledge, her surgery is on hold. For me, these experiences were a first. I began to pay attention to the ways the Holy Spirit inspired me to step out in faith. I realize that I need to step out and trust God. He does the work, I am his instrument. I continue to pray for boldness and the graces to respond to his call to transform my life and the lives of others.

I was going to need a very costly procedure done on my gums. A classmate, Tracie Bruno prayed over me for healing and I could feel the power coming from her hands. I received much peace and expected a change when I went back. I did receive partial healing and the cost was cut in half. My condition is still improving. Thank you, Jesus! In one of the classes, I had a vision of myself praying with someone who was suffering from extreme discouragement from secondary infertility. I was able to pray with her and she experienced the peace that she had not felt in a long time.

I thought that God might want me to pray for her granddaughter. I struck up a conversation with her only to discover that all her family was well. At that point, I figured that I had missed the Lord. We continued our conversation and she later told me that she had a granddaughter in France, who was the daughter of her son, and she was studying to be a doctor. She said that she was very worried about her getting sick. I was able to say a short prayer over her and her whole family for God’s blessings and protection. She seemed happy and at peace afterward. We don’t have to be correct when we think we have heard from the Lord about someone. If we take a risk the Lord will use us to bless other people and spread His love. It is important to stay close to Jesus and allow the love He pours into us to flow from us to others. – Guy Signorino Louisiana Campus # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c8cb93f1388030d13816da485490821bbfb36178a844a22904c767ed7d5e363c?s=300&r=g) Guy Signorino [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/guysignorinoicloud-com/) **Categories:** Q3 - Hearing God and the Prophetic Gifts Testimonies --- ### [New Spiritual Gift](https://encounterschool.org/2020/08/27/new-spiritual-gift/) **Published:** August 27, 2020 **Author:** Steven Loftin **Content:** The first person that came up to me for prayer, Melissa, had a great power of the Holy Spirit moment during the time I was praying for her. After a few other people that I prayed with, Melissa came back up and told me her experience that she had and asked me if I was anointed. She said she smelled oil that smelled like chrism. I explained how that was the Holy Spirit and I prayed for the multiplication of the gifts that God was giving her. At the end of the night, my wife asked if I would be a catcher for her. This is the new part for me! As she was praying I felt a spirit come around me. I asked God what this spirit was and Melissa came to mind. I asked again and I had a feeling that she was in the room and looking for me. As Jen finished praying I looked around and Melissa was running towards me. She said that she wanted to tell me everything that happened to her tonight. When she finished telling me about all that Jesus did, I told her I felt her spirit looking for me and that I had never experienced that before. This was an awesome thing because I have prayed for this gift almost the whole time I have attended the Encounter school. – Steven Loftin Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3e5b50357ea1a32633acc4a5529c474abaabb5e3b6dd9237f6d7a29817ea7d03?s=300&r=g) Steven Loftin [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/stevenpproyahoo-com/) **Categories:** Q7 - Advanced Ministry Training Testimonies --- ### [Are You There Lord?](https://encounterschool.org/2020/08/27/are-you-there-lord/) **Published:** August 27, 2020 **Author:** Linda Dangerfield **Content:** In my early adult years, I questioned whether God was real. I had scales on my eyes and could not see God’s workings in my life. When it became obvious that my son had a disability and my marriage was falling apart, I was certain that God had sent this upon me. My mom taught my siblings and me as toddlers to pray day and night. However, for me, I read my prayers and hoped I would get lucky and God would answer. Today, I can see that every experience prepared me for this time with encounter ministries and my mom’s greatest gift to me was the gift of prayer. I can look back and see how God abundantly blessed me even when I doubted his existence. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, my prayers are from the heart now. I know that I am in the presence of God. He hears me. He answers my prayers. For the first time, I can say “Father, what is your heart for me in this matter? What is your heart for this person in this matter?” For years I have felt lead to contemplative prayer. I would struggle with just remaining silent in the presence of God and reading my litany of prayers. This past quarter, I surrendered to the silence and it is awesome. I found myself waking up and could wait to sit with my Lord. I finally asked his forgiveness for saying that he must have been dead. I know now that Jesus is alive and always with me. Sometimes in prayer, I feel like my body is on fire when I pray and I know it is the Holy Spirit. I feel like I have a God Wink moment in the upper room with Mother Mary and the Apostles on Pentecost Day. Through my participation in Encounter School Ministries, I have come to know that Yes, “God is There.” He has always been there. He will never leave me and when trouble comes, “Keep my eyes on Him.” He promises to never leave me. I know that he heals and I am not afraid to ask for healing for someone even if they are miles away. After praying, I wait for the call or message that God healed. I am so happy that I decided to participate in the Year 1 classes and plan to enter year 2. – Linda Dangerfield Louisiana Campus # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/60d5735bad8ba7cb1d37755d3217dc965873f4915e9fe48222f1faf7640f750b?s=300&r=g) Linda Dangerfield [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/ldangerfieldcomcast-net/) **Categories:** Q3 - Hearing God and the Prophetic Gifts Testimonies --- ### [The Freedom of Prophetic Words](https://encounterschool.org/2020/08/27/the-freedom-of-prophetic-words/) **Published:** August 27, 2020 **Author:** Kristen Beevers **Content:** In this quarter on the prophetic gifts, I have learned new ways to receive God’s love into my heart. During many of our activations, the Lord revealed things to my prayer partners that only God would know about me. This helped me understand God’s loving, personal, desires for my life. These prophetic words have helped bring a deeper level of freedom into my life and have enabled me to see things in a new way. It has been life-giving and transformational. This quarter has also taught me how to hear God and learn how to deliver his words to others. The process of getting feedback from others on what I have discerned for them has been invaluable. It has fostered the idea of prophecy as a lifestyle for me instead of prophecy as a gift out there for someone else. I’ve learned more about prophecy in this course than I have anywhere else in my life. I am excited to have walked through this door in my life and I never want to turn back! – Kristen Beevers Louisiana Campus # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/15842a57958ca465d6d28f1d1d245df1eb571d49cc2976bae40304e3d4f9084f?s=300&r=g) Kristen Beevers [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/kkbeeversgmail-com/) **Categories:** Q3 - Hearing God and the Prophetic Gifts Testimonies --- ### [Like Snow in a Warm, Sunny Day: Gone!](https://encounterschool.org/2020/08/27/like-snow-in-a-warm-sunny-day-gone/) **Published:** August 27, 2020 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** All of my doubts about the meaning and theological appropriateness of healing ministry are gone!

The most profound experience was the “laser guided missile” –or—one word, or phrase, that God puts on your heart and on your lips to give to a friend or classmate, that really “strikes home” and causes a profound reaction. To see the effects that that one word can have on impacting the person, and to see them having an encounter with God, who just reached though time and space to heal their brokenness is simply amazing! It is so amazing that our God loves us so much that he reaches down from Heaven to speak to His children in such a personal, intimate, and timely way!

We had company all weekend, my youngest daughter was sick, and I was tired. It’s a 2-hour drive each way for me to come and on Tuesday I was going to have to come back this way to take my older daughter to a cardiology appointment at U of M. It was going to be a lot of driving. So I asked the Lord what He wanted me to do and ten minutes later I received a text from my niece reminding me that she was leading the pre-school worship that day. I knew then that the Lord wanted me to go. As things started to happen that made my day even crazier, I was able to peacefully take care of each thing and even get to class by 5:05 pm. The worship was phenomenal and I thought I couldn’t have felt more blessed. But then class started and Joe and Aaron prophesied over me from the stage at the beginning and I cannot fully express how much that meant to me and how loved I felt. The fact that God would make everything that happened to get me to class so I could receive that blessing could make me sob.

I will forever be grateful to Patrick, Fr. Mathias, Sarah, Joe, the interns, the musicians…. each member of the encounter team made a huge impact on me. Their wisdom, faith, encouragement, and courage was off the charts. I cannot just sum up the last quarter. EVERY quarter was so fruitful. First quarter I experienced the inner healing that has forever changed me. I am a new creation. My Love for Christ cannot be put into words. Before I struggled with so much regret and shame. I never felt good enough to be “close” to Christ. That has all changed and I owe it all to Encounter. With gentleness and nurturing, we are led through content and instruction that patiently leads us into the depths of our hearts, and there we begin to be healed and can profoundly experience the love that Christ has for us. It is a game-changer, you are never the same again! Then as each quarter unfolded, the growth just increased exponentially. I have never done anything in my life more purposeful and fruitful. It has affected so many people in my sphere of influence. Because of the faith I have acquired, others have been led to Christ through the power of my testimony, This is truly a school of discipleship. The biggest change that occurred in my life was the change that happened in my family. My spouse led me to the catholic church when we first met, and after 21 years of marriage, I can gratefully say that I led him to a deeper level of relationship with Christ. Because of MY experience, change and growth. Coming home after an amazing class I would eagerly share with him all that I experienced. You have to because your partner has to know what amazing this are happening to you! That led us to attend the [Encounter Conference](https://encounterministries.us/conference/). There, he experienced so much growth and transformation. What really makes my heart so grateful is the faith my children have cultivated. My three kids (10, 15, 18) have a deeper faith because of my faith. We listen to praise and worship together, we pray together, we have attended the Encounter conferences together, and they really love it. The Encounter Conference has made Catholicism dynamic and fruitful for them. It has added a much-needed layer of how we practice our faith. We need experiences for our youth to have encounters with the Holy Spirit. To be set on fire for the Lord! Then they can go back to their churches and parishes and spread the fire. We need the Encounter school for youth and teens. It is IMPERATIVE that we grow in that direction. I think each RE program at every catholic church needs to be a “mini” Encounter School of Ministry! This would change the face of the church, THIS would keep our kids on fire and coming back as young adults. MY eldest is attending a Catholic University, my middle is attending Catholic Youth Summer camp in July, and my youngest is watching as his sibling grow in relationship to Christ, and my hope is that the faith they have cultivated trickles down to him. What awesome examples my eldest two are to their youngest brother. I owe it all to the faith that I have grown into by being a student of Encounter ministries. I truly believe this is a life changing school. – Cary Anderson Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38a4a2298649b2f6568c0473cc13719f2102fded92873b6c94ff53a75518d6f3?s=300&r=g) 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/3summerfunsbcglobal-net/) **Categories:** Q8 - Leadership and Deployment Testimonies --- ### [Encountering Jesus!](https://encounterschool.org/2020/07/05/encountering-jesus/) **Published:** July 5, 2020 **Author:** Debbie Ferrari **Content:** Encounter Quarter 4 has been amazing! Some of the amazing transformational things during this time has been: experiencing the heart of God the Father, hearing and seeing Jesus, experiencing His Presence, relying on the Holy Spirit in a profound way, receiving His gifts, gaining confidence to lead inner healing and other prayers, giving prophetic words and images, knowing Jesus is always with me laughing and dancing, experiencing total joy, and gaining beautiful new friends who love God. I am so grateful to our Encounter School leaders in LA, Chantelle and Ben, for bringing me to such a beautiful Encounter with Jesus. They are incredible Directors and Teachers!

Using the Wounded Memories Tool: I have identified many lies I came to believe about myself that I am an unworthy daughter, lies that I have to judge and criticize others which inadvertently protects me from close relationship with others. Soul Ties Tool: When I worked in conjunction with my partner I was able to identify people that have or had inordinate emotional ties to. I now have authority over myself in healthy relationships. What freedom! Healing Relationship with Trinity Tool helped me identify and heal the relationship with my own Father who was not able to give me the love I needed as a child. In turn this helped establish a loving relationship with God Father. Closing Door Tool: I was able to identify how I left the door open to fear, anger and chaos within my family. Satan walked right in. I identified the people present in the lie, to renounce it, then find truth. After one month I have images of Jesus standing guard at the closed door.

I signed up and hoped that the weekly two and a half hour drive would be worth it. I told God that it better be worth it or I wasn’t going to continue with that kind of weekly commitment for two years. From day one of the class I knew why God led me there. Every week took me deeper and closer to God in ways I never could have imagined. How simple in many ways was the Fathers Love revealed to me and the Holy Spirit opened up to me. I felt very uncomfortable in many class activations and homework, but God wanted to stretch, humble, and change me. Washing away my pride and control, to let the Holy Spirit rein in me. I began to think different, act differently, look at people differently and pray differently. To say that Encounter School of Ministry is life changing, would be an understatement. Just to know that we are heirs to the Kingdom and how much God wants to give us right now… to tap into our inheritance as his sons and daughters. Supernatural faith is prayerfully earned, not just given. I have become more fearless in God’s love towards others from all that I have learned. Peace abounds in my life at a level I didn’t know I could experience. Having been involved in Unbound Prayer Ministry, this school took me to a whole new level. Opening me up to so many different healing and deliverance prayer models put more plays in my playbook. What a great gift! The supernatural gifts of words of knowledge, prophecy, deliverance and healing have equipped me in ways I could never have imagined…. and my journey is only beginning! I am so grateful to Patrick, Fr. Matthias and all the Encounter School of Ministry staff for the courage and faith to step out and let the Holy Spirit lead them in teaching us all that God had given to them, so that we can do the same for others.

Thank you Holy Spirit for opening the eyes to my mind,heart, and spirit. There were hidden things that were revealed to me during the inner healing quarter that were brought into the light so I could finally lay it all Jesus’ feet. The ministry tools I learned this quarter on how to close the door to the Evil One was so very essential. I’m so grateful that I was able to prepare my sister and Larry for a recent death in the family. Without the powerful things I learned this quarter, I would not have known what to say or how to pray. This was a comfort to her as well as she was allowed to be at his hospice bedside.

I have enjoyed learning how to live forgiveness as a lifestyle choice, just like choosing exercise and nutrition habits.

Encounter Ministry is the work of the Holy Spirit and New Spring time. The long cold bitter winter is ending and warmth, love and new life is emerging. I’m ready to be deployed! This new spring time began with a word of knowledge that was courageously spoken to me by a Christian Friend of mine” Jesus wants to Know Why you do not sing to Him any More”. At the time when these words were spoken to me, my heart was still healing from the betrayal & abandonment of a marriage of 21 years, the death of a beloved Mom, who passed away with the heart wrenching disease of ALS, along with other sins, wounds and hurts. The effects of these events, unfortunately filled me at times with worthlessness, anxiety, depression, anger & Shame. They were foes like the unwelcome presence of Ice in early spring that weighs down the beautiful new little daffodil which has been trying to bloom. “Jesus wants to Know Why you do not sing to Him any More” These words of Knowledge from the Holy Spirit brought forth a new realization to me. A ray of sunshine that would start the processes of melting the thick ice that held my heart in bondage. When I was a child, Jesus would fill my soul with Joy, Love and trust. I desired to Sing to Jesus in order to profess my love and gratitude to Him. After I sang, Jesus poured even more love into my heart. My soul was a beautiful little rose bud garden, care free, fragrant and full of trust, innocence and love. Over time the battles, sins and wounds, had caused me to stop singing to Jesus. Through this one word of Knowledge, a path to a new beginning appeared. As God then led me to the Encounter Ministry School. Over the past two years the Holy Trinity was saturating me with the rays of his sunshine which was melting away the ice on my heart. Wow, Incredible amazing, transforming and even these words could never capture what happened. Through Scripture, the class room teachings, Prayer, Holy Spirit Manifestations & fellowship, a complete new birth and renewal of the mind, Body, soul and Spirit had occurred. The Layers of Ice on my heart that had held me in shame, guilt, fears, anxieties, depression, anger and doubts were melted away. The heart of the child that I once knew was no longer a stranger. God had breathed new life into my soul. A new Garden had formed that was even more beautiful then the childhood one. The deep Inner Peace of God’s Love, Innocence and Joy have captured my soul. I am freely residing in God’s beautiful garden of love, opening up my beautiful petals to God’s Sunshine, swaying in the peaceful winds of the Holy Spirit and enjoying God’s the Father tender care and watering of my Soul. Jesus no longer ask me Why I do not sing to him any more. We daily sing together in the Garden of His Love. In closing, as I and my fellow students go forth and allow Jesus to fill us with His life and love, we do so bringing God’s sunshine to others! As God’s dream for us all is to live forever in his heavenly Garden with all our brothers and sisters, on earth and those who are already there in the Celestial Garden.

I bought the gift I felt he was telling me to buy-a dark purple umbrella- it had to be dark purple- and I was to go to Walmart (I tried look for it at Meijer because it was more convenient- but I only found floral purple umbrellas. And sure enough, I heard God say, ” I told you to look at Walmart!”). So there I was at Walmart and I found the exact shade of purple umbrella from the image He gave me. Then I wrote the word He was giving me for the person who would receive my gift though I was a little concerned it wasn’t “right” or just too generic. During the gift exchange itself, one person that I knew fairly well chose my gift. I cringed because I knew the word I got couldn’t be for her. I thought I must have heard wrong and that I totally bombed the assignment! But then, MaryAnn from Ohio “stole“ the gift. I forgot it was a ‘white elephant style gift exchange where people could either select a new gift or take a gift that went to someone else. Well, MaryAnn read the prophecy and was so moved! She felt that it was spot on and meant so much to her. I know the prophetic isn’t just about about being “right” but getting this positive feedback really helped increase my confidence and made me less afraid to share prophetic words . – Cathy Post Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38a4a2298649b2f6568c0473cc13719f2102fded92873b6c94ff53a75518d6f3?s=300&r=g) 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/3summerfunsbcglobal-net/) **Categories:** Q3 - Hearing God and the Prophetic Gifts Testimonies --- ### [I Am Soaring](https://encounterschool.org/2020/06/15/i-am-soaring/) **Published:** June 15, 2020 **Author:** Linda Kelley **Content:** I have struggled with hearing from the Lord for many years. There was some kind of obvious block. I had renounced the lie that I couldn’t hear from the Lord a zillion times. Over the years I have sat in prophecy workshops, embarrassed that I was the only one in my circle who didn’t hear a word. The Lord obviously called me into inner healing fifteen years ago. I do have a sense of knowing, but never words. I couldn’t receive the inner healing that I ministered to others because I couldn’t hear. People would be drawn to me in events, because they knew I had a word for them, no word. It has been a long painful journey. I give credit to the Presence of the Lord, prayers prayed over us and the baby steps in the activations building up confidence in me. Now, after this quarter on hearing God speak and the Prophetic, I am free and I am soaring, my heart is bursting with the closeness that I feel to the Holy Spirit. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. – Linda Kelley Louisiana Campus # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/da39efbef225771f32c6870049b09387f120404a8708dce3692fbc5a730dbdd4?s=300&r=g) Linda Kelley [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/lindapkelleyyahoo-com/) **Categories:** Q3 - Hearing God and the Prophetic Gifts Testimonies --- ### [Surprised](https://encounterschool.org/2020/06/15/surprised/) **Published:** June 15, 2020 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** I wasn’t expecting the surprise this quarter held for me. The content of this quarter opened me up to an invitation and a sense of mission beyond the interior offering of myself through the Hands of Our Blessed Mother and in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for the salvation of souls. I began to consider more seriously that Our Lord may want something more of me in the sharing of my relationship with Him, which I never thought He’d ask of me. This thought first occurred to me last summer even before I knew of Encounter Ministries’ mission. I sobbed at the thought of it when it occurred to me right before and as I was sharing it with a close friend of mine. When I started taking risks and praying with people in a prophetic way, it seemed to be positively impactful for them to experience the love of God for them. I myself have come to know that God is pleased to include others in His masterful work of saving souls. This invitation to participate personally in the external manifestations of the Spirit is surprising and also certainly raises me to a heightened awareness of the sacred dignity of my person as I pray, decide, speak and act. What especially confirmed this call for me was when I reached out to a waitress busing our table at a dinner/dance fundraiser. I could sense her pain and asked if I could pray for her. She started sobbing and told me of her miscarriage as a result of her abusive ex-husband’s assault on her abdomen 10 years ago. She has no children…heartbreaking! While I prayed with her she stopped crying and felt heat go through her whole body. She said she felt peace come over her and felt like this burden she’s been carrying for 10 years had been lifted.

I have been extremely active in the Charismatic Renewal on a national level for over 10 years and I am a national Catholic speaker and evangelist. I have operated in most of the charisms since I attended Franciscan University as a college student, but I really felt inadequate when praying over people for healing. My husband and I started to do parish missions for all ages throughout the US and Canada and I would get more and more requests to pray for different ailments. I knew I had an anointing for the gift of preaching, evangelization, knowledge and inner healing but I never felt I had it for healing. Over the years, I did see from time to time people getting healed through my prayer but felt that was the exception and not the rule. Recently, my husband Dan and I led a parish mission in Kirkland, WA. On the last night of the mission, we were leading people in worship in preparation for the baptism of the Holy Spirit and I felt led to pray for people with headaches and people said they got immediate relief. In our one on one prayer ministry, people were healed. One woman wrote, “I have to tell you, after you and Dan prayed over me on Saturday for the pains in my leg I have had little or no pain since then! My husband is in disbelief!

We both were tired and I actually thought about skipping out before the ministry time. However the transition into ministry happened so quickly and there were so many people that came forward that we knew we could not leave. So knowing that being tired and at the end of a very long week I, personally, had nothing to give. But I know that is when Jesus loves to work through me the most, in my weakness, especially when I acknowledge that weakness. So we stayed and participated in praying over our brothers and sisters that were so beautifully hungering for more of God, and his Holy Spirit. It was amazing. It was so beautiful to see the Spirit fall on people and for them to experience his personal love for them. I especially felt called to speak prophetic words to several of the older brothers and sisters, who needed to know that it is not too late for them to receive new wine, and new wineskins. Thank you for letting us share in this. – MaryBeth Wilson Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/62eed40d609513680b4aa22e3ac21c0a0614bad4e4b14680cb8e68276736f1e8?s=300&r=g) MaryBeth Wilson [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/mbwilsonidaol-com/) **Categories:** Q7 - Advanced Ministry Training Testimonies --- ### [Lay Hands on the Sick and They Will Recover!](https://encounterschool.org/2020/02/24/lay-hands-on-the-sick/) **Published:** February 24, 2020 **Author:** Jean Mikelonis **Content:** My husband and I have been friends with a couple for the past 7 years. Neither of them practice any faith and do not have a relationship with God. I have been praying for a few years to discern how to evangelize them, started with praying before meals and openly talking about our faith. Nothing seemed to change and my heart was heavy. I even thought of breaking off the friendship because it was not producing any fruit. Recently they came to our home before we left to go out to dinner. The wife told me how she has been suffering from vertigo for weeks and that she has been to a ENT doctor and they’ve run tests but couldn’t figure out what was wrong. They were still trying to figure out a course of action. Before I could stop myself, I crossed the chicken line and asked her if I could pray over her. She said yes immediately. And standing there with her coat still on, I prayed a simple prayer of healing, commanding in the name of Jesus her ears, and anything causing the vertigo to be healed. She didn’t feel anything while we prayed. We left after that to walk to dinner. For the remainder of the evening she was amazed at no vertigo! She sent me a note this morning that it is still gone and she always experienced it when going to bed and getting up! Praise God! When we came back to our home after dinner, we sat and talked about God and how he loves us and wants a relationship with us. We asked if they would like to come to mass with us sometime (neither is Catholic) and she said yes! I praised God for answering our prayers of how to evangelize them and that his Great Commission in Mark 16:15-18 was fulfilled- whoever believes and is baptized “will lay hands on the sick and they will recover!” – Jean Mikelonis Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b84251ef9d6da023812ef654a48ca7074f5d78a04ec79f70332ea5b597a8fd4b?s=300&r=g) Jean Mikelonis [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/jeanmikelonisgmail-com/) **Categories:** Q2 - Power and Healing Testimonies --- ### [Confirmation Healing](https://encounterschool.org/2020/02/24/confirmation-healing/) **Published:** February 24, 2020 **Author:** Emily McJones **Content:** I teach a confirmation class with 8th and 9th graders on Sunday nights. We’ve been talking about the Holy Spirit, and one night I decided to step out in faith and allow Holy Spirit to show the kids he is still at work in the church. I asked if any of them was in physical pain, and one of the girls said she had constant pain and stiffness in her shoulders and neck. I spent some time praying for her and invited other students to come pray with us, and by the end she was able to roll her shoulders, which she hadn’t been able to do before, and her pain had decreased from an 8/10 to a 4/10!

I have always believed that God still wants to heal today and prayed with faith, but never felt I “should” ask or continue to press in for more right there on the spot. I figured I just didn’t have the kind of gift needed for immediate healing. I believe learning more about what Jesus did when he walked the earth and pressing in using the five step prayer model has increased my faith and given me a tool to use. The results have increased my confidence! Wow! What the Lord has done is amazing! A woman that had been bleeding for three months stopped after we prayed and a sciatic problem disappeared on the spot.

I pray daily and really felt the exercises helped my prayer life immensely. Every class taught me more ways to reach God; learning that I meet God in the secret place and He reveals secrets was powerful. The Song of Songs class helped show me God’s love in new ways and Dr. Ralph Martin gave much insight on how to grow in holiness.

Fr Thelen’s class “Davidic Worship” where he had us take time to praise unabashedly with our bodies unleashed a greater joy and freedom for me personally. Class 5 homework, was to worship with music; taking praise into our daily time of prayer. This activity increased joy and the gift of tongues within me, leading me deeper into my heart and communication with God. I was amazed where the Lord took me. Praising in tongues, my heart seemed to lift more to the Father and the Holy Spirit was teaching me how to give more of it to Him. This was a powerful experience. I asked the Lord to heal certain deep wounds and for the grace to unite it to Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross (for a long time I have been reluctant to give him the pain) knowing that together we are saving souls. I believe Jesus answered this prayer. Now, I more often, surrender my suffering instead of holding onto sadness. Additionally, I do not react internally in the same difficult situations. – Lauren Ghastin Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8d47e6eca16566623dd7267d8b6eb4e7ae63b4152eb9dbb3b27c2e4967d75165?s=300&r=g) Encounter Ministries [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/vocare84/) **Categories:** Q6 - Intimacy with God Testimonies --- ### [No Shyness in the Kingdom](https://encounterschool.org/2020/02/27/no-shyness-in-the-kingdom/) **Published:** February 27, 2020 **Author:** Cathy Post **Content:** Although after the first year, I was learning to step out more when it came to praying for strangers, I was still often pretty shy. One class, Dan Dematte spoke and told us there are no shy people in the Kingdom. I took that to heart and one day while grocery shopping, I nearly collided with a lady. As she was walking away with her cart, I noticed she was limping and felt like the Holy Spirit was prompting me to go tell her that Jesus loves her so much. So I started off after her, but almost chickened out twice before I decided I wasn’t going to back down this time (I had chickened our asking to pray for someone a few weeks before at a restaurant). When I finally caught up with her, I walked up and told her that I felt like God wanted me to tell her He loved her. She almost started to cry and said I had made her day; she wasn’t feeling well, had gone to a church service earlier, and she really needed a sign that God was there. If I would have went about my shopping, ignoring the prompting to pray, I might have deprived her of something she really needed to hear that day!

We prayed beforehand. God provided some images of the people we would meet. It was amazing! It came true. I received an image of a person with a red hat and of someone else that I couldn’t decipher the detail of. Among people, I saw the person with a red hat and then knew that we were in the right place. We served and prayed with many people, by asking, do you know Jesus? Do you want prayer? It was powerful. Many of the homeless wanted prayers for their needs and for help to get off the street. One couple was very moved with tears and expressed the love that they received. We praised God. God blessed the people with love through praying with them versus feeding them food and giving them hand warmers. A challenge was rejection when some people were not interested in discussing Jesus or in praying. One man said that he knew Jesus but he had given himself to the devil and he was not worthy; thus, he didn’t want prayer but was thankful for the food. A lesson learned, next time I would tell him God loves you and there is nothing that you can do that God will not forgive because his son died for our sins–God is infinite mercy. I was taken aback with his response of self-hate for himself. As we were driving away I realized that a person standing along a building wall was the woman I saw in prayer before we went out, so I missed talking to her. Next time I will pray even as we were with the people asking the Holy Spirit for help so that I do not miss what he is calling me to do. The quarter was a blessing and evangelizing brought God’s joy and peace to those we met and to us. – Lauren Ghastin Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f61c11438d0c9dde72839d1174baf373d2019eb500332735c072fa4ba2ab213d?s=300&r=g) Aaron Basinger [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/abasinger001gmail-com/) **Categories:** Q5 - Power Evangelization Testimonies --- ### [His Not Mine](https://encounterschool.org/2020/02/27/his-not-mine/) **Published:** February 27, 2020 **Author:** Lynn Komasara **Content:** This quarter, more than ever before, I found myself responding to the deposit of love God put in my heart for others. As I stepped out to give God’s love away more often, I found my heart expanding to hold a depth of compassion, tenderness and gentleness that I had not experienced before. It’s as if I was praying with his heart, not mine. All of a sudden I knew things about people before they said them and my heart broke, or leapt for joy, before they told their stories. I was getting a glimpse of what the Lord saw in each person I prayed with, as if I was seeing with His eyes not mine. I found myself listening better, and more readily hearing the unspoken words of the people in front of me. It’s as if I was listening with His perspective and understanding, not mine.

Between that and some other circumstances, I was beginning to feel very discouraged. During pre-school worship one evening, I felt the Lord prompt me to go up and lay my hand on the bottom step up to the altar. When I did so, I immediately experienced His presence and began weeping. He gave me the image of the woman with the issue of blood touching His garment and being healed. He said to me, “And you are hemorrhaging hope.” That is exactly what I was doing – all my hope just flowing out and out. I experienced Him healing me and restoring hope and encouragement to me. After that, every class and every homework assignment became part of my greater walk in hope. Even things I had learned or done previously, like Scriptural meditation, took on new dimensions for me. The teachings were so solid and rich. The homework, though, is where God was able to continue the work of what I was learning. One particular class, we were reading aloud from the Passion Translation and the Lord was so present. It was an intensely moving reminder of the Lord’s love for me personally and again, it brought about restoration of hope as I became more aware of His desire for unity with me. I can’t say that I emerged completely from this season of dryness, but it is not a cause for discouragement any longer. I know He is present and that I can praise Him in all circumstances. I can actually cultivate joy, not just wish for more it! Best of all, everything I learned can be lived every day as I practice what we learned in personal prayer and ongoing conversation with God. – Amy Randolph Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38a4a2298649b2f6568c0473cc13719f2102fded92873b6c94ff53a75518d6f3?s=300&r=g) 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/3summerfunsbcglobal-net/) **Categories:** Q6 - Intimacy with God Testimonies --- ### [My New Found Love For Jesus and the Father](https://encounterschool.org/2020/02/19/my-new-found-love-for-jesus-and-the-father/) **Published:** February 19, 2020 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** For a long time I have been seeking to find a way to get close to Jesus and the Father. I knew that they loved me, and through scripture that I was born into a new life with them. In the beginning of the quarter, intimacy with God, I was hoping that I would find or at least experience just a touch of His love for me. I was not disappointed. I liken it to an ice cream sundae. The first couple of classes, it was like he was forming a bowl inside of me with a deep bottom. Then he started putting scoops of ice cream in his formed bowl. I remember saying to him this is enough, but he wasn’t finished. Then came the sauce, it was rich and thick and it seemed like it would not end. I felt like the sauce was his love and mercy for me, just for me. Then came the chopped peanuts. His gifts just for me. Then the whipped cream, lots and lots of whipped cream. It was like I knew he was covering me with his presences and it was so sweet. Then comes the cherry. The cherry did not come until the conference. There was a new sense of freedom in me. All I wanted was to be close to Him, to hear Him for others and love those he brought to me. There was so much freedom to be what he created in me that I even danced during worship and I didn’t care because I was dancing for Him in the freedom of his love and closeness to me. – Mary Elaine Riffel Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38a4a2298649b2f6568c0473cc13719f2102fded92873b6c94ff53a75518d6f3?s=300&r=g) 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/3summerfunsbcglobal-net/) **Categories:** Q6 - Intimacy with God Testimonies --- ### [Fully to Jesus](https://encounterschool.org/2020/02/19/fully-to-jesus/) **Published:** February 19, 2020 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** So much happened to me personally in this quarter. As I learned more about intimacy with God, the Holy Spirit continued to convict me of sin, to invite me to open myself more fully to Jesus; to be transformed in every area of my life; to learn humility with joy. Prophetic intercession was a powerful tool to learn. I felt that it opened doors to the unseen and allowed me to truly proclaim the Kingdom over members of my family, in particular. It also increased my faith for seeing the promises of God come through. I think that the prophetic intercession training helped tremendously during the Encounter Conference ministry time. At the conference, I remembered to serve with humility, I remembered that NOTHING there was about me. It was ALL about JESUS. I need only to look to him and he would show up. He did show up. I do not even remember most of what I prayed over people, however, it felt like a download from God. The prophetic words I spoke to people seemed to make sense to them, (at least they said they did) and I was able to speak into their hearts with God’s words.

I am able to go into my secret place with Abba in a special intimate time where he is constantly reminding me how much He loves me. By cultivating this love with meditating Scripture, praising Jesus, praying with my Father’s heart and with the empowerment and compassion of the Holy Scripture, I have grown in my faith.

I remember after the first couple of classes telling people in our carpool that I planned on staying with the Unbound process because I just thought it flowed well and covered all of the bases. Then I remember Patrick teaching us how we can lead people to ask Jesus what might be blocking them, or contributing to their situation. He made the point that it’s much more powerful for people to hear from Jesus as opposed to us pointing something out. How true that is! Since then I was all in on the inner healing quarter! And it just kept getting better! I’ll admit though that there were a lot of times that I didn’t want to do the activations because I knew they were going to go deep and bring up things that I wasn’t comfortable dealing with. But that was the power of that quarter that it both took us all to that place where we could receive inner healing but also showed us how to take others there. Now when I pray inner healing with people I often lead them to ask Jesus to show them things and those prayer experiences go deeper than they did with just Unbound. Especially with people who have been through Unbound already or are familiar with renouncing the spirits that bother them. Asking Jesus to lead them takes them very quickly to the heart of the situation and cuts out a lot of the guess work that used to go into prayer ministry. – Adam Halfman Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/38a4a2298649b2f6568c0473cc13719f2102fded92873b6c94ff53a75518d6f3?s=300&r=g) 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/3summerfunsbcglobal-net/) **Categories:** Q4 - Inner Healing and Freedom Testimonies --- ### [Encounter on the Streets](https://encounterschool.org/2020/02/19/encounter-on-the-streets/) **Published:** February 19, 2020 **Author:** Joan Otten **Content:** I took a “step in faith” when I agreed to go to the streets of Detroit for prayer ministry. I started the day with prayer to the Holy Spirit to guide me and to give me strength and courage. I wondered who I would encounter, knowing what I do about Detroit, and if I would have the confidence to speak about God. Our group began with Mass in Detroit where I was able to pray again for the help I needed and then we paired up and hit the streets. I admit that I just listened to my partner as he approached the first person. John was seasoned at this and spoke beautifully to the “man on the street”. After the first encounter, we just let God lead us (literally as we looked up and saw a huge picture of a lion on the side of the building) and quickly two men, clearly alcoholics with the classic bottle in a paper bag, approached me looking for money. I used what we learned in class and offered to listen to them if I could first “ask them one question”. One of the men said yes while the other took a step back. I began to go over the “Jesus at the Door” tool we received and he listened. It was a beautiful and powerful moment. I became empowered. I prayed over him and he was receptive. That moment that God provided me gave me the courage to continue. John and I ministered to at least 7 people who all listened and accepted prayer that day! Who would have ever thought I would be on the streets of Detroit praying with people. Thank you Jesus for that powerful experience and for the confidence gained. – Joan Otten Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/000be75e50d6971d8935552f8fe7d01f2dc278523970d0207e747fdcf90cae52?s=300&r=g) Joan Otten [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/gjo73comcast-net/) **Categories:** Q5 - Power Evangelization Testimonies --- ### [An Instrument in God's Hands](https://encounterschool.org/2020/02/25/an-instrument-in-gods-hands/) **Published:** February 25, 2020 **Author:** Patty Gonzalez **Content:** This quarter gave me much more confidence to pray for others. In a healing service situation, I feel very confident. However at work or in the community, I never had the courage to step up and offer prayer. By not taking a risk, I wasn’t growing in my healing practice. This quarter taught me to take a risk and use each opportunity to learn. I have adopted the attitude that FAIL stands for First Attempt In Learning. By praying for others more outside to my church, I have seen God heal several times. This not only increases my faith but the faith of others. I have almost completely gotten “out of my head” and led with my heart. I am learning to get out of God’s way and to just be an instrument in His hands. Thank you! – Patricia Gonzalez Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9a303920afa45b3a997d84227f21e33c12c3f4d6cd8f9e4c8b790ccdc19e0a0b?s=300&r=g) Patty Gonzalez [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/pfngaol-com/) **Categories:** Q2 - Power and Healing Testimonies --- ### [The Lord's Strength in Evangelization](https://encounterschool.org/2020/02/24/intercessory-prayer-night/) **Published:** February 24, 2020 **Author:** Sarah Negri **Content:** The last session of this quarter was powerful for me. We spent time bringing all of the people we desired to know the Lord before Him in prayer, interceding for them. I had been feeling very discouraged at my failures in evangelizing boldly; I remembered when my prophetic words had not born fruit, how people rejected me when I tried Jesus at the Door, and how many times I had passed up an opportunity to tell someone about Jesus. I poured this discouragement out to the Lord in prayer before the Eucharist. Then I felt that, not only was He able to, but He desired to take it away from me. I released all my failures into His hands and felt an incredible peace. I was able to just rest in Him and trust that it didn’t matter how much I had tried or failed to evangelize that quarter; He was taking it all. I think when we look at ourselves too much we can miss relying on the Lord’s strength in evangelization, and it was this encounter that reminded me to do that. – Sarah Negri Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ee18ae070ee376b269fd04c44a2234c92b056ad585045f6b41da1fa8667dfdc6?s=300&r=g) Sarah Negri [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/sjmnegrigmail-com/) **Categories:** Q5 - Power Evangelization Testimonies --- ### [Becoming a Mature Disciple](https://encounterschool.org/2020/02/21/becoming-a-mature-disciple/) **Published:** February 21, 2020 **Author:** 3summerfun@sbcglobal.net **Content:** As a student in the Encounter School of Ministry, I have seen God’s hand in the healing of our culture. Our Heavenly Father is drawing us nearer through our own inner healing and restoration of our true identity as His beloved children and sharing that knowledge and healing with others. The coursework covered in the school is raising up mature disciples better than any “program” I have ever seen at the parish level.

It came at a perfect time, when I was overwhelmed with so many distractions in my life. Each week I could count on coming in to class and spending time with the Lord, hearing his Word, praising Him for all he has done in my life, and leaving feeling refreshed and renewed for the week ahead. As a working mother of three, the weeks become blurs of tasks, responsibilities, and deadlines. What I was taught each week helped me to stay the course. Understanding that in the “everyday”, I have an opportunity to glorify my Lord and bring others to Him. Each week, class left me with the strength and endurance to remain His servant working on His behalf, to bring His kingdom to earth. – Cary Anderson Main Campus (Brighton) # RECENT TESTIMONIES ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1bddd5f00582e70b22c50cf2ec91ca1bbf5e697924e42eb459354bffd5265d5a?s=300&r=g) Cary Anderson [See Full Bio](https://encounterschool.org/author/carygirl2011gmail-com/) **Categories:** Q6 - Intimacy with God Testimonies --- ## Pages ### [Home](https://encounterschool.org/) **Published:** July 25, 2018 **Author:** aberdeen@encounterschool.org **Excerpt:** Drawing from the richness of our Catholic heritage, we seek to teach, equip, and activate disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. **Content:** [![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/usa-flag.webp "usa-flag - Encounter School of Ministry") English](https://encounterschool.org/) • [![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/flag_espanol.jpg "flag_espanol - Encounter School of Ministry") Español](https://es.encounterschool.org) • ![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/flag_french.jpg "flag_french - Encounter School of Ministry")[ Français](https://encounterschool.org/french-landing-page/) • ![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/flag-german.webp "flag-german - Encounter School of Ministry") [Deutsch ](https://de.encounterschool.org)• ![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/flag-pt.webp "flag-pt - Encounter School of Ministry") [Português](https://encounterschool.org/pt) • [![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/flag-croatian.jpg "flag-croatian - Encounter School of Ministry") Hrvatski](https://encounterschool.org/HRVATSKA) • [![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/arabic-flag.png "arabic-flag - Encounter School of Ministry") عربي](https://encounterschool.org/arabic) • ![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/flag-czech-republic.png "flag-czech republic - Encounter School of Ministry") [Čeština](https://cz.encounterschool.org/) • ![](https://it.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Flag-Italy-300x200.webp "- Encounter School of Ministry")[ Italiano](https://it.encounterschool.org/) • [![](https://pl.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Flag-poland-300x200.jpg "- Encounter School of Ministry") Polski](https://pl.encounterschool.org/) learn to live a supernatural lifestyle ###### Faithful to Church Teaching on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. ### identity ### prophecy ### healing ### inner healing ### evangelization ### IDENTITY•HEALING•PROPHECY• INNER HEALING • EVANGELIZATION bishop reviews campuses countries with students languages priest graduates ## By your baptism, you have been called.

Jesus spent three years with His disciples, teaching, training and walking with them. Changing your mindset and lifestyle takes time, and you’re not meant to do it alone.

However, we can acknowledge there has been great misunderstanding and overall lack of formation regarding the use and purpose of the Spiritual gifts in the Church. We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. We are convinced the Lord ***always intended*** for his baptized children to demonstrate the Kingdom of God through ***signs and wonders***, just as He did – and we need these gifts now more than ever. Our curriculum has been reviewed by a team of theologians, as well as every bishop presiding over each satellite campus. ***You do NOT have to be Catholic to apply for the school.*** Bishop & theologian review “I never used to hear God’s voice (or trust it was God’s voice). Since starting the school I have had so many experiences of stepping out in faith, testing what I hear, and it being RIGHT! Then to see breakthrough happen! I now have confidence and excitement that God is speaking to me, and is with me when I share the Gospel and pray with people I meet.” – **ESM Student** ## learn to take risks ###### **step out in faith** If you have never prayed for healing, struggle to hear God’s voice, have fear of sharing the Gospel to those you meet, or are seeking to understand the Church’s teaching on the Spiritual gifts – we understand, and so do your classmates.

I felt like I was given permission to use the muscles I was already being encouraged to use but didn’t have all the training I needed to use them properly. Now, I feel equipped and have the confidence to respond to the invitations that are on my heart; to love people and see them through Jesus’s lens.”* *“Through our activations, I was able to grow in my awareness of what the Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit’s voice sound like in my prayers and daily life. Through praying for others and having them pray for me in return, Jesus is increasing my capacity to hear His voice and be obedient to what He asks of me.”* *“I joined Encounter hoping to become closer to Jesus. I have experienced far more. Jesus is truly a good friend. Reading the Bible has given me a deeper understanding of Jesus. I hear Jesus speak giving me a clearer vision and feel like life is flowing very peacefully.”* *“God has transformed me immensely. It’s so hard to describe this feeling of freedom…it’s really more of a deep trust He has instilled in me that I am called, chosen, empowered to speak His love to the world around me.”* *“The instructors are all so passionate! You can tell they really love what they’re doing! They made it fun! I have learned that I can ask God a question and upon quiet peaceful waiting I can receive an answer within a few minutes. I can tell when it’s my thought vs God speaking. I have more trust/confidence that God answers prayers.” It was very encouraging!”* Upcoming Events # Upcoming Event: 2-day school of healing ***November 14-15, 2025*** Come experience a two-day weekend retreat developed to teach and equip you to partner with the power of the Holy Spirit to experience healing miracles in the world around you.

Curriculum Meet Our Team & Instructors ###### **Eric Wombwell** *Director \| Class of 2023* Bio Eric Wombwell is a gifted teacher with an insatiable hunger for greater intimacy with The Father. Shortly after college, Eric experienced a profound conversion setting his life on a new trajectory of missionary discipleship. Since that time the Lord has been maturing Eric into a charismatic servant-leader with an anointing for teaching. Eric believes he is living the dream: husband of over 5-years to his beautiful and faithful bride, Jenna; father of two sons, Max (3) and Leo (1); member of a community of friends and family that reflect the love of The Father; and witness to the supernatural wonders available to those eager to call upon the name of Jesus. Eric is zealous to see the Lord renew His wonders in Kansas City! ###### **Lee McMahon** *Instructor \| Class of 2023* Bio “After a whopping 3-months in the banking world, Lee made the switch into ministry and now serves as the Consultant for Evangelization with the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas. Growing up a wayward wild-child, Lee found the Lord during his senior year of high school and has since become a Bible-thumping Catholic on fire for serving Jesus and His Church. “After earning a Bachelors of Finance from the University of Kansas, Lee went on to earn his Masters of Theology from the Augustine Institute in Denver, CO. A licensed SCUBA Diver and ultimate frisbee fanatic, Lee is on a twofold mission to redeem the vocation of fatherhood and to sanctify the world through the ‘little way’ of family life. He lives in Lawrence, KS with his amazing wife, Adelle, and their four children Josiah (7), Gianna (5), Ezra (3) and Ruth (1).” ###### **Anne Baumert** *Instructor \| Class of 2024* Bio A Benedictine College Alum, Anne taught fifth grade at Church of the Resurrection School in Wichita, Kansas. After meeting her future husband, she moved back home to Des Moines, Iowa, to teach seventh and eighth grade religion at St. Fracis of Assisi School. Anne married her husband Brett in 2014, and moved to Olathe, KS. She is currently a stay-at-home soccer mom to her three children, whom she homeschooled until 2024. Anne grew up devoted to the Catholic faith. Her prayer life and love for the Lord grew tremendously after being baptized in the Holy Spirit in high school. She has a hunger for great intimacy with the Lord, and desires to be docile to the Holy Spirit in every aspect of her life! Anne resides in Olathe with her supportive and loving husband, Brett, and her three children Eva (9) Caeli (7) and Judah (2). ###### **Kayla Calvert** *Instructor \| Class of 2024* Bio A woman who longs to see the Lord’s face each day is Kayla Moylan. Kayla is a math teacher at Bishop Miege High School in the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas. She’s a small town girl, raised in St. Marys, KS, and loves her current big city living in the heart of the US, Kansas City. A bundle of joy explodes when she has the privilege of meeting someone new or greeting someone she knows. She is dedicated to spreading the fire of the Holy Spirit to every inch of earth she touches. ###### **Jenna Wombwell** *Instructor \| Class of 2023* Bio After a lovely southern childhood in Oklahoma, Jenna migrated to the Kansas City area via Benedictine College, where she played soccer and studied Economics. Jenna spent five years in the corporate world, three years in the parish world, and now has her favorite job that she never knew would be her dream job, being a full-time Mama and homemaker. Jenna is on a mission to bring the Kingdom to marriage, family life, and homemaking. She enjoys the work of daily life- teaching her boys to pray, baking bread for family movie night, reading story after story, keeping the house reasonably tidy, and creating meaningful conversations with other moms at the playground. Jenna lives in Overland Park, Kansas with her incredible husband, Eric, and their two sons, Max (3) and Leo (baby). ###### **Dcn. John Williams** *Instructor \| Class of 2024* Bio After a childhood void of God, Dcn John decided to explore Christianity at the age of 19. He spent some time in 2 different non-denominational Churches where he met Jesus. However, several years later, he would be invited to his first Mass, and shortly after receive the grace of conversion. He would go on to marry the lady that invited him to Mass, and be officially received into full communion in the Catholic Church. God made his plans for Dcn John easy by telling him to spread the Gospel message to others. Dcn John has been convicted of this calling ever since and joyfully works to let others know Jesus is real. Dcn John currently teaches Theology at Bishop Ward High School where he also works in Campus Ministry. He has 5 beautiful children, which provide endless hours of joy to his life. When he is not doing something with his family, he likes to exercise, read, and listen to podcasts. Dcn John also enjoys meeting people for coffee and having good conversations. ###### **Allie Foster** *Instructor \| Class of 2024* Bio Allie Foster grew up in Wichita, Kansas, and moved to the Kansas City area to attend Benedictine College. After graduating with degrees in Elementary and Special Education, Allie spent three years working in Residence Life, seven years as a teacher, and now stays at home with her son. Each summer, Allie works to bring youth and families closer to Christ at Camp Tekakwitha while serving as an Assistant Director. Allie lives in Overland Park with her husband and son. She enjoys making her home a place where others feel seen, known, and loved by Jesus. Encounter deepened her relationship with Jesus, and she is excited to help others know His loving abundance! ###### **Dr. Paul Bauer, MD** *Instructor \| Class of 2024* Bio Paul is married to Terese, his amazing wife of 21 years, and is father to five artistic and beautiful children. A hopeless romantic with French heritage, Paul loves to discern the Lord‘s hand at work in creation, in friendship, and in the drama of life. Paul graduated from medical school in 2004, and currently works professionally as a pediatric critical care physician. He and his wife Terese graduated from the Encounter school of ministry in 2024. Paul has witnessed miraculous healings and gives thanks to the Lord for the newness of life that he has experienced in himself and witnessed in others through the power of the Gospel. ###### **Lauren Marquess** *Instructor \| Class of 2024* Bio Lauren was born and raised in Kansas City. She dabbled in faith growing up, but the Lord wasn’t a priority. In 2022, life took a major turn and Lauren hit rock bottom. The Lord had a different plan for her life and invited her to join Encounter Ministries. Life started to shift upward as the Lord started a new journey to heal her heart. Lauren is passionate about her dog, a nice glass of wine, spontaneous dance parties and praising the Lord. She works as a physician assistant doing urology, where she gets to meet patients in a vulnerable space and care for mind, body and soul. Her goal in life is to build an army of people that help get each other to heaven. She wants to know stories and love people in the midst of them.

Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. ## Faithful Teaching Before approval, our curriculum undergoes a rigorous academic curriculum review with a team of respected Catholic theologians, including ***Dr. Mary Healy, Dr. Alan Schreck, Dr. Daniel Keating, Rev. Peter F. Ryan, S.J., and Dr. Robert Fastiggi.*** Not only did they work to guarantee that the curriculum is free from moral and doctrinal error and rooted deeply in Scripture, official Church teaching and the testimony of the early Church fathers, but they helped to provide greater precision and accuracy in the curriculum to diminish possible confusion and ensure full continuity with Church teaching. **This campus has been reviewed and approved by Archbishop Joseph Naumann of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in KS and by Bishop Johnston of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph.** Curriculum Review Team Bishop Approvals Tuition & Course info ### **Cost of Tuition** ##### **Satellite Campus** The yearly cost of tuition is determined by payment frequency: $1,000/year (paid annually) **OR** $1,200/year (paid quarterly).

The students of the Encounter School of Ministry Online Campus will be ministering in teams for each person’s breakthrough using Zoom Rooms. Prophetic healing inner healing ![]() src=”https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/img-practicum-prophetic-video.jpg” alt=”Video Thumbnail” class=”alugha-thumbnail” /> *Join Father Patrick to discover the power of prophecy to uplift, encourage, and console, as we seek to hear God’s voice and share His love. Whether you’re new to prophetic ministry or seeking deeper understanding, this session promises to enrich your spiritual journey and connect you with God’s heart.* ## **Prophetic PracticuM** ***What Is Prophecy?*** Prophecy is hearing from God and speaking what he says. As New Testament believers, we know that God has fully revealed himself to us in Jesus Christ. And so, rooted in this truth, prophecy connects people with God’s heart, his plans, and his promises! This is why the Scripture says that it is meant for the upbuilding, encouragement, and consolation” of the Body of Christ (1 Cor 14:3). ***What is Prophetic Ministry About?*** Prophetic ministry provides each guest with a dedicated time to be served by a small team of students who desire to hear from the Lord on their behalf. Every prophetic word spoken ought to foster your personal relationship with God and give you encouragement and insight into his perspective about your life. ***What can I expect?*** Our Practicum Room requires registration and the use of Zoom rooms. After a general introduction to the session, individual guests will be connected with teams using Zoom breakout rooms for about 10 minutes of ministry time. A student leader will introduce the team and walk you through your time with them. You are welcome to seek prayer for a particular area of your life or leave it open ended for students to pray into. After your session is over, you are welcome to end your Zoom session. ![]() src=”https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/img-practicum-healing-video.jpg” alt=”Healing Practicum Video Thumbnail” class=”alugha-thumbnail” /> class=”alugha-embed” data-src=”https://alugha.com/embed/web-player?alugha=0&v=a77e5800-eed3-11ef-a043-edb75d61e2b6″> *Join Father Miguel as he shares insights on what to expect in the Physical Healing Room for physical healing. This video will guide you in understanding the flow, purpose, and atmosphere of this ministry, helping you approach it with faith and clarity.* ## **Physical Healing PracticuM** **What Is Healing Prayer?** Healing prayer is partnering with God to bring His restorative touch to those who are sick or in need. It connects people with God’s heart, His compassion, and His power. **What Is Healing Ministry About?** Healing ministry provides guests a dedicated time to be prayed for by a small team seeking God’s guidance. Every prayer aims to bring comfort, encouragement, and a deeper encounter with God. Following Jesus’ example, students learn a theology of healing, emphasizing love and compassion. They receive practical training in a non-Sacramental prayer model, participate in individual and team prayer, and explore the role of faith, discernment, and peace in healing ministry. Through this ministry, students grow in confidence to respond to Jesus’ invitation that “all who believe” can be instruments of His healing (Mk 16:18). ***What can I expect?*** Our Practicum Room requires registration and the use of Zoom rooms. After a general introduction to the session, individual guests will be connected with teams using Zoom breakout rooms for about 10 minutes of ministry time. A student leader will introduce the team and walk you through your time with them. After your session is over, you are welcome to end your Zoom session. ## **inner healing PracticuM** Psalm 147:3 reminds us, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Over the past quarter, our students have been growing in how to partner with Jesus to bring healing and wholeness to members of the Body of Christ through inner healing and freedom ministry. As they complete their end-of-quarter practicum, we would love to invite you to receive a time of inner healing prayer. You will meet with a team of two students for a guided session lasting approximately 90 minutes, creating space for the Holy Spirit to move and minister through the tools they have been learning. It is our hope that this will be a meaningful opportunity for you to encounter the Lord’s healing presence in a personal and powerful way. --- ### [ESM | APPLY - Italian](https://encounterschool.org/apply-it/) **Published:** August 10, 2026 **Author:** amy@encounterschool.org **Content:** # ESM Student Application [![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/usa-flag.webp "usa-flag - Encounter School of Ministry") English ](https://www.encounterschool.org/apply "Encounter Poland, May 21-22, 2027") • [![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/flag_espanol.jpg "flag_espanol - Encounter School of Ministry") ](https://encounterschool.org/apply-es/?lang=es-ES)[Español ](https://www.encounterschool.org/apply-es "Encounter Poland, May 21-22, 2027")• ![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/flag_french.jpg "flag_french - Encounter School of Ministry") [Français ](https://www.encounterschool.org/apply-fr/ "Encounter Poland, May 21-22, 2027")• ![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/flag-german.webp "flag-german - Encounter School of Ministry") [Deutsch ](https://encounterschool.org/apply-de/?lang=de)• ![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/flag-pt.webp "flag-pt - Encounter School of Ministry") [Português ](https://www.encounterschool.org/apply-pt) • [![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/flag-croatian.jpg "flag-croatian - Encounter School of Ministry") ](https://encounterschool.org/apply-hr/?lang=hr)[Hrvatski ](https://www.encounterschool.org/apply-hr/ "Encounter Poland, May 21-22, 2027") • [![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/arabic-flag.png "arabic-flag - Encounter School of Ministry") ](https://encounterschool.org/apply-lb/?lang=ar-EG)[عربي ](https://www.encounterschool.org/apply-lb/) • ![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/flag-czech-republic.png "flag-czech republic - Encounter School of Ministry") [Čeština ](https://www.encounterschool.org/apply-cz "Encounter Poland, May 21-22, 2027")• [![](https://it.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Flag-Italy-300x200.webp "- Encounter School of Ministry") Italiano](https://www.encounterschool.org/apply-it) •[ ![](https://pl.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Flag-poland-300x200.jpg "- Encounter School of Ministry") Polski](https://www.encounterschool.org/apply-pl/ "Encounter Poland, May 21-22, 2027") ### tuition info ### ![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/icn-apply.png "icn-apply - Encounter School of Ministry") application ### requirements \[Automation\] Application Encounter School of Ministry - Prospective Student Profile - Religious Background - Experiences - Campus Selection - Campus Requirements - Tuition - Final Questions 0% Complete 1 of 7 ### Prospective Student Basic Information First Name \* Last Name \* Email \* Confirm Email \* Please confirm your email address.

Designed and established from the heart of [*Encounter Ministries*](https://encounterministries.us), this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. - **Long Term Discipleship**: It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. - **Authentically Catholic**: We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. Our curriculum has been [reviewed by bishops and theologians.](https://encounterschool.org/approvals) ## location & schedule Led by a locally trained Campus Director and instructors, this satellite campus is a fully on-site program following the same ESM Curriculum as other campuses.

Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum Q1: Identity & transformation *Supplemental Reading: [Supernatural Saints ](https://www.amazon.com/Supernatural-Saints-School-Ministry/dp/B0BJ4RPFQW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13KG0BEMFNJ30&keywords=supernatural+saints+book+by+patrick+reis&qid=1688665970&sprefix=supernatural+saints%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-1)by Patrick Reis* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Building a foundation for all ministry on your royal identity as sons and daughters of God who experience transformation by the renewal of the mind.*** Before students receive teaching and training in particular areas of ministry, they need to know who they are and whose they are. The first quarter focuses on the royal identity we receive as sons and daughters of God who have received an inheritance to do the works of Jesus and even greater works (Jn 14:12). Throughout the quarter students work to shift from a performance based mentality where their value and identity comes from what they do for God and into an identity where their value comes from who they are as sons and daughters of God alone. Students learn about the nature of transformation by the renewal of the mind and seek to shift from thinking from an earthly perspective to a heavenly perspective in regard to ministry (Matt 16:23). In each class students come to understand and experience their identity as temples of the Holy Spirit, be convicted of the new nature we have received from Jesus through baptism, live in the power of the Holy Spirit and respond to the authority we have received to expand the kingdom of God for a life of mission. In each class, students encounter new realms of God’s love and how the Father sees us in Jesus. Q2: Hearing God’s Voice & the Prophetic Gifts of the Holy Spirit *Supplemental Reading: [The Spiritual Gifts Handbook](https://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Gifts-Handbook-Using-Kingdom/dp/0800798635/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2PF6PQU4LQYS7&keywords=spiritual+gifts+handbook&qid=1688666059&sprefix=spiritual+gifts+h%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-1) by Dr. Mary Healy and Dr. Randy Clark* ###### ***Course Description*** Jesus taught us that He is the good shepherd and we are his sheep and that we hear his voice (Jn 10:4). In the first part of this quarter, students will understand that their ability to hear God’s voice comes from who they are in God and not what they do for Him. Students will spend time learning the “language of the Holy Spirit” who speaks to us through us and the discernment needed to identify his voice from either our own or the enemy’s. After growing in greater understanding and confidence to hear God’s voice for their own life, students will learn what it means to share in Christ’s prophetic office (Lumen Gentium 12) and to seek out and discover the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit for ministry. As the Scripture teaches that we are to “earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, above all that we would prophesy” (1 Cor 14:1), our students come to understand that the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit are simply a matter of hearing God’s voice for the world around us that would have the effect of building up, encouraging and consoling others in Christ (1 Cor 14:3). In this quarter, students will have many creative opportunities for prophetic ministry with one another and opportunities for honest feedback and growth rooted in love. Q3: power & healing *Supplemental Reading: [Healing: Bringing the Gift of God’s Mercy to the World ](https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Bringing-Gift-Mercy-World/dp/1612788203/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314670&sr=8-1&keywords=healing+healy)by Dr. Mary Healy* ###### ***Course Description*** Before Jesus gave the Eucharist or even the Holy Spirit to his disciples, he called his disciples to preach the Gospel and expected them to heal the sick (Mt 10:7-8; Luke 10:9). Jesus never proclaimed the Gospel without demonstrating and confirming the message with accompanying demonstrations of power – with physical healing being the most frequent sign. In this quarter, students learn a theology of healing that includes the role of healing in evangelization and the wisdom that healing ministry is done from a place of love and compassion for the sick. They will also learn a basic non-Sacramental prayer model for healing ministry and receive many opportunities in a safe and humble environment to participate in healing prayer both as individuals and in team settings. Students will also receive sessions on understanding the role of faith in healing ministry, words of knowledge for healing, the power of peace and how to overcome the discouragement that we can experience when healing does not occur. Overall, students will gain greater confidence to respond to Jesus’ invitation that “all who believe” can be used by God to bring healing to the world around them (Mk 16:18). Q4: Inner Healing & Freedom *Supplemental Reading**: [Be Healed by Dr. Bob Schuchts](https://www.amazon.com/Be-Healed-Guide-Encountering-Powerful/dp/1594714762/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314813&sr=8-1&keywords=be+healed+bob+schuchts) and [*Deliverance Ministry* ](https://www.amazon.com/Deliverance-International-Charismatic-Doctrinal-Commission/dp/0578353571/ref=sr_1_2?crid=13T2PIE2LVC2K&keywords=deliverance+ministry+healy&qid=1662048078&sprefix=deliverance+ministry+healy%2Caps%2C76&sr=8-2)by International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services Doctrinal Commission*** ###### ***Course Description*** ***Getting equipped to participate in Jesus’ ministry of “healing the broken hearted and binding up their wounds.”*** God has revealed himself as the Lord who “heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Ps 147:3). In this quarter, students will be equipped to engage in the ministry of inner healing and freedom. Students will have the opportunity to grow in God’s heart and desire to see the broken made whole and seek to cultivate tools and skill sets to partner with the Holy Spirit to bring healing to the heart. Students will learn the anatomy of the wounds that we experience in life and how to partner with Jesus to bring freedom from the lies, unforgiveness and disorder that come as a result of these wounds. Jesus also desires his children to be free from the influence of evil spirits. This quarter also teaches how to lead people into greater freedom from the influence of the enemy and to walk in the full protection of God (Ps 91, Eph 6). Q5: Intimacy with God *Supplemental Reading:* [*Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love*](https://www.amazon.com/Personal-Prayer-Guide-Receiving-Fathers/dp/1645850234?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG)*,* by Fr Thomas Acklin and Fr Boniface Hicks (find on Amazon or local retailer) ###### ***Course Description*** As the students have spent a majority of their time growing and cultivating their ministry gifts and skill sets, they need to understand the necessity of cultivating a greater and mature prayer life and become convinced that all fruitful ministry flows from intimacy with God. Jesus ultimately died for us not just so we could get to heaven, but that we could have the same kind of relationship that He enjoyed with the Father. Jesus modeled for us what intimacy looks like and this intimacy with the Father flows through Jesus in the Holy Spirit. From the richness of our vast spiritual tradition and the teaching of the spiritual doctors of the Church, students will learn how to engage in greater intimacy with God through scripture, meditative prayer, and contemplative prayer. They will dive into the riches in the Song of Songs, learn how to worship and seek after God’s own heart through the witness of David. Students will have an opportunity to grow in intercession, learn the practice of the discernment of spirits and cultivate a lifestyle of practicing the presence of God through abiding in Jesus. Q6: Advanced Ministry Training *Supplemental Reading: [*Lord, Renew Your Wonders*](https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Renew-Your-Wonders-Spiritual/dp/1593253230)*, by Damian Stayne* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving from leaders in each area of ministry from the first four quarters and coming to a new level of depth and effect that was not possible in the first year.*** In the sixth quarter, we will go into more advanced areas of ministry that we were not able to address in the first year.

In this quarter students will learn practical ways to effectively preach and present the Gospel to those in need of His salvation and grow in faith to demonstrate the reality of the kingdom through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Students will learn that evangelization accompanied by demonstrations of the power of God are part of our heritage going back to the early Church (1 Cor 2:3-5). Students will learn that the Church ultimately exists to evangelize and will be exposed to the rich tradition of teaching on evangelization we have as Catholics. They will learn how to present the basic Gospel message and the response that is necessary to the Gospel. Students will learn the power of testimony to opening someone up to faith in Jesus and how to effectively share their testimony. They will discover the keys to growing in faith and boldness to evangelize and practical ways to incorporate the prophetic gifts and healing for Evangelization.

To that end, God has put various dreams and visions on the hearts of the faithful to see the kingdom of God manifest in the world. In this quarter, we equip our students first with the faith that God wants to use them and see their kingdom dreams come to pass. He is looking for great saints that want to do great things in the world for him. Flowing from that reality, we will equip our students with practical tools and skills for the ability to both integrate what they’ve learned with existing parishes and communities as well as the wisdom and knowledge needed to launch to build and grow both new and existing apostolates or ministries. Students will also learn and be inspired by current leaders in the New Evangelization that have come before them as well to propel them to go forth from the school to build the kingdom of God in their spheres of influence. ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

Theologian Reviewed. Bishop Approved. ## theological review ***Scripture, Tradition, Church Fathers, Catholic Doctrine*** Before approval, our [curriculum](https://encounterschool.org/curriculum) undergoes a rigorous academic curriculum review with a team of respected Catholic theologians. Throughout the 2020-2021 academic year, [Encounter Ministries](https://encounterministries.us/) engaged in a rigorous academic curriculum review with a team of respected Catholic theologians to vet the Encounter School curriculum. Each professor was given full access to the content taught at the Encounter School for their selected quarters. Not only did they work to guarantee that the curriculum is free from moral and doctrinal error and rooted deeply in Scripture, official Church teaching and the testimony of the early Church fathers, but they helped to provide greater precision and accuracy in the curriculum to diminish possible confusion and ensure full continuity with Church teaching. ### Dr. Mary Healy Professor of Sacred Scripture Sacred Heart Major Seminary ### Dr. Alan Schreck Professor of Theology Franciscan University of Steubenville ### Dr. Daniel Keating Professor of Theology Sacred Heart Major Seminary ### Fr.

Our bishops have access to the entire curriculum and are informed of the model, [core values](https://encounterschool.org/classroom/#corevalues), structure and mission of the Encounter School of Ministry. Bishops provide us with a letter of approval, often accompanied with words of wisdom and encouragement, shared below. We feel it is so important to honor the authority entrusted to our bishops, and are so grateful for all the support we have received over the last several years. This school of ministry, rooted in the richness of the Catholic faith, will equip its participants as disciples with a wealth of theological and practical tools to deepen their identity and relationship with Christ, to live out the gifts of the Holy Spirit with boldness and joy, and to go forth and lead others to do the same. #### cardinal timothy dolan ###### archbishop of ny *“At a time when the whole Church is being called by the Spirit to new ways of mission, the Encounter School of Ministry points to discipleship as the ground of ministry and mission, a true discipleship born of the encounter with the Lord crucified and risen.

Designed and established from the heart of [*Encounter Ministries*](https://encounterministries.us), this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. - **Long Term Discipleship**: It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. - **Authentically Catholic**: We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. Our curriculum has been [reviewed by bishops and theologians.](https://encounterschool.org/approvals) ## location & schedule Led by a locally trained Campus Director and instructors, this satellite campus is a fully on-site program following the same ESM Curriculum as other campuses. Classes run mid-September through May. **Location: [Saint Peter’s Parish, 221 First Capitol Drive, Saint Charles, MO 63301](https://maps.app.goo.gl/rKXDyTtr4fF6cgYr5) **Class Times:** Thursdays, 5:30PM-9PM **Application Deadline:** Oct. 1 **Typical Class Night Schedule:** 5:30pm Praise & Worship, Testimonies \| 6:15pm Small Groups \| 6:45pm Session 1 \| 7:45pm Break \| 8:00pm Session 2 \| 9:00pm Class Ends ## class sessions ###### WEEKLY / IN-PERSON Each week, you will join your classmates on campus, where you will receive powerful training and practice opportunities. Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum Q1: Identity & transformation *Supplemental Reading: [Supernatural Saints ](https://www.amazon.com/Supernatural-Saints-School-Ministry/dp/B0BJ4RPFQW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13KG0BEMFNJ30&keywords=supernatural+saints+book+by+patrick+reis&qid=1688665970&sprefix=supernatural+saints%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-1)by Patrick Reis* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Building a foundation for all ministry on your royal identity as sons and daughters of God who experience transformation by the renewal of the mind.*** Before students receive teaching and training in particular areas of ministry, they need to know who they are and whose they are. The first quarter focuses on the royal identity we receive as sons and daughters of God who have received an inheritance to do the works of Jesus and even greater works (Jn 14:12). Throughout the quarter students work to shift from a performance based mentality where their value and identity comes from what they do for God and into an identity where their value comes from who they are as sons and daughters of God alone. Students learn about the nature of transformation by the renewal of the mind and seek to shift from thinking from an earthly perspective to a heavenly perspective in regard to ministry (Matt 16:23). In each class students come to understand and experience their identity as temples of the Holy Spirit, be convicted of the new nature we have received from Jesus through baptism, live in the power of the Holy Spirit and respond to the authority we have received to expand the kingdom of God for a life of mission. In each class, students encounter new realms of God’s love and how the Father sees us in Jesus. Q2: Hearing God’s Voice & the Prophetic Gifts of the Holy Spirit *Supplemental Reading: [The Spiritual Gifts Handbook](https://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Gifts-Handbook-Using-Kingdom/dp/0800798635/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2PF6PQU4LQYS7&keywords=spiritual+gifts+handbook&qid=1688666059&sprefix=spiritual+gifts+h%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-1) by Dr. Mary Healy and Dr. Randy Clark* ###### ***Course Description*** Jesus taught us that He is the good shepherd and we are his sheep and that we hear his voice (Jn 10:4). In the first part of this quarter, students will understand that their ability to hear God’s voice comes from who they are in God and not what they do for Him. Students will spend time learning the “language of the Holy Spirit” who speaks to us through us and the discernment needed to identify his voice from either our own or the enemy’s. After growing in greater understanding and confidence to hear God’s voice for their own life, students will learn what it means to share in Christ’s prophetic office (Lumen Gentium 12) and to seek out and discover the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit for ministry. As the Scripture teaches that we are to “earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, above all that we would prophesy” (1 Cor 14:1), our students come to understand that the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit are simply a matter of hearing God’s voice for the world around us that would have the effect of building up, encouraging and consoling others in Christ (1 Cor 14:3). In this quarter, students will have many creative opportunities for prophetic ministry with one another and opportunities for honest feedback and growth rooted in love. Q3: power & healing *Supplemental Reading: [Healing: Bringing the Gift of God’s Mercy to the World ](https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Bringing-Gift-Mercy-World/dp/1612788203/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314670&sr=8-1&keywords=healing+healy)by Dr. Mary Healy* ###### ***Course Description*** Before Jesus gave the Eucharist or even the Holy Spirit to his disciples, he called his disciples to preach the Gospel and expected them to heal the sick (Mt 10:7-8; Luke 10:9). Jesus never proclaimed the Gospel without demonstrating and confirming the message with accompanying demonstrations of power – with physical healing being the most frequent sign. In this quarter, students learn a theology of healing that includes the role of healing in evangelization and the wisdom that healing ministry is done from a place of love and compassion for the sick. They will also learn a basic non-Sacramental prayer model for healing ministry and receive many opportunities in a safe and humble environment to participate in healing prayer both as individuals and in team settings. Students will also receive sessions on understanding the role of faith in healing ministry, words of knowledge for healing, the power of peace and how to overcome the discouragement that we can experience when healing does not occur. Overall, students will gain greater confidence to respond to Jesus’ invitation that “all who believe” can be used by God to bring healing to the world around them (Mk 16:18). Q4: Inner Healing & Freedom *Supplemental Reading**: [Be Healed by Dr. Bob Schuchts](https://www.amazon.com/Be-Healed-Guide-Encountering-Powerful/dp/1594714762/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314813&sr=8-1&keywords=be+healed+bob+schuchts) and [*Deliverance Ministry* ](https://www.amazon.com/Deliverance-International-Charismatic-Doctrinal-Commission/dp/0578353571/ref=sr_1_2?crid=13T2PIE2LVC2K&keywords=deliverance+ministry+healy&qid=1662048078&sprefix=deliverance+ministry+healy%2Caps%2C76&sr=8-2)by International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services Doctrinal Commission*** ###### ***Course Description*** ***Getting equipped to participate in Jesus’ ministry of “healing the broken hearted and binding up their wounds.”*** God has revealed himself as the Lord who “heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Ps 147:3). In this quarter, students will be equipped to engage in the ministry of inner healing and freedom. Students will have the opportunity to grow in God’s heart and desire to see the broken made whole and seek to cultivate tools and skill sets to partner with the Holy Spirit to bring healing to the heart. Students will learn the anatomy of the wounds that we experience in life and how to partner with Jesus to bring freedom from the lies, unforgiveness and disorder that come as a result of these wounds. Jesus also desires his children to be free from the influence of evil spirits. This quarter also teaches how to lead people into greater freedom from the influence of the enemy and to walk in the full protection of God (Ps 91, Eph 6). Q5: Intimacy with God *Supplemental Reading:* [*Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love*](https://www.amazon.com/Personal-Prayer-Guide-Receiving-Fathers/dp/1645850234?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG)*,* by Fr Thomas Acklin and Fr Boniface Hicks (find on Amazon or local retailer) ###### ***Course Description*** As the students have spent a majority of their time growing and cultivating their ministry gifts and skill sets, they need to understand the necessity of cultivating a greater and mature prayer life and become convinced that all fruitful ministry flows from intimacy with God. Jesus ultimately died for us not just so we could get to heaven, but that we could have the same kind of relationship that He enjoyed with the Father. Jesus modeled for us what intimacy looks like and this intimacy with the Father flows through Jesus in the Holy Spirit. From the richness of our vast spiritual tradition and the teaching of the spiritual doctors of the Church, students will learn how to engage in greater intimacy with God through scripture, meditative prayer, and contemplative prayer. They will dive into the riches in the Song of Songs, learn how to worship and seek after God’s own heart through the witness of David. Students will have an opportunity to grow in intercession, learn the practice of the discernment of spirits and cultivate a lifestyle of practicing the presence of God through abiding in Jesus. Q6: Advanced Ministry Training *Supplemental Reading: [*Lord, Renew Your Wonders*](https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Renew-Your-Wonders-Spiritual/dp/1593253230)*, by Damian Stayne* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving from leaders in each area of ministry from the first four quarters and coming to a new level of depth and effect that was not possible in the first year.*** In the sixth quarter, we will go into more advanced areas of ministry that we were not able to address in the first year. In this quarter, seasoned leaders in each major area of ministry will be presenting to the students on advanced ministry approaches to seek greater fruitfulness and faith Q7: Power Evangelization *Supplemental Reading: **[*Do What Jesus Did*](https://www.amazon.com/Do-What-Jesus-Did-Real-Life/dp/0800795571/ref=sr_1_1?crid=21C540TOXJ6UH&keywords=do%20what%20jesus%20did%20robby%20dawkins&qid=1656816273&s=books&sprefix=do%20what%20jesu%2Cstripbooks%2C98&sr=1-1&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG),** by Robby Dawkins & **[*A New Pentecost for The New Evangelization*](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/A-New-Pentecost-for-the-New-Evangelization-Y2-Summer-Reading.pdf)**[](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/A-New-Pentecost-for-the-New-Evangelization-Y2-Summer-Reading.pdf)*,* by Dr. Ralph Martin* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving the Father’s heart for the lost and gaining the faith to preach the Gospel and partner with the Holy Spirit to demonstrate the reality and truth of the Gospel with the power of God that He has given us.*** Up until this point, all of the content that has been presented to the students can happen inside the four walls of the Church. In this quarter students will learn practical ways to effectively preach and present the Gospel to those in need of His salvation and grow in faith to demonstrate the reality of the kingdom through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Students will learn that evangelization accompanied by demonstrations of the power of God are part of our heritage going back to the early Church (1 Cor 2:3-5). Students will learn that the Church ultimately exists to evangelize and will be exposed to the rich tradition of teaching on evangelization we have as Catholics. They will learn how to present the basic Gospel message and the response that is necessary to the Gospel. Students will learn the power of testimony to opening someone up to faith in Jesus and how to effectively share their testimony. They will discover the keys to growing in faith and boldness to evangelize and practical ways to incorporate the prophetic gifts and healing for Evangelization. Q8: Leadership & deployment *Supplemental Reading: **[Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity](https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decree_19651118_apostolicam-actuositatem_en.html?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG)*** ###### ***Course Description*** ***Being prepared to get launched back into your sphere of influence to see the kingdom dreams become reality through equipping students to become leaders.*** Each member of the Church has received a call from God to participate in the Great Commission. To that end, God has put various dreams and visions on the hearts of the faithful to see the kingdom of God manifest in the world. In this quarter, we equip our students first with the faith that God wants to use them and see their kingdom dreams come to pass. He is looking for great saints that want to do great things in the world for him. Flowing from that reality, we will equip our students with practical tools and skills for the ability to both integrate what they’ve learned with existing parishes and communities as well as the wisdom and knowledge needed to launch to build and grow both new and existing apostolates or ministries. Students will also learn and be inspired by current leaders in the New Evangelization that have come before them as well to propel them to go forth from the school to build the kingdom of God in their spheres of influence. ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

[![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/red-playh.png "- Encounter School of Ministry") Video](https://youtu.be/89dWLQcjG7o) Jesus is God’s answer to evil, including sickness and disease. In Jesus, God reveals to us that he is good and it is his will to heal everyone of the cause and consequences of evil by inviting everyone to live with him in heaven where we will experience the fullness of the redemption Christ wrought for us in the Paschal Mystery. In this sense, we can say that God wills that all people to be healed. The question is when? Since the kingdom of heaven comes in the preaching of the gospel through the ministry of the Church, we believe that God wills to heal many people now, even if not all will be healed this side of heaven. In other words, we cannot say that God wills to heal everyone of their sicknesses in this life. Only in heaven will we experience the fullness of healing. Nevertheless, it is not up to us to decide who will be healed by not praying for healing. In fact, choosing not to pray for healing because we know that not everyone will be healed on this earth is like choosing not to take sick person to the hospital because some people don’t survive the treatment offered at hospitals. It’s our job to pray and God’s job to heal. If we choose not to pray for healing because of a misguided and premature judgment that it’s not God’s will to heal, we cannot conclude that the lack of healing is due to God’s mysterious will. We have found through praying with others that God wills to heal more people in this life than what most Catholics expect. Where does redemptive suffering fit in with healing? We believe what the Church teaches: there is absolutely no conflict between seeking healing from Jesus and offering up to the Father in union with Jesus one’s suffering that results from unhealed sickness or infirmity. The Church’s teaching on redemptive suffering, especially as articulated by John Paul II in his Apostolic Letter Salvifici Dolores (1984) is a profound truth that can help us grow in holiness and intercede for the salvation of the world. For example, in the absence of physical healing we can simply offer our suffering up as a prayer to Jesus like St. Paul modeled in Colossians 1:24 “Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the Church.” The paradox of our faith as witnessed by the New Testament and the tradition of the Church is that God is so good that he not only can save us from evil but also save us through evil. Look at the cross of Christ: the worst evil ever to happen in the history of the world is transformed by God into the greatest act of saving love in the history of the world. Do I need the “gift” of healing to pray for healing? No. To have a charism does not mean that you can perform a given activity but others without it can’t perform it at all. Rather, having a charism means that God has given a person the ability to perform an activity or deed with unusual frequency and effectiveness. For example, not all have the charism of teaching, but all can teach in some way (e.g., all parents teach their children). Not all have the charism of administration, but everyone can and must do some administration (at least of their own life!). Likewise with prophecy and healing. God can use ordinary Christians in extraordinary ways by means of faith, even if he uniquely equips some Christians with special charisms for his purposes. Moreover, in our school of ministry we have found that not only can God grant new charisms for those who seek them, we have also seen disciples grow and mature in their ability to use the charisms that God grants through developing our understanding of how to cooperate with his grace and through practice. Are lay people permitted to “lay hands” on the sick? [![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/red-playh.png "- Encounter School of Ministry") Watch Video](https://youtu.be/I1B7JSNZWM8) The gesture of laying on of hands is not limited to a bishop ordaining a priest or a priest when anointing someone with the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. Scripture itself teaches that one of the signs that will follow disciples of Jesus is that they will “lay their hands on the sick and they will recover” (Mk 16:18). While touching someone is not at all a requirement of any prayer ministry, we have found that when used prudently with the permission of the prayee, God can communicate graces into people’s lives through the humble and loving gesture of laying on of hands. What if I “lose” my healing? [![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/red-playh.png "- Encounter School of Ministry") **Video**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV2jvMLthww) We have found that occasionally people who experience authentic healing in their body (e.g. recovery of sight and hearing) can after a period of days and weeks begin to “lose” some of their healing (e.g, hearing/vision loss). How do we explain this? First, we must always remember that since healing is mysterious to us, we don’t have all of the answers. We are not always going to know why some get healed, why some do not, and why some maintain their healing and others do not. At the same time, we do know that the enemy has come to steal, kill, and destroy (Jn 10:10). Therefore, we should not be surprised if the Devil tries to steal a healing. In following-up with people who claim to have lost healings, we have found that many, though not all, admitted they gave into doubt as to whether or not Jesus really healed them and that after experiencing this doubt is when they experienced the loss of their healings. The parable of the seed and sower is instructive here. If the word of healing doesn’t find a place to land in the heart of the believer, the Devil can come and eat the seed that falls on the path. Second, it must be said that too often people claim to have received an authentic healing, when in fact they did not. They simply wanted it to be true and were in denial of their condition afterwards. These are much easier to detect as there is no real change of their condition before or after prayer. While we don’t understand everything, we do know that if we receive what God does for us in faith, we have a better chance of remaining in the grace of healing given by Jesus. Finally, if you have experienced the loss of an authentic healing, do not be discouraged. God loves to bring restoration. We encourage you to watch this clip by Dr. Mary Healy on how we can respond with great faith to lost healings. Medically verified healings [![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/red-playh.png "- Encounter School of Ministry") Gaby: Lupus, Endometriosis, and Ulcerative Colitis](https://youtu.be/oTCfkwNSoT0?si=473e1e77YX15jxZl) [![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/red-playh.png "- Encounter School of Ministry") Stage 4 Esophageal Cancer](https://youtu.be/lfy-PXgI0Yg?si=8jFAef72taWuDNZ6) Often in our healing services or other events, we will invite individuals to share testimonies of healing they believe they have received in their bodies. Although we do celebrate with them the healing they believe they have received, we do not yet consider these self-reporting testimonies as “healings” in the strict sense. The responsibility of authentic discernment rests with the individual and the person hearing the testimony. As a ministry, we believe the best verification of an authentic healing usually involves the confirmation of medical professionals. Just like Jesus had no problem instructing the lepers who were healed to verify their healings to the priests (Luke 5:14), at every service, we encourage all in attendance who do experience healing to seek medical verification and direct them to submit a healing testimony form on our website. We have multiple medical professionals who work with us to review the testimonies submitted to us and even offer to verify them when possible. We therefore distinguish between self-reported healings and medically verified healings. We tend to share these medically verified reports in our preaching and teaching. To submit a testimony, please visit <https://encounterministries.us/testimony/> Nevertheless, there are some testimonies of healing that need little verification in order to seem quite credible. (the healing of someone born deaf or the restoration of movement of one’s legs after decades long paralysis) What if I wasn’t healed? When people receive prayer for physical or emotional healing and do not see any improvement or complete healing, they can experience disappointment and discouragement. This can be especially difficult when they are receiving prayer at an event at which others are testifying to healings taking place. If someone isn’t healed at an event, we typically offer the following list of encouraging words. First, we have seen people experience progressive healings, in which they experience the full manifestation of a healing long after, sometimes hours, days, and weeks after the healing. ([See the example below)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCMgJyFgv0w). Second, a lack of desired healing breakthrough can be God’s invitation for us to persevere in prayer. Jesus teaches frequently in the gospels about the importance of persistence in prayer (Lk 11:5-8, Lk 18:1-8). Further, the paralytic that Jesus healed at the pool at Bethesda (Jn 5) had been persevering in search for healing for 38 years. Moreover, even Jesus didn’t heal everyone in Jerusalem as evidenced by the man born blind healed by Peter and John in Acts 3. Instead, Jesus willed to heal him through other people at a later time. Third, giving thanks to God for those who have experienced healing and celebrating what God is doing in others is a powerful antidote to the experience of sadness that sometimes comes when the Lord doesn’t answer our prayers in the way we want. Last and perhaps most important, your suffering is never meaningless. We must never forget so we can offer up all suffering to Jesus as intercession (Col 1:24) and we can have great faith that He will bring a greater good out of our suffering. ## **charisms** Are charisms part of an optional spirituality? [![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/red-playh.png "- Encounter School of Ministry") Video 1](https://youtu.be/uFDoNdgym1k) [![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/red-playh.png "- Encounter School of Ministry") Video 2](https://youtu.be/nKXZaVP0mo4) No. The Church teaches clearly that charisms are essential for Christians to exercise apostolate. (Cf. Vatican II, Apostolicam Actuositatem, 3) In fact, the Council also taught that the Church herself is both charismatic and hierarchical. (cf. Vatican II, Lumen Gentium, 4) Since God gives each Christian charisms to help them work for the renewal and building up of the Church, they cannot be considered optional in the mission of the Church. (cf. Lumen Gentium, 12). In 2016, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith taught clearly, “Such gifts are not to be considered optional in the life of the Church; rather ‘from the acceptance of these charisms, including those which are more elementary, there arises for each believer the right and duty to use them in the Church and in the world for the good of men and the building up of the Church, in the freedom of the Holy Spirit’. The authentic charisms, therefore, come to be considered as gifts of indispensable importance for the life and mission of the Church.” (Iuvenescit Ecclesia, 9) Charisms are tools of love that God gives so that we can complete our mission on earth. Charisms are not optional because love isn’t optional. In a very real sense, every Christian by their baptism is charismatic. What am I to make of people shaking, falling, laughing during some of your events? [![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/red-playh.png "- Encounter School of Ministry") Video](https://youtu.be/d_31NoyL3Kk) The Scripture is full of examples of bodily responses to the presence of God (what are referred to as manifestations), including, but not limited to, falling (Ezk 3:22-23, Dan 10:9, Rev 1:17), laughter (Psa 126:2), crying (Lk 7:38), trembling (Jeremiah 5:22), drunken behavior (Jeremiah 23:9), and shouting – (Ezra 3:13, Neh. 8:6-9,12:43, Ps 126:5). Although the Holy Spirit can be the cause of such manifestations, there is the potential for false or counterfeit manifestations which could be psychological or demonic in nature. Following the great tradition of St. Ignatius of Loyola and the spiritual doctors of the Church, we take discernment of spirits behind such manifestations very seriously. There are three possible sources of such manifestations: the Holy Spirit, the human spirit, or a demonic spirit. In our experience and according to the principles outlined in Scripture, the manifestation itself (crying, laughing, falling, shaking, etc) is not enough to discern the source. We need to understand what is happening with a person experiencing the manifestation. For example, crying can be caused by genuine repentance of sin or a profound experience of being loved by God. In some cases, it can also be the result of experiencing ungodly shame, fear or condemnation, which can be exacerbated by believing various lies of the enemy. The fruit and effect of the manifestation is necessary to exercising proper discernment of the manifestation (cf. Matt 7:15-20). In order to properly discern the source of manifestation, it’s both necessary to discuss with the person experiencing it what is happening interiorly and to examine the fruit that such experiences are bearing in the person’s life (i.e. whether or not that person is growing in virtue and love from their experiences). Because of the personal nature of each manifestation and the need for discernment about each case, it is irresponsible and dangerous to outright reject entire categories of bodily manifestations. Such a broad rejection, even in the name of discernment, would be itself a failure of proper discernment. We spend a significant amount of time helping our students understand and discern manifestations in the Encounter School of Ministry. Does Jesus reject signs and wonders as “an evil generation seeking a sign?” (Mt 16:4) In Matthew 16:4 Jesus said, “An evil and unfaithful generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Many Christians have taken this to be a rejection of the role of signs and wonders in the Church. Such interpretation is deeply erroneous and incongruent with the full context of the passage. A reading of the full passage shows that before Jesus made this statement, He had just performed incredible signs and wonders. “Great crowds came to him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute, and many others. They placed them at his feet, and he cured them. The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the deformed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind able to see, and they glorified the God of Israel” (Mt 15:30-31). Right after these signs and wonders, Jesus multiplied bread to feed 4,000 (Mt 15:32-39). After all these miracles, “The Pharisees and Sadducees came and, to test him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven” (Mt 16:1). Jesus’ response to them is to call the Pharisees and Sadducees an evil and unfaithful generation. Although they had witnessed him perform the preceding signs and wonders, their request for a sign was from the intention to test Jesus. Jesus was not rejecting signs and wonders, rather, he was rejecting the Pharisees and Sadducees testing of him.

Mathias Thelen - Sober Intoxication of the Spirit part 1 and part 2 by Fr Raniero Cantalamessa - Come Creator Spirit by Raniero Cantalamessa - Ordinary Christians Extraordinary Signs by Steve Dawson - Holy Spirit Make Your Home in Me by George Montague How do I know that a prophetic word delivered to me is really from God and not a false prophecy or work of the enemy? St. Paul considered prophecy the spiritual gift that we should all seek after because it has the effect of building up, encouraging and consoling others (cf. 1 Cor 14:1-3). Just because a person delivers a prophetic word does not necessarily mean it is authentic and from God. St. Paul taught that all prophetic words are ultimately partial (1 Cor 13:9) and require the discernment of the person receiving them (1 Thes 5:21). It is therefore a dual responsibility of discerning the authenticity of any prophetic word given. On the one hand it is the responsibility of the person delivering the words to do their best to hear from God and share what they are receiving. On the other hand, it is the responsibility of the one receiving a word to listen and discern with the Holy Spirit which of what they said is actually from God. The one receiving discerns the authenticity of the word in the context of his own lived relationship with God. What is Impartation? We sometimes use the term “impartation” to refer to the transference of a spiritual gift or grace that is operating in the life of one person to become operative in the life of another according to God’s mysterious will. Although God pours out spiritual gifts directly to us through the sacraments and through direct special sendings of the Spirit (according to St. Thomas Aquinas), it is also clear in Scripture that God can also give us special graces through the ministry and involvement of others who have already received those gifts. This sharing of graces through the ministry of others can be clearly observed throughout Scripture in the life of the prophet Elisha (2 Kings 2:9-15), Joshua (Deut 34:9), and St. Paul with the Ephesians (Acts 19:6) to name a few examples. This phenomena is not in any way to be compared to grace offered to us in the sacraments through the hierarchical dimension of the Church, but is to be understood as part of the mysterious charismatic working of the Spirit who gives graces to the Church through other members of the Church.

Countless students and graduates of the *Encounter School of Ministry* can testify that the school has led them into a deeper relationship with the Holy Trinity, with Christ as Savior and Lord, and with the Church as His body. Misguided rumors by certain Church figures have suggested that *Encounter Ministries* in effect denies the divinity of Christ by teaching that Jesus did his miracles by the power of the Holy Spirit. A glance at the teachings of the *Encounter School of Ministry* quickly brings to light the absurdity of this claim. *Encounter Ministries* bases its views in part on the writings of Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa, a noted patristics scholar who served for more than four decades as preacher to the papal household. As Cantalamessa explains, Jesus, the God-man, was already Messiah in his identity from the moment of his conception (see Luke 1:32), and possessed the Holy Spirit in fullness ontologically. But at his baptism he was invested as the Messiah (*Christos*) by being anointed (*echrisen*) with the Holy Spirit, in view of his anointing all the members of his body with the same Holy Spirit after his passion and resurrection. Jesus’ baptism “brings about something new in his life: a newness that is functional and not ontological.”[\[1\]](#_ftn1) It is by this anointing of the Spirit that Jesus carried out his miracles, healings, and casting out of demons. It is precisely from the descent of the Holy Spirit at Jesus’ baptism that his title Christ is derived, as the Fathers of the Church frequently noted. According to St. Irenaeus, “In the name of ‘Christ’ is implied the one who anointed, the one who was anointed and the anointing itself…. It is the Father who anointed, the Son who was anointed, and the Holy Spirit himself who was the anointing.”[\[2\]](#_ftn2) And St. Athanasius affirms: “It was for our sake that the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus in the Jordan. It was for our sanctification so that we might share in his anointing and so that it might be said of us, ‘Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Holy Spirit dwells in you?’”[\[3\]](#_ftn3) A few other quotations from Scripture and Church documents, which are used in Encounter’s curriculum on this topic, should suffice to show that this understanding is deeply rooted in Catholic tradition: The Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form, as a dove…. And **Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit**…. (Lk 3:22; 4:1) And **Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit** into Galilee…. (Lk 4:14) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because **he has anointed me** to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed. (Lk 4:18) **The power of the Lord was with him to heal**. (Lk 5:17) If **it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons**, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. (Mt 12:28) **God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power**… he went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. (Acts 10:38) St. Basil the Great: The things done in the dispensation of the coming of our Lord in the flesh—all is through the Spirit. In the first place He was made an unction, and being inseparably present was with the very flesh of the Lord, according to that which is written, Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining on Him (Jn 1:33), the same is my beloved Son (Mt 3:17) and Jesus of Nazareth whom God anointed with the Holy Ghost (Acts 10:38). **After this** **every operation was wrought with the co-operation of the Spirit**.[\[4\]](#_ftn4) Is it Christ’s advent? The Spirit is forerunner. Is there the incarnate presence? The Spirit is inseparable. **Working of miracles, and gifts of healing are through the Holy Spirit**. Demons were driven out by the Spirit of God. The devil was brought to naught by the presence of the Spirit. Remission of sins was by the gift of the Spirit, for you were washed, you were sanctified… in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the holy Spirit of our God.[\[5\]](#_ftn5) Pope Leo XIII: By the operation of the Holy Spirit, not only was the conception of Christ accomplished, but also the sanctification of His soul, which, in Holy Scripture, is called His “anointing” (Acts 10:38). Wherefore all His actions were “**performed in the Holy Spirit**,” and especially the sacrifice of Himself: “Christ, through the Holy Spirit, offered Himself without spot to God” (Heb 9:14). Considering this, no one can be surprised that all the gifts of the Holy Spirit inundated the soul of Christ. In Him resided the absolute fullness of grace, in the greatest and most efficacious manner possible; in Him were all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, *graces gratis datae*, virtues, and all other gifts foretold in the prophecies of Isaias (Is. iv., I; xi., 23), and also signified in that miraculous dove which appeared at the Jordan, when Christ, by His baptism, consecrated its waters for a new sacrament.[\[6\]](#_ftn6) Pope John Paul II: In the sacrifice of the Son of Man **the Holy Spirit is present and active** just as he acted in Jesus’ conception, in his coming into the world, in his hidden life and **in his public ministry**. According to the Letter to the Hebrews, on the way to his “departure” through Gethsemani and Golgotha, the same Christ Jesus in his own humanity opened himself totally to this action of the Spirit-Paraclete….[\[7\]](#_ftn7) Above all in the story of Jesus, the Holy Spirit unfolds his life-giving power: the fruit of Mary’s womb comes to life “by the power of the Holy Spirit” (Mt 1:18; cf. Lk 1:35). **Jesus’ entire mission is animated and directed by the Holy Spirit**; in a special way, the resurrection bears the stamp of “the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead” (Rom 8:11).[\[8\]](#_ftn8) Christ’s whole life was lived in the Holy Spirit. St Basil states that the Spirit was his “inseparable companion in everything” and offers us this marvelous summary of Christ’s history: “Christ’s coming: the Holy Spirit precedes; the Incarnation: **the Holy Spirit is present; miraculous works, graces and healings: through the Holy Spirit; demons are expelled, the devil is chained: through the Holy Spirit**….”[\[9\]](#_ftn9) Pope Francis: Today we reflect on the Holy Spirit who comes upon Jesus at the baptism in the Jordan and from Him is diffused in His body which is the Church…. Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit from the first moment of His Incarnation. But that was a “personal grace,” incommunicable; now, instead, **with this anointing, he receives the fullness of the gift of the Spirit, but through his mission which, as head, he will communicate to his body, which is the Church, and to each one of us**.[\[10\]](#_ftn10) [\[1\]](#_ftnref1) Raniero Cantalamessa, *Come, Creator Spirit* (Collegeville, MN: Liturgical Press, 2003, 2008), 155.

All school content is reviewed by trusted theologians and bishops to ensure it is free from moral and doctrinal error. However, where there is no conflict, *Encounter Ministries* does make use of insights from excellent Protestant leaders and preachers, from whom we Catholics can learn much. The Catholic Church teaches that there are “many elements of sanctification and truth” in Christian communities outside the visible bounds of the Catholic Church.[\[1\]](#_ftn1) Moreover, as Pope John Paul II noted, “certain features of the Christian mystery have at times been more effectively emphasized” by other Christians.[\[2\]](#_ftn2) Pope Francis wrote, “If we really believe in the abundantly free working of the Holy Spirit, we can learn so much from one another! It is not just about being better informed about others, but rather about reaping what the Spirit has sown in them, which is also meant to be a gift for us.”[\[3\]](#_ftn3) Indeed, dialogue with other Christians can help Catholics to deepen and clarify our own understanding of the gospel.[\[4\]](#_ftn4) It is also important to keep in mind that while there are many significant theological differences among Christian communities, nevertheless, “What unites us is much greater than what divides us.”[\[5\]](#_ftn5) Vatican Council II lists some of the many graces we share with non-Catholic members of the body of Christ: The Church recognizes that in many ways she is linked with those who, being baptized, are honored with the name of Christian, though they do not profess the faith in its entirety or do not preserve unity of communion with the successor of Peter. (14) For there are many who honor Sacred Scripture, taking it as a norm of belief and a pattern of life, and who show a sincere zeal. They lovingly believe in God the Father Almighty and in Christ, the Son of God and Savior. (15) They are consecrated by baptism, in which they are united with Christ. They also recognize and accept other sacraments within their own Churches or ecclesiastical communities. Many of them rejoice in the episcopate, celebrate the Holy Eucharist and cultivate devotion toward the Virgin Mother of God.(16) They also share with us in prayer and other spiritual benefits. Likewise we can say that in some real way they are joined with us in the Holy Spirit, for to them too He gives His gifts and graces whereby He is operative among them with His sanctifying power….[\[6\]](#_ftn6) When borrowing from the ideas of other Christians, Encounter always thoroughly vets them to ensure that all its teachings are in full accord with Catholic faith.

Does Encounter embrace “NAR theology”? No. *Encounter Ministries* strictly follows Catholic theology and doctrine. Even if some of our Catholic beliefs overlap with certain elements of the NAR, we reject all theology not aligned with Catholic teaching. It is important to avoid the fallacy of false equivalence, the idea that if two entities have some elements in common, they must be equivalent. An example would be thinking that because Catholicism, like Buddhism, has priests, sacrifices, monks, meditation, prayer beads, ascetic practices, and water rituals, therefore Catholicism is a form of Buddhism. In reality, despite the superficial similarities, they are utterly distinct. NAR, or New Apostolic Reformation, is not a formal organization or movement but rather an umbrella term coined by Protestant theologian *Peter Wagner* to describe a wide variety of neo-charismatic churches and ministries that have some features in common (see [this helpful article](https://firebrandmag.com/articles/neocharismatic-christianity-and-the-rise-of-the-new-apostolic-reformation)). Some of the theological emphases of NAR are also emphasized by *Encounter Ministries*, such as the role of signs and wonders in evangelization (see Mark 16:15-20), the value of the gift of prophecy (see 1 Corinthians 14:1-5), and the authority of all believers over evil spirits (see Mark 16:17; Luke 10:19). Other central NAR ideas are not shared by Encounter, such as the designation of certain individuals as “apostles,” the notion of strategic level spiritual warfare, and a particular approach to political and cultural engagement. ***Encounter Ministries* always carefully discerns any theological resources it uses and ensures that all its teachings are in full accord with Catholic faith**. Does Encounter Ministries endorse the “passion translation?” *Encounter Ministries* does **not** endorse or recommend *The Passion Translation* and does not currently use it in the *Encounter School of Ministry* curriculum. *The Passion Translation* is a devotional paraphrase and should not be treated as a reliable biblical translation for study, teaching, or doctrinal formation. In earlier years of the school, *The Passion Translation* was used in a limited way in our class on the Song of Songs. Our intention at the time was not to present it as a primary or authoritative translation of Sacred Scripture, but to offer a devotional perspective that could help students reflect on the spiritual sense of Scripture, as understood in Catholic tradition. However, after further review and in light of credible concerns that have been raised about *The Passion Translation*, we made the decision to discontinue its use. We are grateful for those who have raised thoughtful concerns in this area, and we remain committed to continually reviewing and strengthening our curriculum so that it faithfully serves the Church, honors Sacred Scripture, and supports the sound formation of our students. ###### Worship ###### Evangelism # Thank you to our faq contributors ### Fr.

Designed and established from the heart of [*Encounter Ministries*](https://encounterministries.us), this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. - **Long Term Discipleship**: It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. - **Authentically Catholic**: We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. Our curriculum has been [reviewed by bishops and theologians.](https://encounterschool.org/approvals) ## location & schedule Led by a locally trained Campus Director and instructors, this satellite campus is a fully on-site program following the same ESM Curriculum as other campuses. Classes run mid-September through May. **Location: [St. Timothy’s Parish, 21 Leith Hill Rd, North York, ON M2J 1Y9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Ete2bKs3ADgvRzVz9) **Class Times:** Mondays, 6:30PM-9:30PM **Application Deadline:** Oct. 1 **Typical Class Night Schedule:** 6:30 Praise & Worship, Testimonies \| 7:30 Small Groups \| 8:00 Session 1 \| 8:45 Session 2 ## class sessions ###### WEEKLY / IN-PERSON Each week, you will join your classmates on campus, where you will receive powerful training and practice opportunities. Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum Q1: Identity & transformation *Supplemental Reading: [Supernatural Saints ](https://www.amazon.com/Supernatural-Saints-School-Ministry/dp/B0BJ4RPFQW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13KG0BEMFNJ30&keywords=supernatural+saints+book+by+patrick+reis&qid=1688665970&sprefix=supernatural+saints%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-1)by Patrick Reis* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Building a foundation for all ministry on your royal identity as sons and daughters of God who experience transformation by the renewal of the mind.*** Before students receive teaching and training in particular areas of ministry, they need to know who they are and whose they are. The first quarter focuses on the royal identity we receive as sons and daughters of God who have received an inheritance to do the works of Jesus and even greater works (Jn 14:12). Throughout the quarter students work to shift from a performance based mentality where their value and identity comes from what they do for God and into an identity where their value comes from who they are as sons and daughters of God alone. Students learn about the nature of transformation by the renewal of the mind and seek to shift from thinking from an earthly perspective to a heavenly perspective in regard to ministry (Matt 16:23). In each class students come to understand and experience their identity as temples of the Holy Spirit, be convicted of the new nature we have received from Jesus through baptism, live in the power of the Holy Spirit and respond to the authority we have received to expand the kingdom of God for a life of mission. In each class, students encounter new realms of God’s love and how the Father sees us in Jesus. Q2: Hearing God’s Voice & the Prophetic Gifts of the Holy Spirit *Supplemental Reading: [The Spiritual Gifts Handbook](https://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Gifts-Handbook-Using-Kingdom/dp/0800798635/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2PF6PQU4LQYS7&keywords=spiritual+gifts+handbook&qid=1688666059&sprefix=spiritual+gifts+h%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-1) by Dr. Mary Healy and Dr. Randy Clark* ###### ***Course Description*** Jesus taught us that He is the good shepherd and we are his sheep and that we hear his voice (Jn 10:4). In the first part of this quarter, students will understand that their ability to hear God’s voice comes from who they are in God and not what they do for Him. Students will spend time learning the “language of the Holy Spirit” who speaks to us through us and the discernment needed to identify his voice from either our own or the enemy’s. After growing in greater understanding and confidence to hear God’s voice for their own life, students will learn what it means to share in Christ’s prophetic office (Lumen Gentium 12) and to seek out and discover the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit for ministry. As the Scripture teaches that we are to “earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, above all that we would prophesy” (1 Cor 14:1), our students come to understand that the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit are simply a matter of hearing God’s voice for the world around us that would have the effect of building up, encouraging and consoling others in Christ (1 Cor 14:3). In this quarter, students will have many creative opportunities for prophetic ministry with one another and opportunities for honest feedback and growth rooted in love. Q3: power & healing *Supplemental Reading: [Healing: Bringing the Gift of God’s Mercy to the World ](https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Bringing-Gift-Mercy-World/dp/1612788203/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314670&sr=8-1&keywords=healing+healy)by Dr. Mary Healy* ###### ***Course Description*** Before Jesus gave the Eucharist or even the Holy Spirit to his disciples, he called his disciples to preach the Gospel and expected them to heal the sick (Mt 10:7-8; Luke 10:9). Jesus never proclaimed the Gospel without demonstrating and confirming the message with accompanying demonstrations of power – with physical healing being the most frequent sign. In this quarter, students learn a theology of healing that includes the role of healing in evangelization and the wisdom that healing ministry is done from a place of love and compassion for the sick. They will also learn a basic non-Sacramental prayer model for healing ministry and receive many opportunities in a safe and humble environment to participate in healing prayer both as individuals and in team settings. Students will also receive sessions on understanding the role of faith in healing ministry, words of knowledge for healing, the power of peace and how to overcome the discouragement that we can experience when healing does not occur. Overall, students will gain greater confidence to respond to Jesus’ invitation that “all who believe” can be used by God to bring healing to the world around them (Mk 16:18). Q4: Inner Healing & Freedom *Supplemental Reading**: [Be Healed by Dr. Bob Schuchts](https://www.amazon.com/Be-Healed-Guide-Encountering-Powerful/dp/1594714762/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314813&sr=8-1&keywords=be+healed+bob+schuchts) and [*Deliverance Ministry* ](https://www.amazon.com/Deliverance-International-Charismatic-Doctrinal-Commission/dp/0578353571/ref=sr_1_2?crid=13T2PIE2LVC2K&keywords=deliverance+ministry+healy&qid=1662048078&sprefix=deliverance+ministry+healy%2Caps%2C76&sr=8-2)by International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services Doctrinal Commission*** ###### ***Course Description*** ***Getting equipped to participate in Jesus’ ministry of “healing the broken hearted and binding up their wounds.”*** God has revealed himself as the Lord who “heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Ps 147:3). In this quarter, students will be equipped to engage in the ministry of inner healing and freedom. Students will have the opportunity to grow in God’s heart and desire to see the broken made whole and seek to cultivate tools and skill sets to partner with the Holy Spirit to bring healing to the heart. Students will learn the anatomy of the wounds that we experience in life and how to partner with Jesus to bring freedom from the lies, unforgiveness and disorder that come as a result of these wounds. Jesus also desires his children to be free from the influence of evil spirits. This quarter also teaches how to lead people into greater freedom from the influence of the enemy and to walk in the full protection of God (Ps 91, Eph 6). Q5: Intimacy with God *Supplemental Reading:* [*Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love*](https://www.amazon.com/Personal-Prayer-Guide-Receiving-Fathers/dp/1645850234?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG)*,* by Fr Thomas Acklin and Fr Boniface Hicks (find on Amazon or local retailer) ###### ***Course Description*** As the students have spent a majority of their time growing and cultivating their ministry gifts and skill sets, they need to understand the necessity of cultivating a greater and mature prayer life and become convinced that all fruitful ministry flows from intimacy with God. Jesus ultimately died for us not just so we could get to heaven, but that we could have the same kind of relationship that He enjoyed with the Father. Jesus modeled for us what intimacy looks like and this intimacy with the Father flows through Jesus in the Holy Spirit. From the richness of our vast spiritual tradition and the teaching of the spiritual doctors of the Church, students will learn how to engage in greater intimacy with God through scripture, meditative prayer, and contemplative prayer. They will dive into the riches in the Song of Songs, learn how to worship and seek after God’s own heart through the witness of David. Students will have an opportunity to grow in intercession, learn the practice of the discernment of spirits and cultivate a lifestyle of practicing the presence of God through abiding in Jesus. Q6: Advanced Ministry Training *Supplemental Reading: [*Lord, Renew Your Wonders*](https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Renew-Your-Wonders-Spiritual/dp/1593253230)*, by Damian Stayne* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving from leaders in each area of ministry from the first four quarters and coming to a new level of depth and effect that was not possible in the first year.*** In the sixth quarter, we will go into more advanced areas of ministry that we were not able to address in the first year. In this quarter, seasoned leaders in each major area of ministry will be presenting to the students on advanced ministry approaches to seek greater fruitfulness and faith Q7: Power Evangelization *Supplemental Reading: **[*Do What Jesus Did*](https://www.amazon.com/Do-What-Jesus-Did-Real-Life/dp/0800795571/ref=sr_1_1?crid=21C540TOXJ6UH&keywords=do%20what%20jesus%20did%20robby%20dawkins&qid=1656816273&s=books&sprefix=do%20what%20jesu%2Cstripbooks%2C98&sr=1-1&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG),** by Robby Dawkins & **[*A New Pentecost for The New Evangelization*](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/A-New-Pentecost-for-the-New-Evangelization-Y2-Summer-Reading.pdf)**[](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/A-New-Pentecost-for-the-New-Evangelization-Y2-Summer-Reading.pdf)*,* by Dr. Ralph Martin* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving the Father’s heart for the lost and gaining the faith to preach the Gospel and partner with the Holy Spirit to demonstrate the reality and truth of the Gospel with the power of God that He has given us.*** Up until this point, all of the content that has been presented to the students can happen inside the four walls of the Church. In this quarter students will learn practical ways to effectively preach and present the Gospel to those in need of His salvation and grow in faith to demonstrate the reality of the kingdom through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Students will learn that evangelization accompanied by demonstrations of the power of God are part of our heritage going back to the early Church (1 Cor 2:3-5). Students will learn that the Church ultimately exists to evangelize and will be exposed to the rich tradition of teaching on evangelization we have as Catholics. They will learn how to present the basic Gospel message and the response that is necessary to the Gospel. Students will learn the power of testimony to opening someone up to faith in Jesus and how to effectively share their testimony.

To that end, God has put various dreams and visions on the hearts of the faithful to see the kingdom of God manifest in the world. In this quarter, we equip our students first with the faith that God wants to use them and see their kingdom dreams come to pass. He is looking for great saints that want to do great things in the world for him. Flowing from that reality, we will equip our students with practical tools and skills for the ability to both integrate what they’ve learned with existing parishes and communities as well as the wisdom and knowledge needed to launch to build and grow both new and existing apostolates or ministries. Students will also learn and be inspired by current leaders in the New Evangelization that have come before them as well to propel them to go forth from the school to build the kingdom of God in their spheres of influence. ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

Curriculum Q1: Identity & transformation *Supplemental Reading: [Supernatural Saints ](https://www.amazon.com/Supernatural-Saints-School-Ministry/dp/B0BJ4RPFQW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13KG0BEMFNJ30&keywords=supernatural+saints+book+by+patrick+reis&qid=1688665970&sprefix=supernatural+saints%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-1)by Patrick Reis* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Building a foundation for all ministry on your royal identity as sons and daughters of God who experience transformation by the renewal of the mind.*** Before students receive teaching and training in particular areas of ministry, they need to know who they are and whose they are. The first quarter focuses on the royal identity we receive as sons and daughters of God who have received an inheritance to do the works of Jesus and even greater works (Jn 14:12). Throughout the quarter students work to shift from a performance based mentality where their value and identity comes from what they do for God and into an identity where their value comes from who they are as sons and daughters of God alone. Students learn about the nature of transformation by the renewal of the mind and seek to shift from thinking from an earthly perspective to a heavenly perspective in regard to ministry (Matt 16:23). In each class students come to understand and experience their identity as temples of the Holy Spirit, be convicted of the new nature we have received from Jesus through baptism, live in the power of the Holy Spirit and respond to the authority we have received to expand the kingdom of God for a life of mission. In each class, students encounter new realms of God’s love and how the Father sees us in Jesus. Q2: Hearing God’s Voice & the Prophetic Gifts of the Holy Spirit *Supplemental Reading: [The Spiritual Gifts Handbook](https://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Gifts-Handbook-Using-Kingdom/dp/0800798635/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2PF6PQU4LQYS7&keywords=spiritual+gifts+handbook&qid=1688666059&sprefix=spiritual+gifts+h%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-1) by Dr. Mary Healy and Dr. Randy Clark* ###### ***Course Description*** Jesus taught us that He is the good shepherd and we are his sheep and that we hear his voice (Jn 10:4). In the first part of this quarter, students will understand that their ability to hear God’s voice comes from who they are in God and not what they do for Him. Students will spend time learning the “language of the Holy Spirit” who speaks to us through us and the discernment needed to identify his voice from either our own or the enemy’s. After growing in greater understanding and confidence to hear God’s voice for their own life, students will learn what it means to share in Christ’s prophetic office (Lumen Gentium 12) and to seek out and discover the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit for ministry. As the Scripture teaches that we are to “earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, above all that we would prophesy” (1 Cor 14:1), our students come to understand that the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit are simply a matter of hearing God’s voice for the world around us that would have the effect of building up, encouraging and consoling others in Christ (1 Cor 14:3). In this quarter, students will have many creative opportunities for prophetic ministry with one another and opportunities for honest feedback and growth rooted in love. Q3: power & healing *Supplemental Reading: [Healing: Bringing the Gift of God’s Mercy to the World ](https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Bringing-Gift-Mercy-World/dp/1612788203/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314670&sr=8-1&keywords=healing+healy)by Dr. Mary Healy* ###### ***Course Description*** Before Jesus gave the Eucharist or even the Holy Spirit to his disciples, he called his disciples to preach the Gospel and expected them to heal the sick (Mt 10:7-8; Luke 10:9). Jesus never proclaimed the Gospel without demonstrating and confirming the message with accompanying demonstrations of power – with physical healing being the most frequent sign. In this quarter, students learn a theology of healing that includes the role of healing in evangelization and the wisdom that healing ministry is done from a place of love and compassion for the sick. They will also learn a basic non-Sacramental prayer model for healing ministry and receive many opportunities in a safe and humble environment to participate in healing prayer both as individuals and in team settings. Students will also receive sessions on understanding the role of faith in healing ministry, words of knowledge for healing, the power of peace and how to overcome the discouragement that we can experience when healing does not occur. Overall, students will gain greater confidence to respond to Jesus’ invitation that “all who believe” can be used by God to bring healing to the world around them (Mk 16:18). Q4: Inner Healing & Freedom *Supplemental Reading**: [Be Healed by Dr. Bob Schuchts](https://www.amazon.com/Be-Healed-Guide-Encountering-Powerful/dp/1594714762/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314813&sr=8-1&keywords=be+healed+bob+schuchts) and [*Deliverance Ministry* ](https://www.amazon.com/Deliverance-International-Charismatic-Doctrinal-Commission/dp/0578353571/ref=sr_1_2?crid=13T2PIE2LVC2K&keywords=deliverance+ministry+healy&qid=1662048078&sprefix=deliverance+ministry+healy%2Caps%2C76&sr=8-2)by International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services Doctrinal Commission*** ###### ***Course Description*** ***Getting equipped to participate in Jesus’ ministry of “healing the broken hearted and binding up their wounds.”*** God has revealed himself as the Lord who “heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Ps 147:3). In this quarter, students will be equipped to engage in the ministry of inner healing and freedom. Students will have the opportunity to grow in God’s heart and desire to see the broken made whole and seek to cultivate tools and skill sets to partner with the Holy Spirit to bring healing to the heart. Students will learn the anatomy of the wounds that we experience in life and how to partner with Jesus to bring freedom from the lies, unforgiveness and disorder that come as a result of these wounds. Jesus also desires his children to be free from the influence of evil spirits. This quarter also teaches how to lead people into greater freedom from the influence of the enemy and to walk in the full protection of God (Ps 91, Eph 6). Q5: Intimacy with God *Supplemental Reading:* [*Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love*](https://www.amazon.com/Personal-Prayer-Guide-Receiving-Fathers/dp/1645850234?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG)*,* by Fr Thomas Acklin and Fr Boniface Hicks (find on Amazon or local retailer) ###### ***Course Description*** As the students have spent a majority of their time growing and cultivating their ministry gifts and skill sets, they need to understand the necessity of cultivating a greater and mature prayer life and become convinced that all fruitful ministry flows from intimacy with God. Jesus ultimately died for us not just so we could get to heaven, but that we could have the same kind of relationship that He enjoyed with the Father. Jesus modeled for us what intimacy looks like and this intimacy with the Father flows through Jesus in the Holy Spirit. From the richness of our vast spiritual tradition and the teaching of the spiritual doctors of the Church, students will learn how to engage in greater intimacy with God through scripture, meditative prayer, and contemplative prayer. They will dive into the riches in the Song of Songs, learn how to worship and seek after God’s own heart through the witness of David. Students will have an opportunity to grow in intercession, learn the practice of the discernment of spirits and cultivate a lifestyle of practicing the presence of God through abiding in Jesus. Q6: Advanced Ministry Training *Supplemental Reading: [*Lord, Renew Your Wonders*](https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Renew-Your-Wonders-Spiritual/dp/1593253230)*, by Damian Stayne* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving from leaders in each area of ministry from the first four quarters and coming to a new level of depth and effect that was not possible in the first year.*** In the sixth quarter, we will go into more advanced areas of ministry that we were not able to address in the first year. In this quarter, seasoned leaders in each major area of ministry will be presenting to the students on advanced ministry approaches to seek greater fruitfulness and faith Q7: Power Evangelization *Supplemental Reading: **[*Do What Jesus Did*](https://www.amazon.com/Do-What-Jesus-Did-Real-Life/dp/0800795571/ref=sr_1_1?crid=21C540TOXJ6UH&keywords=do%20what%20jesus%20did%20robby%20dawkins&qid=1656816273&s=books&sprefix=do%20what%20jesu%2Cstripbooks%2C98&sr=1-1&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG),** by Robby Dawkins & **[*A New Pentecost for The New Evangelization*](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/A-New-Pentecost-for-the-New-Evangelization-Y2-Summer-Reading.pdf)**[](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/A-New-Pentecost-for-the-New-Evangelization-Y2-Summer-Reading.pdf)*,* by Dr. Ralph Martin* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving the Father’s heart for the lost and gaining the faith to preach the Gospel and partner with the Holy Spirit to demonstrate the reality and truth of the Gospel with the power of God that He has given us.*** Up until this point, all of the content that has been presented to the students can happen inside the four walls of the Church. In this quarter students will learn practical ways to effectively preach and present the Gospel to those in need of His salvation and grow in faith to demonstrate the reality of the kingdom through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Students will learn that evangelization accompanied by demonstrations of the power of God are part of our heritage going back to the early Church (1 Cor 2:3-5). Students will learn that the Church ultimately exists to evangelize and will be exposed to the rich tradition of teaching on evangelization we have as Catholics. They will learn how to present the basic Gospel message and the response that is necessary to the Gospel. Students will learn the power of testimony to opening someone up to faith in Jesus and how to effectively share their testimony. They will discover the keys to growing in faith and boldness to evangelize and practical ways to incorporate the prophetic gifts and healing for Evangelization. Q8: Leadership & deployment *Supplemental Reading: **[Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity](https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decree_19651118_apostolicam-actuositatem_en.html?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG)*** ###### ***Course Description*** ***Being prepared to get launched back into your sphere of influence to see the kingdom dreams become reality through equipping students to become leaders.*** Each member of the Church has received a call from God to participate in the Great Commission. To that end, God has put various dreams and visions on the hearts of the faithful to see the kingdom of God manifest in the world. In this quarter, we equip our students first with the faith that God wants to use them and see their kingdom dreams come to pass. He is looking for great saints that want to do great things in the world for him. Flowing from that reality, we will equip our students with practical tools and skills for the ability to both integrate what they’ve learned with existing parishes and communities as well as the wisdom and knowledge needed to launch to build and grow both new and existing apostolates or ministries. Students will also learn and be inspired by current leaders in the New Evangelization that have come before them as well to propel them to go forth from the school to build the kingdom of God in their spheres of influence. ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

Curriculum Q1: Identity & transformation *Supplemental Reading: [Supernatural Saints ](https://www.amazon.com/Supernatural-Saints-School-Ministry/dp/B0BJ4RPFQW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13KG0BEMFNJ30&keywords=supernatural+saints+book+by+patrick+reis&qid=1688665970&sprefix=supernatural+saints%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-1)by Patrick Reis* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Building a foundation for all ministry on your royal identity as sons and daughters of God who experience transformation by the renewal of the mind.*** Before students receive teaching and training in particular areas of ministry, they need to know who they are and whose they are. The first quarter focuses on the royal identity we receive as sons and daughters of God who have received an inheritance to do the works of Jesus and even greater works (Jn 14:12). Throughout the quarter students work to shift from a performance based mentality where their value and identity comes from what they do for God and into an identity where their value comes from who they are as sons and daughters of God alone. Students learn about the nature of transformation by the renewal of the mind and seek to shift from thinking from an earthly perspective to a heavenly perspective in regard to ministry (Matt 16:23). In each class students come to understand and experience their identity as temples of the Holy Spirit, be convicted of the new nature we have received from Jesus through baptism, live in the power of the Holy Spirit and respond to the authority we have received to expand the kingdom of God for a life of mission. In each class, students encounter new realms of God’s love and how the Father sees us in Jesus. Q2: Hearing God’s Voice & the Prophetic Gifts of the Holy Spirit *Supplemental Reading: [The Spiritual Gifts Handbook](https://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Gifts-Handbook-Using-Kingdom/dp/0800798635/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2PF6PQU4LQYS7&keywords=spiritual+gifts+handbook&qid=1688666059&sprefix=spiritual+gifts+h%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-1) by Dr. Mary Healy and Dr. Randy Clark* ###### ***Course Description*** Jesus taught us that He is the good shepherd and we are his sheep and that we hear his voice (Jn 10:4). In the first part of this quarter, students will understand that their ability to hear God’s voice comes from who they are in God and not what they do for Him. Students will spend time learning the “language of the Holy Spirit” who speaks to us through us and the discernment needed to identify his voice from either our own or the enemy’s. After growing in greater understanding and confidence to hear God’s voice for their own life, students will learn what it means to share in Christ’s prophetic office (Lumen Gentium 12) and to seek out and discover the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit for ministry. As the Scripture teaches that we are to “earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, above all that we would prophesy” (1 Cor 14:1), our students come to understand that the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit are simply a matter of hearing God’s voice for the world around us that would have the effect of building up, encouraging and consoling others in Christ (1 Cor 14:3). In this quarter, students will have many creative opportunities for prophetic ministry with one another and opportunities for honest feedback and growth rooted in love. Q3: power & healing *Supplemental Reading: [Healing: Bringing the Gift of God’s Mercy to the World ](https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Bringing-Gift-Mercy-World/dp/1612788203/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314670&sr=8-1&keywords=healing+healy)by Dr. Mary Healy* ###### ***Course Description*** Before Jesus gave the Eucharist or even the Holy Spirit to his disciples, he called his disciples to preach the Gospel and expected them to heal the sick (Mt 10:7-8; Luke 10:9). Jesus never proclaimed the Gospel without demonstrating and confirming the message with accompanying demonstrations of power – with physical healing being the most frequent sign. In this quarter, students learn a theology of healing that includes the role of healing in evangelization and the wisdom that healing ministry is done from a place of love and compassion for the sick. They will also learn a basic non-Sacramental prayer model for healing ministry and receive many opportunities in a safe and humble environment to participate in healing prayer both as individuals and in team settings. Students will also receive sessions on understanding the role of faith in healing ministry, words of knowledge for healing, the power of peace and how to overcome the discouragement that we can experience when healing does not occur. Overall, students will gain greater confidence to respond to Jesus’ invitation that “all who believe” can be used by God to bring healing to the world around them (Mk 16:18). Q4: Inner Healing & Freedom *Supplemental Reading**: [Be Healed by Dr. Bob Schuchts](https://www.amazon.com/Be-Healed-Guide-Encountering-Powerful/dp/1594714762/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314813&sr=8-1&keywords=be+healed+bob+schuchts) and [*Deliverance Ministry* ](https://www.amazon.com/Deliverance-International-Charismatic-Doctrinal-Commission/dp/0578353571/ref=sr_1_2?crid=13T2PIE2LVC2K&keywords=deliverance+ministry+healy&qid=1662048078&sprefix=deliverance+ministry+healy%2Caps%2C76&sr=8-2)by International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services Doctrinal Commission*** ###### ***Course Description*** ***Getting equipped to participate in Jesus’ ministry of “healing the broken hearted and binding up their wounds.”*** God has revealed himself as the Lord who “heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Ps 147:3). In this quarter, students will be equipped to engage in the ministry of inner healing and freedom. Students will have the opportunity to grow in God’s heart and desire to see the broken made whole and seek to cultivate tools and skill sets to partner with the Holy Spirit to bring healing to the heart. Students will learn the anatomy of the wounds that we experience in life and how to partner with Jesus to bring freedom from the lies, unforgiveness and disorder that come as a result of these wounds. Jesus also desires his children to be free from the influence of evil spirits. This quarter also teaches how to lead people into greater freedom from the influence of the enemy and to walk in the full protection of God (Ps 91, Eph 6). Q5: Intimacy with God *Supplemental Reading:* [*Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love*](https://www.amazon.com/Personal-Prayer-Guide-Receiving-Fathers/dp/1645850234?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG)*,* by Fr Thomas Acklin and Fr Boniface Hicks (find on Amazon or local retailer) ###### ***Course Description*** As the students have spent a majority of their time growing and cultivating their ministry gifts and skill sets, they need to understand the necessity of cultivating a greater and mature prayer life and become convinced that all fruitful ministry flows from intimacy with God. Jesus ultimately died for us not just so we could get to heaven, but that we could have the same kind of relationship that He enjoyed with the Father. Jesus modeled for us what intimacy looks like and this intimacy with the Father flows through Jesus in the Holy Spirit. From the richness of our vast spiritual tradition and the teaching of the spiritual doctors of the Church, students will learn how to engage in greater intimacy with God through scripture, meditative prayer, and contemplative prayer. They will dive into the riches in the Song of Songs, learn how to worship and seek after God’s own heart through the witness of David. Students will have an opportunity to grow in intercession, learn the practice of the discernment of spirits and cultivate a lifestyle of practicing the presence of God through abiding in Jesus. Q6: Advanced Ministry Training *Supplemental Reading: [*Lord, Renew Your Wonders*](https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Renew-Your-Wonders-Spiritual/dp/1593253230)*, by Damian Stayne* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving from leaders in each area of ministry from the first four quarters and coming to a new level of depth and effect that was not possible in the first year.*** In the sixth quarter, we will go into more advanced areas of ministry that we were not able to address in the first year. In this quarter, seasoned leaders in each major area of ministry will be presenting to the students on advanced ministry approaches to seek greater fruitfulness and faith Q7: Power Evangelization *Supplemental Reading: **[*Do What Jesus Did*](https://www.amazon.com/Do-What-Jesus-Did-Real-Life/dp/0800795571/ref=sr_1_1?crid=21C540TOXJ6UH&keywords=do%20what%20jesus%20did%20robby%20dawkins&qid=1656816273&s=books&sprefix=do%20what%20jesu%2Cstripbooks%2C98&sr=1-1&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG),** by Robby Dawkins & **[*A New Pentecost for The New Evangelization*](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/A-New-Pentecost-for-the-New-Evangelization-Y2-Summer-Reading.pdf)**[](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/A-New-Pentecost-for-the-New-Evangelization-Y2-Summer-Reading.pdf)*,* by Dr. Ralph Martin* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving the Father’s heart for the lost and gaining the faith to preach the Gospel and partner with the Holy Spirit to demonstrate the reality and truth of the Gospel with the power of God that He has given us.*** Up until this point, all of the content that has been presented to the students can happen inside the four walls of the Church. In this quarter students will learn practical ways to effectively preach and present the Gospel to those in need of His salvation and grow in faith to demonstrate the reality of the kingdom through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Students will learn that evangelization accompanied by demonstrations of the power of God are part of our heritage going back to the early Church (1 Cor 2:3-5). Students will learn that the Church ultimately exists to evangelize and will be exposed to the rich tradition of teaching on evangelization we have as Catholics. They will learn how to present the basic Gospel message and the response that is necessary to the Gospel. Students will learn the power of testimony to opening someone up to faith in Jesus and how to effectively share their testimony. They will discover the keys to growing in faith and boldness to evangelize and practical ways to incorporate the prophetic gifts and healing for Evangelization. Q8: Leadership & deployment *Supplemental Reading: **[Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity](https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decree_19651118_apostolicam-actuositatem_en.html?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG)*** ###### ***Course Description*** ***Being prepared to get launched back into your sphere of influence to see the kingdom dreams become reality through equipping students to become leaders.*** Each member of the Church has received a call from God to participate in the Great Commission. To that end, God has put various dreams and visions on the hearts of the faithful to see the kingdom of God manifest in the world. In this quarter, we equip our students first with the faith that God wants to use them and see their kingdom dreams come to pass. He is looking for great saints that want to do great things in the world for him. Flowing from that reality, we will equip our students with practical tools and skills for the ability to both integrate what they’ve learned with existing parishes and communities as well as the wisdom and knowledge needed to launch to build and grow both new and existing apostolates or ministries. Students will also learn and be inspired by current leaders in the New Evangelization that have come before them as well to propel them to go forth from the school to build the kingdom of God in their spheres of influence. ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

Designed and established from the heart of [*Encounter Ministries*](https://encounterministries.us), this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. - **Long Term Discipleship**: It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. - **Authentically Catholic**: We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. Our curriculum has been [reviewed by bishops and theologians.](https://encounterschool.org/approvals) ## location & schedule Led by a locally trained Campus Director and instructors, this satellite campus is a fully on-site program following the same ESM Curriculum as other campuses. Classes run mid-September through May. **Location: [St. John Paul the Great Catholic High School, 2330 S Sherman St, Denver, CO 80210](https://maps.app.goo.gl/kzYLHEiquZkfEVib9) **Class Times:** Tuesdays, 6PM-9PM **Application Deadline:** Oct. 1 **Typical Class Night Schedule:** 6:00 Praise & Worship \| 6:30 Small Group \| 7:00 Session 1 \| 7:50 Break \| 8:00 Session 2 \| 9:00 Dismissal contact ## class sessions ###### WEEKLY / IN-PERSON Each week, you will join your classmates on campus, where you will receive powerful training and practice opportunities. Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum Q1: Identity & transformation *Supplemental Reading: [Supernatural Saints ](https://www.amazon.com/Supernatural-Saints-School-Ministry/dp/B0BJ4RPFQW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13KG0BEMFNJ30&keywords=supernatural+saints+book+by+patrick+reis&qid=1688665970&sprefix=supernatural+saints%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-1)by Patrick Reis* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Building a foundation for all ministry on your royal identity as sons and daughters of God who experience transformation by the renewal of the mind.*** Before students receive teaching and training in particular areas of ministry, they need to know who they are and whose they are. The first quarter focuses on the royal identity we receive as sons and daughters of God who have received an inheritance to do the works of Jesus and even greater works (Jn 14:12). Throughout the quarter students work to shift from a performance based mentality where their value and identity comes from what they do for God and into an identity where their value comes from who they are as sons and daughters of God alone. Students learn about the nature of transformation by the renewal of the mind and seek to shift from thinking from an earthly perspective to a heavenly perspective in regard to ministry (Matt 16:23). In each class students come to understand and experience their identity as temples of the Holy Spirit, be convicted of the new nature we have received from Jesus through baptism, live in the power of the Holy Spirit and respond to the authority we have received to expand the kingdom of God for a life of mission. In each class, students encounter new realms of God’s love and how the Father sees us in Jesus. Q2: Hearing God’s Voice & the Prophetic Gifts of the Holy Spirit *Supplemental Reading: [The Spiritual Gifts Handbook](https://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Gifts-Handbook-Using-Kingdom/dp/0800798635/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2PF6PQU4LQYS7&keywords=spiritual+gifts+handbook&qid=1688666059&sprefix=spiritual+gifts+h%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-1) by Dr. Mary Healy and Dr. Randy Clark* ###### ***Course Description*** Jesus taught us that He is the good shepherd and we are his sheep and that we hear his voice (Jn 10:4). In the first part of this quarter, students will understand that their ability to hear God’s voice comes from who they are in God and not what they do for Him. Students will spend time learning the “language of the Holy Spirit” who speaks to us through us and the discernment needed to identify his voice from either our own or the enemy’s. After growing in greater understanding and confidence to hear God’s voice for their own life, students will learn what it means to share in Christ’s prophetic office (Lumen Gentium 12) and to seek out and discover the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit for ministry. As the Scripture teaches that we are to “earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, above all that we would prophesy” (1 Cor 14:1), our students come to understand that the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit are simply a matter of hearing God’s voice for the world around us that would have the effect of building up, encouraging and consoling others in Christ (1 Cor 14:3). In this quarter, students will have many creative opportunities for prophetic ministry with one another and opportunities for honest feedback and growth rooted in love. Q3: power & healing *Supplemental Reading: [Healing: Bringing the Gift of God’s Mercy to the World ](https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Bringing-Gift-Mercy-World/dp/1612788203/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314670&sr=8-1&keywords=healing+healy)by Dr. Mary Healy* ###### ***Course Description*** Before Jesus gave the Eucharist or even the Holy Spirit to his disciples, he called his disciples to preach the Gospel and expected them to heal the sick (Mt 10:7-8; Luke 10:9). Jesus never proclaimed the Gospel without demonstrating and confirming the message with accompanying demonstrations of power – with physical healing being the most frequent sign. In this quarter, students learn a theology of healing that includes the role of healing in evangelization and the wisdom that healing ministry is done from a place of love and compassion for the sick. They will also learn a basic non-Sacramental prayer model for healing ministry and receive many opportunities in a safe and humble environment to participate in healing prayer both as individuals and in team settings. Students will also receive sessions on understanding the role of faith in healing ministry, words of knowledge for healing, the power of peace and how to overcome the discouragement that we can experience when healing does not occur. Overall, students will gain greater confidence to respond to Jesus’ invitation that “all who believe” can be used by God to bring healing to the world around them (Mk 16:18). Q4: Inner Healing & Freedom *Supplemental Reading**: [Be Healed by Dr. Bob Schuchts](https://www.amazon.com/Be-Healed-Guide-Encountering-Powerful/dp/1594714762/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314813&sr=8-1&keywords=be+healed+bob+schuchts) and [*Deliverance Ministry* ](https://www.amazon.com/Deliverance-International-Charismatic-Doctrinal-Commission/dp/0578353571/ref=sr_1_2?crid=13T2PIE2LVC2K&keywords=deliverance+ministry+healy&qid=1662048078&sprefix=deliverance+ministry+healy%2Caps%2C76&sr=8-2)by International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services Doctrinal Commission*** ###### ***Course Description*** ***Getting equipped to participate in Jesus’ ministry of “healing the broken hearted and binding up their wounds.”*** God has revealed himself as the Lord who “heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Ps 147:3). In this quarter, students will be equipped to engage in the ministry of inner healing and freedom. Students will have the opportunity to grow in God’s heart and desire to see the broken made whole and seek to cultivate tools and skill sets to partner with the Holy Spirit to bring healing to the heart. Students will learn the anatomy of the wounds that we experience in life and how to partner with Jesus to bring freedom from the lies, unforgiveness and disorder that come as a result of these wounds. Jesus also desires his children to be free from the influence of evil spirits. This quarter also teaches how to lead people into greater freedom from the influence of the enemy and to walk in the full protection of God (Ps 91, Eph 6). Q5: Intimacy with God *Supplemental Reading:* [*Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love*](https://www.amazon.com/Personal-Prayer-Guide-Receiving-Fathers/dp/1645850234?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG)*,* by Fr Thomas Acklin and Fr Boniface Hicks (find on Amazon or local retailer) ###### ***Course Description*** As the students have spent a majority of their time growing and cultivating their ministry gifts and skill sets, they need to understand the necessity of cultivating a greater and mature prayer life and become convinced that all fruitful ministry flows from intimacy with God. Jesus ultimately died for us not just so we could get to heaven, but that we could have the same kind of relationship that He enjoyed with the Father. Jesus modeled for us what intimacy looks like and this intimacy with the Father flows through Jesus in the Holy Spirit. From the richness of our vast spiritual tradition and the teaching of the spiritual doctors of the Church, students will learn how to engage in greater intimacy with God through scripture, meditative prayer, and contemplative prayer. They will dive into the riches in the Song of Songs, learn how to worship and seek after God’s own heart through the witness of David. Students will have an opportunity to grow in intercession, learn the practice of the discernment of spirits and cultivate a lifestyle of practicing the presence of God through abiding in Jesus. Q6: Advanced Ministry Training *Supplemental Reading: [*Lord, Renew Your Wonders*](https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Renew-Your-Wonders-Spiritual/dp/1593253230)*, by Damian Stayne* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving from leaders in each area of ministry from the first four quarters and coming to a new level of depth and effect that was not possible in the first year.*** In the sixth quarter, we will go into more advanced areas of ministry that we were not able to address in the first year. In this quarter, seasoned leaders in each major area of ministry will be presenting to the students on advanced ministry approaches to seek greater fruitfulness and faith Q7: Power Evangelization *Supplemental Reading: **[*Do What Jesus Did*](https://www.amazon.com/Do-What-Jesus-Did-Real-Life/dp/0800795571/ref=sr_1_1?crid=21C540TOXJ6UH&keywords=do%20what%20jesus%20did%20robby%20dawkins&qid=1656816273&s=books&sprefix=do%20what%20jesu%2Cstripbooks%2C98&sr=1-1&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG),** by Robby Dawkins & **[*A New Pentecost for The New Evangelization*](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/A-New-Pentecost-for-the-New-Evangelization-Y2-Summer-Reading.pdf)**[](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/A-New-Pentecost-for-the-New-Evangelization-Y2-Summer-Reading.pdf)*,* by Dr. Ralph Martin* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving the Father’s heart for the lost and gaining the faith to preach the Gospel and partner with the Holy Spirit to demonstrate the reality and truth of the Gospel with the power of God that He has given us.*** Up until this point, all of the content that has been presented to the students can happen inside the four walls of the Church. In this quarter students will learn practical ways to effectively preach and present the Gospel to those in need of His salvation and grow in faith to demonstrate the reality of the kingdom through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Students will learn that evangelization accompanied by demonstrations of the power of God are part of our heritage going back to the early Church (1 Cor 2:3-5). Students will learn that the Church ultimately exists to evangelize and will be exposed to the rich tradition of teaching on evangelization we have as Catholics. They will learn how to present the basic Gospel message and the response that is necessary to the Gospel. Students will learn the power of testimony to opening someone up to faith in Jesus and how to effectively share their testimony. They will discover the keys to growing in faith and boldness to evangelize and practical ways to incorporate the prophetic gifts and healing for Evangelization. Q8: Leadership & deployment *Supplemental Reading: **[Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity](https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decree_19651118_apostolicam-actuositatem_en.html?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG)*** ###### ***Course Description*** ***Being prepared to get launched back into your sphere of influence to see the kingdom dreams become reality through equipping students to become leaders.*** Each member of the Church has received a call from God to participate in the Great Commission. To that end, God has put various dreams and visions on the hearts of the faithful to see the kingdom of God manifest in the world. In this quarter, we equip our students first with the faith that God wants to use them and see their kingdom dreams come to pass. He is looking for great saints that want to do great things in the world for him. Flowing from that reality, we will equip our students with practical tools and skills for the ability to both integrate what they’ve learned with existing parishes and communities as well as the wisdom and knowledge needed to launch to build and grow both new and existing apostolates or ministries. Students will also learn and be inspired by current leaders in the New Evangelization that have come before them as well to propel them to go forth from the school to build the kingdom of God in their spheres of influence. ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

Valerie is a woman of many passions. She has a Master’s degree in Oil, Gas, and Energy Law and has built successful businesses in the energy, agriculture, and carbon management sectors alongside her husband. For Valerie, however, her greatest joy is found not in business but in her primary vocation as a mother. This role has been central to her spiritual growth, strengthening her relationship with the Holy Trinity and Mary and teaching her to rely on the Lord for peace, patience, and fortitude. Valerie’s heart for serving others began as a freshman in high school and has been an active part of her life for over 25 years. She’s served on missions in the United States and internationally in places like Brazil, Mexico, and Belize. She and her husband see their lives, even locally in Denver, as a mission with the Lord, raising their five children to have the same heart for others. They have even taken their children on missions to Belize, where they did street evangelization, homebound ministry, and manual labor in the poorest areas of Belize City.

Designed and established from the heart of [*Encounter Ministries*](https://encounterministries.us), this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. - **Long Term Discipleship**: It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. - **Authentically Catholic**: We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. Our curriculum has been [reviewed by bishops and theologians.](https://encounterschool.org/approvals) ## location & schedule Led by a locally trained Campus Director and instructors, this satellite campus is a fully on-site program following the same ESM Curriculum as other campuses. Classes run mid-September through May. **![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/icn-location.png "icn-location - Encounter School of Ministry") Location: **Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church,** 223 E. Summit Ave, San Antonio, TX 78212 **Class Times:** Mondays, 5:45PM-9PM **Application Deadline:** Oct. 1 **Typical Class Night Schedule:** 5:45pm Praise & Worship, Testimonies \| 6:30pm Session 1 \| 7:30pm Session 2 \| 8:45pm Small Groups contact ## class sessions ###### WEEKLY / IN-PERSON Each week, you will join your classmates on campus, where you will receive powerful training and practice opportunities. Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum Q1: Identity & transformation *Supplemental Reading: [Supernatural Saints ](https://www.amazon.com/Supernatural-Saints-School-Ministry/dp/B0BJ4RPFQW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13KG0BEMFNJ30&keywords=supernatural+saints+book+by+patrick+reis&qid=1688665970&sprefix=supernatural+saints%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-1)by Patrick Reis* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Building a foundation for all ministry on your royal identity as sons and daughters of God who experience transformation by the renewal of the mind.*** Before students receive teaching and training in particular areas of ministry, they need to know who they are and whose they are. The first quarter focuses on the royal identity we receive as sons and daughters of God who have received an inheritance to do the works of Jesus and even greater works (Jn 14:12). Throughout the quarter students work to shift from a performance based mentality where their value and identity comes from what they do for God and into an identity where their value comes from who they are as sons and daughters of God alone. Students learn about the nature of transformation by the renewal of the mind and seek to shift from thinking from an earthly perspective to a heavenly perspective in regard to ministry (Matt 16:23). In each class students come to understand and experience their identity as temples of the Holy Spirit, be convicted of the new nature we have received from Jesus through baptism, live in the power of the Holy Spirit and respond to the authority we have received to expand the kingdom of God for a life of mission. In each class, students encounter new realms of God’s love and how the Father sees us in Jesus. Q2: Hearing God’s Voice & the Prophetic Gifts of the Holy Spirit *Supplemental Reading: [The Spiritual Gifts Handbook](https://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Gifts-Handbook-Using-Kingdom/dp/0800798635/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2PF6PQU4LQYS7&keywords=spiritual+gifts+handbook&qid=1688666059&sprefix=spiritual+gifts+h%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-1) by Dr. Mary Healy and Dr. Randy Clark* ###### ***Course Description*** Jesus taught us that He is the good shepherd and we are his sheep and that we hear his voice (Jn 10:4). In the first part of this quarter, students will understand that their ability to hear God’s voice comes from who they are in God and not what they do for Him. Students will spend time learning the “language of the Holy Spirit” who speaks to us through us and the discernment needed to identify his voice from either our own or the enemy’s. After growing in greater understanding and confidence to hear God’s voice for their own life, students will learn what it means to share in Christ’s prophetic office (Lumen Gentium 12) and to seek out and discover the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit for ministry. As the Scripture teaches that we are to “earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, above all that we would prophesy” (1 Cor 14:1), our students come to understand that the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit are simply a matter of hearing God’s voice for the world around us that would have the effect of building up, encouraging and consoling others in Christ (1 Cor 14:3). In this quarter, students will have many creative opportunities for prophetic ministry with one another and opportunities for honest feedback and growth rooted in love. Q3: power & healing *Supplemental Reading: [Healing: Bringing the Gift of God’s Mercy to the World ](https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Bringing-Gift-Mercy-World/dp/1612788203/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314670&sr=8-1&keywords=healing+healy)by Dr. Mary Healy* ###### ***Course Description*** Before Jesus gave the Eucharist or even the Holy Spirit to his disciples, he called his disciples to preach the Gospel and expected them to heal the sick (Mt 10:7-8; Luke 10:9). Jesus never proclaimed the Gospel without demonstrating and confirming the message with accompanying demonstrations of power – with physical healing being the most frequent sign. In this quarter, students learn a theology of healing that includes the role of healing in evangelization and the wisdom that healing ministry is done from a place of love and compassion for the sick. They will also learn a basic non-Sacramental prayer model for healing ministry and receive many opportunities in a safe and humble environment to participate in healing prayer both as individuals and in team settings. Students will also receive sessions on understanding the role of faith in healing ministry, words of knowledge for healing, the power of peace and how to overcome the discouragement that we can experience when healing does not occur. Overall, students will gain greater confidence to respond to Jesus’ invitation that “all who believe” can be used by God to bring healing to the world around them (Mk 16:18). Q4: Inner Healing & Freedom *Supplemental Reading**: [Be Healed by Dr. Bob Schuchts](https://www.amazon.com/Be-Healed-Guide-Encountering-Powerful/dp/1594714762/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314813&sr=8-1&keywords=be+healed+bob+schuchts) and [*Deliverance Ministry* ](https://www.amazon.com/Deliverance-International-Charismatic-Doctrinal-Commission/dp/0578353571/ref=sr_1_2?crid=13T2PIE2LVC2K&keywords=deliverance+ministry+healy&qid=1662048078&sprefix=deliverance+ministry+healy%2Caps%2C76&sr=8-2)by International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services Doctrinal Commission*** ###### ***Course Description*** ***Getting equipped to participate in Jesus’ ministry of “healing the broken hearted and binding up their wounds.”*** God has revealed himself as the Lord who “heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Ps 147:3). In this quarter, students will be equipped to engage in the ministry of inner healing and freedom. Students will have the opportunity to grow in God’s heart and desire to see the broken made whole and seek to cultivate tools and skill sets to partner with the Holy Spirit to bring healing to the heart. Students will learn the anatomy of the wounds that we experience in life and how to partner with Jesus to bring freedom from the lies, unforgiveness and disorder that come as a result of these wounds. Jesus also desires his children to be free from the influence of evil spirits. This quarter also teaches how to lead people into greater freedom from the influence of the enemy and to walk in the full protection of God (Ps 91, Eph 6). Q5: Intimacy with God *Supplemental Reading:* [*Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love*](https://www.amazon.com/Personal-Prayer-Guide-Receiving-Fathers/dp/1645850234?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG)*,* by Fr Thomas Acklin and Fr Boniface Hicks (find on Amazon or local retailer) ###### ***Course Description*** As the students have spent a majority of their time growing and cultivating their ministry gifts and skill sets, they need to understand the necessity of cultivating a greater and mature prayer life and become convinced that all fruitful ministry flows from intimacy with God. Jesus ultimately died for us not just so we could get to heaven, but that we could have the same kind of relationship that He enjoyed with the Father. Jesus modeled for us what intimacy looks like and this intimacy with the Father flows through Jesus in the Holy Spirit. From the richness of our vast spiritual tradition and the teaching of the spiritual doctors of the Church, students will learn how to engage in greater intimacy with God through scripture, meditative prayer, and contemplative prayer. They will dive into the riches in the Song of Songs, learn how to worship and seek after God’s own heart through the witness of David. Students will have an opportunity to grow in intercession, learn the practice of the discernment of spirits and cultivate a lifestyle of practicing the presence of God through abiding in Jesus. Q6: Advanced Ministry Training *Supplemental Reading: [*Lord, Renew Your Wonders*](https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Renew-Your-Wonders-Spiritual/dp/1593253230)*, by Damian Stayne* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving from leaders in each area of ministry from the first four quarters and coming to a new level of depth and effect that was not possible in the first year.*** In the sixth quarter, we will go into more advanced areas of ministry that we were not able to address in the first year. In this quarter, seasoned leaders in each major area of ministry will be presenting to the students on advanced ministry approaches to seek greater fruitfulness and faith Q7: Power Evangelization *Supplemental Reading: **[*Do What Jesus Did*](https://www.amazon.com/Do-What-Jesus-Did-Real-Life/dp/0800795571/ref=sr_1_1?crid=21C540TOXJ6UH&keywords=do%20what%20jesus%20did%20robby%20dawkins&qid=1656816273&s=books&sprefix=do%20what%20jesu%2Cstripbooks%2C98&sr=1-1&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG),** by Robby Dawkins & **[*A New Pentecost for The New Evangelization*](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/A-New-Pentecost-for-the-New-Evangelization-Y2-Summer-Reading.pdf)**[](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/A-New-Pentecost-for-the-New-Evangelization-Y2-Summer-Reading.pdf)*,* by Dr. Ralph Martin* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving the Father’s heart for the lost and gaining the faith to preach the Gospel and partner with the Holy Spirit to demonstrate the reality and truth of the Gospel with the power of God that He has given us.*** Up until this point, all of the content that has been presented to the students can happen inside the four walls of the Church. In this quarter students will learn practical ways to effectively preach and present the Gospel to those in need of His salvation and grow in faith to demonstrate the reality of the kingdom through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Students will learn that evangelization accompanied by demonstrations of the power of God are part of our heritage going back to the early Church (1 Cor 2:3-5). Students will learn that the Church ultimately exists to evangelize and will be exposed to the rich tradition of teaching on evangelization we have as Catholics. They will learn how to present the basic Gospel message and the response that is necessary to the Gospel. Students will learn the power of testimony to opening someone up to faith in Jesus and how to effectively share their testimony. They will discover the keys to growing in faith and boldness to evangelize and practical ways to incorporate the prophetic gifts and healing for Evangelization. Q8: Leadership & deployment *Supplemental Reading: **[Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity](https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decree_19651118_apostolicam-actuositatem_en.html?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG)*** ###### ***Course Description*** ***Being prepared to get launched back into your sphere of influence to see the kingdom dreams become reality through equipping students to become leaders.*** Each member of the Church has received a call from God to participate in the Great Commission. To that end, God has put various dreams and visions on the hearts of the faithful to see the kingdom of God manifest in the world. In this quarter, we equip our students first with the faith that God wants to use them and see their kingdom dreams come to pass. He is looking for great saints that want to do great things in the world for him. Flowing from that reality, we will equip our students with practical tools and skills for the ability to both integrate what they’ve learned with existing parishes and communities as well as the wisdom and knowledge needed to launch to build and grow both new and existing apostolates or ministries. Students will also learn and be inspired by current leaders in the New Evangelization that have come before them as well to propel them to go forth from the school to build the kingdom of God in their spheres of influence. ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum Q1: Identity & transformation *Supplemental Reading: [Supernatural Saints ](https://www.amazon.com/Supernatural-Saints-School-Ministry/dp/B0BJ4RPFQW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13KG0BEMFNJ30&keywords=supernatural+saints+book+by+patrick+reis&qid=1688665970&sprefix=supernatural+saints%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-1)by Patrick Reis* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Building a foundation for all ministry on your royal identity as sons and daughters of God who experience transformation by the renewal of the mind.*** Before students receive teaching and training in particular areas of ministry, they need to know who they are and whose they are. The first quarter focuses on the royal identity we receive as sons and daughters of God who have received an inheritance to do the works of Jesus and even greater works (Jn 14:12). Throughout the quarter students work to shift from a performance based mentality where their value and identity comes from what they do for God and into an identity where their value comes from who they are as sons and daughters of God alone. Students learn about the nature of transformation by the renewal of the mind and seek to shift from thinking from an earthly perspective to a heavenly perspective in regard to ministry (Matt 16:23). In each class students come to understand and experience their identity as temples of the Holy Spirit, be convicted of the new nature we have received from Jesus through baptism, live in the power of the Holy Spirit and respond to the authority we have received to expand the kingdom of God for a life of mission. In each class, students encounter new realms of God’s love and how the Father sees us in Jesus. Q2: Hearing God’s Voice & the Prophetic Gifts of the Holy Spirit *Supplemental Reading: [The Spiritual Gifts Handbook](https://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Gifts-Handbook-Using-Kingdom/dp/0800798635/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2PF6PQU4LQYS7&keywords=spiritual+gifts+handbook&qid=1688666059&sprefix=spiritual+gifts+h%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-1) by Dr. Mary Healy and Dr. Randy Clark* ###### ***Course Description*** Jesus taught us that He is the good shepherd and we are his sheep and that we hear his voice (Jn 10:4). In the first part of this quarter, students will understand that their ability to hear God’s voice comes from who they are in God and not what they do for Him. Students will spend time learning the “language of the Holy Spirit” who speaks to us through us and the discernment needed to identify his voice from either our own or the enemy’s. After growing in greater understanding and confidence to hear God’s voice for their own life, students will learn what it means to share in Christ’s prophetic office (Lumen Gentium 12) and to seek out and discover the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit for ministry. As the Scripture teaches that we are to “earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, above all that we would prophesy” (1 Cor 14:1), our students come to understand that the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit are simply a matter of hearing God’s voice for the world around us that would have the effect of building up, encouraging and consoling others in Christ (1 Cor 14:3). In this quarter, students will have many creative opportunities for prophetic ministry with one another and opportunities for honest feedback and growth rooted in love. Q3: power & healing *Supplemental Reading: [Healing: Bringing the Gift of God’s Mercy to the World ](https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Bringing-Gift-Mercy-World/dp/1612788203/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314670&sr=8-1&keywords=healing+healy)by Dr. Mary Healy* ###### ***Course Description*** Before Jesus gave the Eucharist or even the Holy Spirit to his disciples, he called his disciples to preach the Gospel and expected them to heal the sick (Mt 10:7-8; Luke 10:9). Jesus never proclaimed the Gospel without demonstrating and confirming the message with accompanying demonstrations of power – with physical healing being the most frequent sign. In this quarter, students learn a theology of healing that includes the role of healing in evangelization and the wisdom that healing ministry is done from a place of love and compassion for the sick. They will also learn a basic non-Sacramental prayer model for healing ministry and receive many opportunities in a safe and humble environment to participate in healing prayer both as individuals and in team settings. Students will also receive sessions on understanding the role of faith in healing ministry, words of knowledge for healing, the power of peace and how to overcome the discouragement that we can experience when healing does not occur. Overall, students will gain greater confidence to respond to Jesus’ invitation that “all who believe” can be used by God to bring healing to the world around them (Mk 16:18). Q4: Inner Healing & Freedom *Supplemental Reading**: [Be Healed by Dr. Bob Schuchts](https://www.amazon.com/Be-Healed-Guide-Encountering-Powerful/dp/1594714762/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314813&sr=8-1&keywords=be+healed+bob+schuchts) and [*Deliverance Ministry* ](https://www.amazon.com/Deliverance-International-Charismatic-Doctrinal-Commission/dp/0578353571/ref=sr_1_2?crid=13T2PIE2LVC2K&keywords=deliverance+ministry+healy&qid=1662048078&sprefix=deliverance+ministry+healy%2Caps%2C76&sr=8-2)by International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services Doctrinal Commission*** ###### ***Course Description*** ***Getting equipped to participate in Jesus’ ministry of “healing the broken hearted and binding up their wounds.”*** God has revealed himself as the Lord who “heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Ps 147:3). In this quarter, students will be equipped to engage in the ministry of inner healing and freedom. Students will have the opportunity to grow in God’s heart and desire to see the broken made whole and seek to cultivate tools and skill sets to partner with the Holy Spirit to bring healing to the heart. Students will learn the anatomy of the wounds that we experience in life and how to partner with Jesus to bring freedom from the lies, unforgiveness and disorder that come as a result of these wounds. Jesus also desires his children to be free from the influence of evil spirits. This quarter also teaches how to lead people into greater freedom from the influence of the enemy and to walk in the full protection of God (Ps 91, Eph 6). Q5: Intimacy with God *Supplemental Reading:* [*Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love*](https://www.amazon.com/Personal-Prayer-Guide-Receiving-Fathers/dp/1645850234?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG)*,* by Fr Thomas Acklin and Fr Boniface Hicks (find on Amazon or local retailer) ###### ***Course Description*** As the students have spent a majority of their time growing and cultivating their ministry gifts and skill sets, they need to understand the necessity of cultivating a greater and mature prayer life and become convinced that all fruitful ministry flows from intimacy with God. Jesus ultimately died for us not just so we could get to heaven, but that we could have the same kind of relationship that He enjoyed with the Father. Jesus modeled for us what intimacy looks like and this intimacy with the Father flows through Jesus in the Holy Spirit. From the richness of our vast spiritual tradition and the teaching of the spiritual doctors of the Church, students will learn how to engage in greater intimacy with God through scripture, meditative prayer, and contemplative prayer. They will dive into the riches in the Song of Songs, learn how to worship and seek after God’s own heart through the witness of David. Students will have an opportunity to grow in intercession, learn the practice of the discernment of spirits and cultivate a lifestyle of practicing the presence of God through abiding in Jesus. Q6: Advanced Ministry Training *Supplemental Reading: [*Lord, Renew Your Wonders*](https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Renew-Your-Wonders-Spiritual/dp/1593253230)*, by Damian Stayne* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving from leaders in each area of ministry from the first four quarters and coming to a new level of depth and effect that was not possible in the first year.*** In the sixth quarter, we will go into more advanced areas of ministry that we were not able to address in the first year. In this quarter, seasoned leaders in each major area of ministry will be presenting to the students on advanced ministry approaches to seek greater fruitfulness and faith Q7: Power Evangelization *Supplemental Reading: **[*Do What Jesus Did*](https://www.amazon.com/Do-What-Jesus-Did-Real-Life/dp/0800795571/ref=sr_1_1?crid=21C540TOXJ6UH&keywords=do%20what%20jesus%20did%20robby%20dawkins&qid=1656816273&s=books&sprefix=do%20what%20jesu%2Cstripbooks%2C98&sr=1-1&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG),** by Robby Dawkins & **[*A New Pentecost for The New Evangelization*](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/A-New-Pentecost-for-the-New-Evangelization-Y2-Summer-Reading.pdf)**[](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/A-New-Pentecost-for-the-New-Evangelization-Y2-Summer-Reading.pdf)*,* by Dr. Ralph Martin* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving the Father’s heart for the lost and gaining the faith to preach the Gospel and partner with the Holy Spirit to demonstrate the reality and truth of the Gospel with the power of God that He has given us.*** Up until this point, all of the content that has been presented to the students can happen inside the four walls of the Church. In this quarter students will learn practical ways to effectively preach and present the Gospel to those in need of His salvation and grow in faith to demonstrate the reality of the kingdom through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Students will learn that evangelization accompanied by demonstrations of the power of God are part of our heritage going back to the early Church (1 Cor 2:3-5). Students will learn that the Church ultimately exists to evangelize and will be exposed to the rich tradition of teaching on evangelization we have as Catholics. They will learn how to present the basic Gospel message and the response that is necessary to the Gospel. Students will learn the power of testimony to opening someone up to faith in Jesus and how to effectively share their testimony. They will discover the keys to growing in faith and boldness to evangelize and practical ways to incorporate the prophetic gifts and healing for Evangelization. Q8: Leadership & deployment *Supplemental Reading: **[Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity](https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decree_19651118_apostolicam-actuositatem_en.html?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG)*** ###### ***Course Description*** ***Being prepared to get launched back into your sphere of influence to see the kingdom dreams become reality through equipping students to become leaders.*** Each member of the Church has received a call from God to participate in the Great Commission. To that end, God has put various dreams and visions on the hearts of the faithful to see the kingdom of God manifest in the world. In this quarter, we equip our students first with the faith that God wants to use them and see their kingdom dreams come to pass. He is looking for great saints that want to do great things in the world for him. Flowing from that reality, we will equip our students with practical tools and skills for the ability to both integrate what they’ve learned with existing parishes and communities as well as the wisdom and knowledge needed to launch to build and grow both new and existing apostolates or ministries. Students will also learn and be inspired by current leaders in the New Evangelization that have come before them as well to propel them to go forth from the school to build the kingdom of God in their spheres of influence. ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

Classes run mid-September through May. **Location: [NET Ministries, Inc., 110 Crusader Ave W, West St Paul, MN 55118](https://maps.app.goo.gl/6hAX3t2z2CqDA4837)** **Class Start Date:** September 21st **Class Times:** Mondays, 6PM-9PM **Application Deadline:** Oct. 1 **Typical Class Night Schedule:** 6:00 Praise & Worship \| 6:30 Session 1 \| 7:45 Session 2 \| 8:45 Small Group Time \| 9:00 Dismissal ## class sessions ###### WEEKLY / IN-PERSON Each week, you will join your classmates on campus, where you will receive powerful training and practice opportunities. Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

Designed and established from the heart of [*Encounter Ministries*](https://encounterministries.us), this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. - **Long Term Discipleship**: It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. - **Authentically Catholic**: We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. Our curriculum has been [reviewed by bishops and theologians.](https://encounterschool.org/approvals) ## location & schedule Led by a locally trained Campus Director and instructors, this satellite campus is a fully on-site program following the same ESM Curriculum as other campuses. Classes run mid-September through May. **![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/icn-location.png "icn-location - Encounter School of Ministry") Location:** [St. Philip the Apostle Church, 151 S.

Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

Designed and established from the heart of [*Encounter Ministries*](https://encounterministries.us), this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. - **Long Term Discipleship**: It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. - **Authentically Catholic**: We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. Our curriculum has been [reviewed by bishops and theologians.](https://encounterschool.org/approvals) ## location & schedule Led by a locally trained Campus Director and instructors, this satellite campus is a fully on-site program following the same ESM Curriculum as other campuses. Classes run mid-September through May. **Locations: ![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/flag_english.jpg "flag_english - Encounter School of Ministry")** [**St. Frances of Rome School,** ](https://www.google.com/maps?q=st+frances+of+rome+school+chicago&rlz=1C1VDKB_enUS982US982&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj096TJu8D8AhVNrYkEHRDjDtoQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw)[**1401 S Austin Blvd, Cicero, IL 60804**](https://www.google.com/maps?q=st+frances+of+rome+school+chicago&rlz=1C1VDKB_enUS982US982&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj096TJu8D8AhVNrYkEHRDjDtoQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw) **![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/flag_espanol.jpg "flag_espanol - Encounter School of Ministry") [Campus de español](https://es.encounterschool.org/chicago/):** St. Frances of Rome School, 1401 S Austin Blvd, Cicero, IL 60804 [(Horario de clases >)](https://es.encounterschool.org/chicago/) **Class Times:** Mondays, 5:30PM-9PM **Application Deadline:** Oct. 1 **Typical Class Night Schedule:** 5:30 Praise & Worship • 6:25 Small Groups & Testimonies • 6:45 Session 1 • 7:45 Break • 8:00 Session 2 • 9:00 Dismissal contact ## class sessions ###### WEEKLY / IN-PERSON Each week, you will join your classmates on campus, where you will receive powerful training and practice opportunities. Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

Designed and established from the heart of [*Encounter Ministries*](https://encounterministries.us), this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. - **Long Term Discipleship**: It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. - **Authentically Catholic**: We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. Our curriculum has been [reviewed by bishops and theologians.](https://encounterschool.org/approvals) ## location & schedule Led by a locally trained Campus Director and instructors, this satellite campus is a fully on-site program following the same ESM Curriculum as other campuses. Classes run mid-September through May. **Location: [National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa, 654 Ferry Rd, Doylestown, PA 18901](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ib55TYVUHme7FjPr5)** The Doylestown Campus is located on the grounds of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Doylestown, PA.

Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness..

Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

Designed and established from the heart of [*Encounter Ministries*](https://encounterministries.us), this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. - **Long Term Discipleship**: It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. - **Authentically Catholic**: We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. Our curriculum has been [reviewed by bishops and theologians.](https://encounterschool.org/approvals) ## location & schedule Led by a locally trained Campus Director and instructors, this satellite campus is a fully on-site program following the same ESM Curriculum as other campuses. Classes run mid-September through May. **![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/icn-location.png "icn-location - Encounter School of Ministry") Location: [Cathedral of St. Ignatius of Loyola, 9999 N Military Trail, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410](https://goo.gl/maps/ni1eqVx9cDDmayDr7) **Class Times:** Mondays, 5:30PM (Worship), 6-9PM (Class) **Application Deadline:** Oct. 1 contact ## class sessions ###### WEEKLY / IN-PERSON Each week, you will join your classmates on campus, where you will receive powerful training and practice opportunities. Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

Dr. Jaimee is first and foremost a daughter of the Most High King. She is also blessed to be mother to her teenage daughter and has been able to provide for her little family through her work as a clinical psychologist. Called to her vocation by God, Dr. Jaimee loves that she is able to integrate the Catholic understanding of the human person with her training in clinical psychology and bring healing to those in need. Her relationship with the Holy Spirit started at the tender age of 15 when she was confirmed, when her love and desire for knowledge and wisdom was ignited and her devotion to the Holy Spirit took root. Dr. Jaimee was blessed to be mentored by incredible women in the local charismatic movement. She experienced another baptism in the Holy Spirit in her mid-twenties after a reversion experience and despite a season of separation from the Lord and His Church, He ignited an even deeper love for Him that she has since wanted to pour out to all He brings to her. The deepest desire of Dr. Jaimee’s heart is for ALL to encounter the Living God and His profound love through the healing and restoring power of the Holy Spirit. “I believe the teachings of Encounter ministry can help ALL to experience such healing, so that ALL can step wholeheartedly into their God-given identity and inheritance as sons and daughters of the Most-High King and fully realize their own divine appointment in God’s Kingdom.”” front\_padding=”0px\|0px\|0px\|0px” back\_padding=”0px\|0px\|0px\|0px” front\_img\_height=”213px” front\_img\_width=”358px” back\_img\_height=”120px” back\_img\_width=”120px” back\_bg\_color=”#F2F2F2″ front\_bg\_color=”#ffffff” front\_desc\_spacing=”10px” back\_desc\_spacing=”10px” \_builder\_version=”4.27.4″ \_module\_preset=”default” front\_title\_text\_color=”#404040″ front\_title\_font\_size=”1rem” front\_title\_letter\_spacing=”1px” front\_description\_font\_size=”1rem” back\_title\_text\_color=”#ffffff” back\_title\_font\_size=”1rem” back\_title\_line\_height=”1.1em” back\_description\_font=”Abel\|\|\|\|\|\|\|\|” back\_description\_text\_color=”#404040″ back\_description\_font\_size=”-2rem” back\_description\_line\_height=”1em” front\_subtitle\_font=”\|\|\|\|\|\|\|\|” front\_subtitle\_text\_color=”#404040″ border\_radii\_card=”on\|9px\|9px\|9px\|9px” border\_width\_all\_card=”1px” border\_color\_all\_card=”#3979ff” border\_radii\_front\_media=”on\|10px\|10px\|10px\|10px” border\_radii\_back\_media=”on\|100px\|100px\|100px\|100px” global\_colors\_info=”{}”\]\[/ba\_flipbox\] ## 4-day summer intensive ###### TBD Try it out!

Designed and established from the heart of [*Encounter Ministries*](https://encounterministries.us), this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. - **Long Term Discipleship**: It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. - **Authentically Catholic**: We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. Our curriculum has been [reviewed by bishops and theologians.](https://encounterschool.org/approvals) ## location & schedule Led by a locally trained Campus Director and instructors, this satellite campus is a fully on-site program following the same ESM Curriculum as other campuses.

Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

Designed and established from the heart of [*Encounter Ministries*](https://encounterministries.us), this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. - **Long Term Discipleship**: It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. - **Authentically Catholic**: We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. Our curriculum has been [reviewed by bishops and theologians.](https://encounterschool.org/approvals) ## location & schedule Led by a locally trained Campus Director and instructors, this satellite campus is a fully on-site program following the same ESM Curriculum as other campuses. Classes run mid-September through May. **Location:** [Holy Faith Catholic Church, 747 NW 43rd St, Gainesville, FL 32607](https://maps.app.goo.gl/j1zKcfRRP93Zk6zP6) **Class Times:** Mondays, 6:30PM-9:30PM **Application Deadline:** Oct. 1 **Typical Class Night Schedule:** 6:30 Praise & Worship, Testimonies \| 7:15 Session 1 \| 8:15 Break \| 8:30 Session 2 \| 9:30 Dismissal ## class sessions ###### WEEKLY / IN-PERSON Each week, you will join your classmates on campus, where you will receive powerful training and practice opportunities. Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

Designed and established from the heart of [*Encounter Ministries*](https://encounterministries.us), this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. - **Long Term Discipleship**: It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. - **Authentically Catholic**: We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. Our curriculum has been [reviewed by bishops and theologians.](https://encounterschool.org/approvals) ## location & schedule Led by a locally trained Campus Director and instructors, this satellite campus is a fully on-site program following the same ESM Curriculum as other campuses. Classes run mid-September through May. **![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/icn-location.png "icn-location - Encounter School of Ministry") Location: [St. Joseph Catholic Church, ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/THqNjRv5VpGTXYyZ7)[2441 Dockery Ave., Selma, CA 93631](https://maps.app.goo.gl/THqNjRv5VpGTXYyZ7) **Class Times:** Tuesdays, 6PM-9PM **Application Deadline:** Oct. 1 contact ## class sessions ###### WEEKLY / IN-PERSON Each week, you will join your classmates on campus, where you will receive powerful training and practice opportunities. Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

Designed and established from the heart of [*Encounter Ministries*](https://encounterministries.us), this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. - **Long Term Discipleship**: It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. - **Authentically Catholic**: We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. Our curriculum has been [reviewed by bishops and theologians.](https://encounterschool.org/approvals) ## location & schedule Led by a locally trained Campus Director and instructors, this satellite campus is a fully on-site program following the same ESM Curriculum as other campuses. Classes run mid-September through May. **![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/icn-location.png "icn-location - Encounter School of Ministry") Location:** [St. Joseph Catholic Church, 8 Robinson Avenue, Danbury, CT 06810](https://maps.app.goo.gl/U55ypYsSNBaCPkoc9) **Class Times:** Mondays, 6PM-9PM **Application Deadline:** Oct. 1 Typical Class Night Schedule: 6:00 Praise & Worship \| 7:00 Session 1 \| 7:45 Break \| 8:00 Session 2 \| 9:00 Dismissal contact ## class sessions ###### WEEKLY / IN-PERSON Each week, you will join your classmates on campus, where you will receive powerful training and practice opportunities. Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

He had lost the ability to walk on his own. With the support of his wife, Chera, Lucas was guided into the church. During Fr. Paul Moret’s teaching on healing, Lucas felt the presence of the Holy Spirit and felt God doing something to his body. Within an hour, he had regained full control of his legs and was able to walk around the church completely on his own. He came into the church crippled and left it praising Jesus! ###### **Guy Labontee, Wetaskiwin, AB \| Chronic Back Pain** Guy Labonte had suffered from chronic back pain for 12 years. His pain had been so severe that he spent 50% of the day in bed. Being the father of 7 children, his pain negatively impacted his ability to spend time with his family and to engage in simple activies like playing sports or having family meals together. He was not even able to lift up his two year old child. On April 1st 2023, he and his family attended an Encounter Ministry Healing Service in Spruce Grove, Alberta. Although he was not healed immediately at the service, he went to bed that night and felt Jesus wrap him in a “warm blanket”. In the morning Guy jumped out of bed with no pain for the first time in years. He felt the presence and excitement of the Holy Spirit and proceeded to lift up his 13 year old son with ease and no pain. Guy and Michela Labonte gave this testimony on May 6th 2023 saying that they were skeptical coming to the last healing service but wanted to let everyone know what God had done for their family! ###### **Barbara Bayton, Spruce Grove, AB: Kidney Stones** Barbara Baynton was diagnosed with two large kidney stones after experiencing sharp pain. She had some pain relief after several people prayed over her at the Holy Trinity healing service. A few days later, the change was even more remarkable. “My doctor called and asked me ‘How’s the pain?” I said ‘Gone.’ ‘‘Did you have any excruciating pain and bleeding?’ my doctor asked. Obviously my doctor assumed that I had physically passed the kidney stones. I said no. No, not at all. I hadn’t passed anything,” Barbara recalled. “Well my CT scan showed that my kidney stones are gone. And I never passed them. They were just gone. So I firmly believe in this miracle – praise the Lord!” ###### **Myles Barter, Sherwood Park, Ab: Celebral Palsy** On June 30th 2023, Myles Barter attended Encounter Ministries healing service at Lac Sainte Anne, AB. He had been struggling with cerebral palsy for 22 years which affected his mobility and ability to participate in physical activities. During the healing service, a group of Catholics prayed over him and he felt an extreme heat on his thigh and was overwhelmed with a sense of the Holy Spirit. He tested out his legs and started running and jumping and doing things he had previously been unable to do. Glory to God!

Designed and established from the heart of [*Encounter Ministries*](https://encounterministries.us), this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. - **Long Term Discipleship**: It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. - **Authentically Catholic**: We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. Our curriculum has been [reviewed by bishops and theologians.](https://encounterschool.org/approvals) ## location & schedule Led by a locally trained Campus Director and instructors, this satellite campus is a fully on-site program following the same ESM Curriculum as other campuses. Classes run mid-September through May. **![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/icn-location.png "icn-location - Encounter School of Ministry") Location: [Mother of God School (Gym), 20501 Goshen Road, Gaithersburg, MD 20879](https://maps.app.goo.gl/spDzB2TJmBWv7vPR6) **Class Times:** Tuesdays, 6:15PM-9PM Application Deadline:** Oct. 1 ## class sessions ###### WEEKLY / IN-PERSON Each week, you will join your classmates on campus, where you will receive powerful training and practice opportunities. Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

Designed and established from the heart of [*Encounter Ministries*](https://encounterministries.us), this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. - **Long Term Discipleship**: It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. - **Authentically Catholic**: We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. Our curriculum has been [reviewed by bishops and theologians.](https://encounterschool.org/approvals) ## location & schedule Led by a locally trained Campus Director and instructors, this satellite campus is a fully on-site program following the same ESM Curriculum as other campuses. Classes run mid-September through May. **Location:** [**St. Ann Parish**](https://www.google.com/maps?q=St.+Ann+Parish+180+Samuel+Blvd.+Coppell,+TX+75019&rlz=1C1VDKB_enUS982US982&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiWwLS4scD8AhWYlGoFHcf1CTkQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw), [**180 Samuel Blvd. Coppell, TX 75019**](https://www.google.com/maps?q=St.+Ann+Parish+180+Samuel+Blvd.+Coppell,+TX+75019&rlz=1C1VDKB_enUS982US982&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiWwLS4scD8AhWYlGoFHcf1CTkQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw) **Class Times:** Mondays, 5:45PM-9PM **Application Deadline:** Oct. 1 **Typical Class Night Schedule:** 5:45 to 6:25 – Praise and worship • 6:25 to 6:30 – Announcements • 6:30 to 7:30 – Session 1 • 7:30 to 7:45 – Break with light snacks • 7:45 to 8:45 – Session 2 • 8:45 to 9:00 – Small group time and dismissal contact ## class sessions ###### WEEKLY / IN-PERSON Each week, you will join your classmates on campus, where you will receive powerful training and practice opportunities. Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness..

Theologian Reviewed. Bishop Approved. [> Review Team](https://encounterschool.org/approvals) [> Theology FAQ](https://encounterministries.us/faq) [> College Credit](#collegecredit) ##### year 1 ##### quarters 1-4 Q1: Identity & transformation *Supplemental Reading: [Supernatural Saints ](https://www.amazon.com/Supernatural-Saints-School-Ministry/dp/B0BJ4RPFQW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13KG0BEMFNJ30&keywords=supernatural+saints+book+by+patrick+reis&qid=1688665970&sprefix=supernatural+saints%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-1)by Patrick Reis* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Building a foundation for all ministry on your royal identity as sons and daughters of God who experience transformation by the renewal of the mind.*** Before students receive teaching and training in particular areas of ministry, they need to know who they are and whose they are. The first quarter focuses on the royal identity we receive as sons and daughters of God who have received an inheritance to do the works of Jesus and even greater works (Jn 14:12). Throughout the quarter students work to shift from a performance based mentality where their value and identity comes from what they do for God and into an identity where their value comes from who they are as sons and daughters of God alone. Students learn about the nature of transformation by the renewal of the mind and seek to shift from thinking from an earthly perspective to a heavenly perspective in regard to ministry (Matt 16:23). In each class students come to understand and experience their identity as temples of the Holy Spirit, be convicted of the new nature we have received from Jesus through baptism, live in the power of the Holy Spirit and respond to the authority we have received to expand the kingdom of God for a life of mission. In each class, students encounter new realms of God’s love and how the Father sees us in Jesus. Q2: Hearing God’s Voice & the Prophetic Gifts of the Holy Spirit *Supplemental Reading: [The Spiritual Gifts Handbook](https://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Gifts-Handbook-Using-Kingdom/dp/0800798635/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2PF6PQU4LQYS7&keywords=spiritual+gifts+handbook&qid=1688666059&sprefix=spiritual+gifts+h%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-1) by Dr. Mary Healy and Dr. Randy Clark* ###### ***Course Description*** Jesus taught us that He is the good shepherd and we are his sheep and that we hear his voice (Jn 10:4). In the first part of this quarter, students will understand that their ability to hear God’s voice comes from who they are in God and not what they do for Him. Students will spend time learning the “language of the Holy Spirit” who speaks to us through us and the discernment needed to identify his voice from either our own or the enemy’s. After growing in greater understanding and confidence to hear God’s voice for their own life, students will learn what it means to share in Christ’s prophetic office (Lumen Gentium 12) and to seek out and discover the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit for ministry. As the Scripture teaches that we are to “earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, above all that we would prophesy” (1 Cor 14:1), our students come to understand that the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit are simply a matter of hearing God’s voice for the world around us that would have the effect of building up, encouraging and consoling others in Christ (1 Cor 14:3). In this quarter, students will have many creative opportunities for prophetic ministry with one another and opportunities for honest feedback and growth rooted in love. Q3: power & healing *Supplemental Reading: [Healing: Bringing the Gift of God’s Mercy to the World ](https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Bringing-Gift-Mercy-World/dp/1612788203/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314670&sr=8-1&keywords=healing+healy)by Dr. Mary Healy* ###### ***Course Description*** Before Jesus gave the Eucharist or even the Holy Spirit to his disciples, he called his disciples to preach the Gospel and expected them to heal the sick (Mt 10:7-8; Luke 10:9). Jesus never proclaimed the Gospel without demonstrating and confirming the message with accompanying demonstrations of power – with physical healing being the most frequent sign. In this quarter, students learn a theology of healing that includes the role of healing in evangelization and the wisdom that healing ministry is done from a place of love and compassion for the sick. They will also learn a basic non-Sacramental prayer model for healing ministry and receive many opportunities in a safe and humble environment to participate in healing prayer both as individuals and in team settings. Students will also receive sessions on understanding the role of faith in healing ministry, words of knowledge for healing, the power of peace and how to overcome the discouragement that we can experience when healing does not occur. Overall, students will gain greater confidence to respond to Jesus’ invitation that “all who believe” can be used by God to bring healing to the world around them (Mk 16:18). Q4: Inner Healing & Freedom *Supplemental Reading**: [Be Healed by Dr. Bob Schuchts](https://www.amazon.com/Be-Healed-Guide-Encountering-Powerful/dp/1594714762/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314813&sr=8-1&keywords=be+healed+bob+schuchts) and [*Deliverance Ministry* ](https://www.amazon.com/Deliverance-International-Charismatic-Doctrinal-Commission/dp/0578353571/ref=sr_1_2?crid=13T2PIE2LVC2K&keywords=deliverance+ministry+healy&qid=1662048078&sprefix=deliverance+ministry+healy%2Caps%2C76&sr=8-2)by International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services Doctrinal Commission*** ###### ***Course Description*** ***Getting equipped to participate in Jesus’ ministry of “healing the broken hearted and binding up their wounds.”*** God has revealed himself as the Lord who “heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Ps 147:3). In this quarter, students will be equipped to engage in the ministry of inner healing and freedom. Students will have the opportunity to grow in God’s heart and desire to see the broken made whole and seek to cultivate tools and skill sets to partner with the Holy Spirit to bring healing to the heart. Students will learn the anatomy of the wounds that we experience in life and how to partner with Jesus to bring freedom from the lies, unforgiveness and disorder that come as a result of these wounds. Jesus also desires his children to be free from the influence of evil spirits. This quarter also teaches how to lead people into greater freedom from the influence of the enemy and to walk in the full protection of God (Ps 91, Eph 6). ## year 2 ##### quarters 5-8 Q5: Intimacy with God *Supplemental Reading:* [*Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love*](https://www.amazon.com/Personal-Prayer-Guide-Receiving-Fathers/dp/1645850234?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG)*,* by Fr Thomas Acklin and Fr Boniface Hicks (find on Amazon or local retailer) ###### ***Course Description*** As the students have spent a majority of their time growing and cultivating their ministry gifts and skill sets, they need to understand the necessity of cultivating a greater and mature prayer life and become convinced that all fruitful ministry flows from intimacy with God. Jesus ultimately died for us not just so we could get to heaven, but that we could have the same kind of relationship that He enjoyed with the Father. Jesus modeled for us what intimacy looks like and this intimacy with the Father flows through Jesus in the Holy Spirit. From the richness of our vast spiritual tradition and the teaching of the spiritual doctors of the Church, students will learn how to engage in greater intimacy with God through scripture, meditative prayer, and contemplative prayer. They will dive into the riches in the Song of Songs, learn how to worship and seek after God’s own heart through the witness of David. Students will have an opportunity to grow in intercession, learn the practice of the discernment of spirits and cultivate a lifestyle of practicing the presence of God through abiding in Jesus. Q6: Advanced Ministry Training *Supplemental Reading: [*Lord, Renew Your Wonders*](https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Renew-Your-Wonders-Spiritual/dp/1593253230)*, by Damian Stayne* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving from leaders in each area of ministry from the first four quarters and coming to a new level of depth and effect that was not possible in the first year.*** In the sixth quarter, we will go into more advanced areas of ministry that we were not able to address in the first year. In this quarter, seasoned leaders in each major area of ministry will be presenting to the students on advanced ministry approaches to seek greater fruitfulness and faith Q7: Power Evangelization *Supplemental Reading: **[*Do What Jesus Did*](https://www.amazon.com/Do-What-Jesus-Did-Real-Life/dp/0800795571/ref=sr_1_1?crid=21C540TOXJ6UH&keywords=do%20what%20jesus%20did%20robby%20dawkins&qid=1656816273&s=books&sprefix=do%20what%20jesu%2Cstripbooks%2C98&sr=1-1&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG),** by Robby Dawkins & **[*A New Pentecost for The New Evangelization*](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/A-New-Pentecost-for-the-New-Evangelization-Y2-Summer-Reading.pdf)**[](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/A-New-Pentecost-for-the-New-Evangelization-Y2-Summer-Reading.pdf)*,* by Dr. Ralph Martin* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving the Father’s heart for the lost and gaining the faith to preach the Gospel and partner with the Holy Spirit to demonstrate the reality and truth of the Gospel with the power of God that He has given us.*** Up until this point, all of the content that has been presented to the students can happen inside the four walls of the Church. In this quarter students will learn practical ways to effectively preach and present the Gospel to those in need of His salvation and grow in faith to demonstrate the reality of the kingdom through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Students will learn that evangelization accompanied by demonstrations of the power of God are part of our heritage going back to the early Church (1 Cor 2:3-5). Students will learn that the Church ultimately exists to evangelize and will be exposed to the rich tradition of teaching on evangelization we have as Catholics. They will learn how to present the basic Gospel message and the response that is necessary to the Gospel. Students will learn the power of testimony to opening someone up to faith in Jesus and how to effectively share their testimony. They will discover the keys to growing in faith and boldness to evangelize and practical ways to incorporate the prophetic gifts and healing for Evangelization. Q8: Leadership & deployment *Supplemental Reading: **[Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity](https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decree_19651118_apostolicam-actuositatem_en.html?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG)*** ###### ***Course Description*** ***Being prepared to get launched back into your sphere of influence to see the kingdom dreams become reality through equipping students to become leaders.*** Each member of the Church has received a call from God to participate in the Great Commission. To that end, God has put various dreams and visions on the hearts of the faithful to see the kingdom of God manifest in the world. In this quarter, we equip our students first with the faith that God wants to use them and see their kingdom dreams come to pass. He is looking for great saints that want to do great things in the world for him. Flowing from that reality, we will equip our students with practical tools and skills for the ability to both integrate what they’ve learned with existing parishes and communities as well as the wisdom and knowledge needed to launch to build and grow both new and existing apostolates or ministries. Students will also learn and be inspired by current leaders in the New Evangelization that have come before them as well to propel them to go forth from the school to build the kingdom of God in their spheres of influence. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes, whether onsite or your online Zoom class, begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness. **[Main Campus](https://encounterschool.org/main)** Our main campus praise is led by the [Encounter Worship](https://encounterministries.us/worship) team, along with volunteers from our musically-gifted students and alumni throughout the year. This is also a time for students to share testimonies of their experiences throughout the week and share prophetic encouragement for their classmates, the Church and the world. **[Satellite Campuses](https://encounterschool.org/campus/#satellites)** Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. **[Online Campus](https://encounterschool.org/online)** Our Online Campus students are invited to join the live Main Campus praise each Monday evening, via Zoom. They will also experience a time of music, prayer and testimony before each weekly zoom session with their fellow classmates and online facilitator. Encounter Worship Team ## teaching Sessions Drawing from the riches of Catholic Tradition and Scripture, ESM focuses on transformation through the renewal of the mind. All of our campuses follow the same model of offering two powerful teaching sections each week, following the 8-quarter curriculum. **[Main Campus](https://encounterschool.org/main)** Class time includes two teaching sessions led by our main campus instructors, including Fr. Mathias Thelen, Patrick Reis, Sarah Kaczmarek, Fr. Patrick Gonyeau, Dr. Mary Healy, Peter Herbeck, Fr. Boniface Hicks, and many guest instructors throughout the year. Audio recordings for each class are available for students to review on their student dashboard. [**Online Campus**](https://encounterschool.org/online) Two class videos led by our Main Campus instructors are released each week for students to watch at the flexibility their schedule allows, but to be completed prior to their weekly Zoom session. [**Satellite Campuses**](https://encounterschool.org/campus/#satellites) Teaching sessions at our satellite campuses are conducted by the local campus directors and trained team. Curriculum ## Activations The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. **[Main Campus](https://encounterschool.org/main)** Activations are led by the instructors during or following a session, either independently or within a small group setting. [**Satellite Campuses**](https://encounterschool.org/campus/#satellites) Activations are led by the campus directors and instructions during or following a session, either independently or within a small group setting. **[Online Campus](https://encounterschool.org/online)** While some video sessions include or end with short activations for students to do on their own, the primary place for activations to take place is during the once-weekly zoom sessions with the facilitator, classmates and small groups. ## small groups Each class offers an opportunity for the students to meet in their small groups. These groups are formed at the beginning of the school year and accompany students through graduation. Small groups, let by an assigned student or alumni, are places to ask questions, share homework testimonies, practice what you have learned, and help each other in the process and journey of each quarter. **Main & Satellite Campuses** Students generally meet in their small groups after worship and before the teaching sessions. [**Online Campus**](https://encounterschool.org/online) Small groups are organized in your weekly Zoom session, and are expressed through a “breakout room” settings. Your small group will also be with you during projects and practicums. ## homework This is not your normal homework! You will be encouraged to take what you have learned and put it into practice outside of the classroom: at home, at work, on the streets, at the grocery store, etc. It may include journal entries, calling an old friend, sharing the Gospel, and more. Homework is not graded, but it will be discussed in your small group and is essential to growing in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. core values positioned in love *“And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.*” 1 Cor 13:2 We pursue the ministry of Jesus from a position of love for God and others; we desire to minister the authentic good for others without any concern for self and personal ambition. awareness of god’s presence *“I cannot imagine how religious persons can live satisfied without the practice of the presence of GOD. For my part I keep myself retired with Him in the depth of centre of my soul as much as I can; and while I am so with Him I fear nothing; but the least turning from Him is insupportable.”* Brother Lawrence, The Practice of the Presence of God Our goal is to cultivate a ‘presence-driven ministry’ born out of an increased awareness of the presence of God in our ministry. intimacy with god “*If God should desire to raise us to the position of one who is an intimate and shares his secrets, we ought to accept this gladly*.” St. Teresa of Avila We acknowledge that all ministry should flow from a place of intimacy with God; all missionary efforts need to be rooted in personal holiness. We believe that the authentic growth of our ministry comes from our growing intimacy with Him. Risk Taking *To be ‘Spirit-filled evangelisers’ means to be evangelisers who are ‘fearlessly open to the working of the Holy Spirit’* – Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudiam We encourage and celebrate students taking risks in their pursuit of greater obedience to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. We seek to cultivate a lifestyle of fearless evangelization. patience towards maturity *“Beware of becoming vexed or impatient at the faults of others; for it would be folly, when you see a man falling into a ditch, to throw yourself into another for no purpose.”* Saint Bonaventure We are intentionally patient with ourselves and with others as we develop our ministry gifts and acknowledge that because everyone is in a process of maturity that patience is the necessary for growth. We are also committed to giving and receiving feedback to help one another mature. pursue breakthrough *“Perseverance is the most desirable gift we can hope for in this life. It is in our power to persevere. Of course, I do not mean that our perseverance takes its origin from our power. On the contrary, I know that it springs from God’s mercy, whose most precious gift it is.”* Saint Francis de Sales We acknowledge that authentic growth comes through overcoming disappointment and that only through a lifestyle of perseverance will we breakthrough into the greatness that God has called for us in ministry. culture of honor *“Love one another with brotherly affection; outdo one another in showing honor*.” – Romans 12:10 We intentionally seek to cultivate a culture of honor where we choose to treat one another with the highest regard because they bear the image of God and we celebrate his work in one another’s lives. We acknowledge that we can only properly receive from the gifts of others when we honor them. christian unity *“This cooperation based on our common faith is not only filled with fraternal communion, but is a manifestation of Christ himself…Moreover, ecumenical cooperation is a true school of ecumenism, a dynamic road to unity.

It did take growing in my relationship with God and hearing His voice to be able to pursue more inner healing for myself. I believe that inner healing requires a deep faith and trust in God‘s love and power to heal. I also know that for me it was so helpful to have developed close relationships in Christ with the women in my small group during the Encounter zoom meetings. #### esm student ###### online campus ###### prophecy The “Hearing God and Prophetic Gifts” launched my role as a confessor into a new level of being able to hear the Father’s voice speaking to the heart of His child as they confessed their sins. I have had images during confession in the past but none as powerfully healing as they have been since this lesson and the practicum that came with it. On occasion, once shared with the penitent, the images speak right to the root cause of their sin and opened up avenues for a deeper and more thorough healing of their soul. #### ESM STUDENT (priest) ###### online camus ###### healing My husband and I went to the hospital to pray with friends of a family member. He has brain cancer and has been struggling for two years with chemo treatment. He was slumped over and couldn’t move his right side and bothered by a rash . After praying with him and sharing God’s enormous love and mercy for him, he was able to stand up. The next day we received this message from his wife: “Paul as had an amazing day of progress… and walked with the therapist and went up one step.. he is standing on his own and using the regular bathroom. He has absolutely no itching/ rash. First time in two months.” #### esm student ###### main campus --- ### [ESMO Priest Cohort](https://encounterschool.org/esm-online-class-priests/) **Published:** January 14, 2025 **Author:** rachel@encounterministries.us **Content:** Priests summer intensive student dashboard Online Campus specifically for Catholic priests.

Each Satellite Campus is run by a Campus Director who has a direct and immediate role and responsibility over the campus. As no one can develop a successful and sustainable campus on their own, it is vital each director has a Leadership Team working with them to ensure all major areas of responsibilities are covered. These responsibilities are listed and explained below: Administration Administration within a Satellite Campus includes overseeing the following areas: - Maintaining & Updating the Student Dashboard - Printing Student Handouts, Ensuring Leadership Team members and the teaching team has proper Google Drive access - Organizing and updating the Campus Master Calendar - Updating and distributing student syllabi for the school year Marketing Creating positive exposure of your campus is one of the most important elements to growing your campus and preparing for a successful launch. The role of the marketing team is to increase campus awareness, create and request graphic designs from the ESM team in Brighton, communicate with those in your marketing database, and establish and maintain informative and engaging social media accounts. Events Events are an important way to help bring about transformation in your region. They provide opportunities for those not involved in the school to experience more of what the Lord has in store for them. Additionally, events provide an opportunity for your students to be able to minister and continue to activate what they are learning about during their time in the Encounter School of Ministry! Budgeting Possible Costs to Consider: Rental Fees\* Campus Supplies (Paper, binders\*, pens. etc.) Hospitality\* Tech Equipment\* Administrative Costs\* (ie.

This can take many forms, but should include weekly small groups for your students to take part in. During small groups, students will discuss the previous week’s homework, pray with each other, and spend time discussing the suggested reading. Additionally, campuses organize outings for students, retreats, and other opportunities for students to grow together. Pastoral Support While we highly recommend all of our students have a spiritual mentor who can walk with them throughout the duration of the two-year program, we also know the importance of each campus having someone onsite to support students. Pastoral support on a campus can look many different ways, some of the responsibilities include: Providing extra support, space to process, and prayer for students Encouraging students to seek out additional support including the Encounter Inner Healing & Freedom Ministry, mental health resources, and other inner healing resources. Encouragement Over the course of the two-year program, it is the Satellite Campuses responsibility to continually encourage their students. This can take many forms including: - Providing additional resources provided by Main Campus - Creating opportunities for students to be able to minister - Providing prophetic encouragement - Praying for your students and regions! # launch process e-course training Upon being accepted as an Onboarding Satellite Campus, each director will be given access to a training course, which will need to be completed prior to attending the three day training in Brighton, MI.

Leadership Teams are made up of the following roles: - Campus Director - Campus Administrator - Marketing Lead - Pastoral Support - Tech Coordinator Develop a Teaching Team Teaching is a crucial component of a satellite campus.

Designed and established from the heart of [*Encounter Ministries*](https://encounterministries.us), this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. - **Long Term Discipleship**: It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. - **Authentically Catholic**: We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints.

Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. - **Long Term Discipleship**: It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. - **Authentically Catholic**: We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints.

Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

It was there that she first heard about vocations, began discerning, and encountered the Mercedarian Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament.

Designed and established from the heart of [*Encounter Ministries*](https://encounterministries.us), this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. - **Long Term Discipleship**: It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. - **Authentically Catholic**: We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. Our curriculum has been [reviewed by bishops and theologians.](https://encounterschool.org/approvals) ## location & schedule Led by a locally trained Campus Director and instructors, this satellite campus is a fully on-site program following the same ESM Curriculum as other campuses. Classes run mid-September through May. **![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/icn-location.png "icn-location - Encounter School of Ministry") Location: [Christ the King Catholic Church, 5306 Main St, McFarland, WI 53558](https://maps.app.goo.gl/q277XXDpYjykJ7pj6) **Class Times:** Mondays, 6PM-9PM **Application Deadline:** Oct. 1 contact ## class sessions ###### WEEKLY / IN-PERSON Each week, you will join your classmates on campus, where you will receive powerful training and practice opportunities. Your time at class will include praise and worship, prayer, Q&A, activations, and time with your small group. Classes are led by the local campus director. ###### **Activations** The gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance in Christ that, among other things, are meant to equip us for mission. Activations are powerful spiritual opportunities that help us experience the fullness of our identity and bring heaven to earth. Each teaching session includes “activations,” or time for “activating” and putting into practice what you have just learned. This may include a time of silent prayer, asking the Lord to reveal something to you, praying with your classmates, and more. Students can expect powerful personal transformation, breakthrough, and even miracles during this time. Curriculum ## praise While we recognize, honor and encourage our students to attend Mass as the highest form of worship, our class time praise is focused on becoming aware of God’s presence and positioning ourselves in a place of receptivity, surrender, and response to what He is doing. ESM values freedom and joy in our response to God’s goodness. We express this in our school culture through childlike worship. All classes begin with an extended time of praise as we cultivate our awareness of God’s manifest presence and celebrate together His goodness.. Each satellite campus develops their own team and style of praise, following the same model and core values as all ESM campuses. ## College Credit ###### **maturing in faith** **Partnership with *Holy Apostles College & Seminary*** Your ESM Graduation credits can earn you advanced standing in the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs at Holy Apostles, so you can complete your degree faster, save money, and start making a bigger impact!

It was awesome to see how the Lord was teaching, healing, coming just where we were, whether on campus or online, whether in the US or abroad, whether in our living rooms, offices, kitchens or patios. My living room became a holy space. His Presence was palpable!”* participant *“I was very impressed by the depth and solidity of the teaching. The theology was beautiful. I grew up in the charismatic renewal and at the time I was a child, the theology was not as well developed and articulated as I found it articulated during the Summer Intensive. There’s a whole science and theology and method to it. Excellent.* All of this is so totally new to me (words of knowledge , prophecy, etc.) and yet I was affirmed in what the Father had already begun in me… my outreach to people, desperate for them also to experience His purpose and real freedom NOW in this life.. I also saw and heard miraculous things. I experienced “How could they possibly know that but for grace of the Holy Spirit?” moments. There were even times that I got out of God’s way and delivered a word to someone that surprised me just how specific it was. And I experienced something that shook my world. ##### Presenters: #### praise & worship #### teaching #### activations #### prayer ministry Register --- ### [ESMO Ministry Rooms](https://encounterschool.org/ministryrooms/) **Published:** March 16, 2026 **Author:** jacob@encounterministries.us **Content:** ministry rooms View Rooms About *Ministry Rooms are monthly online gatherings where individuals can receive prophetic or physical healing prayer from trained Encounter School of Ministry Online teams.

These rooms are open to the public and are led by trained ministry teams within ESMO. Each session is conducted live over Zoom and is designed to create a structured environment where participants can encounter prayer ministry in a focused and faith-filled setting. Available rooms are listed above, where you can view upcoming dates and select a session to join. ## what to expect Each Ministry Room is a two-hour online gathering that includes a brief time of worship, a short introduction, and an extended period dedicated to prayer ministry. During the ministry portion, participants are placed into breakout rooms with trained prayer teams for short, focused sessions. Each room has a limited number of available spots, and participants are admitted into ministry rooms as space becomes available through a waiting room queue. Participants may experience a wait before being assigned to a team. ## guidelines & credibility Prayer ministry is provided by trained Year 2 students of the Encounter School of Ministry Online, operating under leadership and established ministry guidelines to ensure consistency and accountability. Ministry Rooms rotate monthly between prophetic prayer and physical healing prayer, depending on the scheduled session.

Online kampus slijedi isti **kurikul** kao i svi ostali **ESM kampusi**. ### Identitet **Prvi tjedan: Identitet i preobrazba** “…nego se preobrazujte obnavljanjem svoje pameti.” (Rimljanima 12, 2) (vidi info🡪) **Predavanja 1 & 2** Ova predavanja pregled su prvog kvartala Škole. Sva plodonosna služba ne proizlazi iz veće izvedbe ili nastojanja, već iz našeg identiteta kao voljenih sinova i kćeri Božjih. Preobrazba koju trebamo proći dolazi iz “obnove našeg uma” (usp. Rim 12,2) i razmišljanja iz Kristova uma. Predavanje 1: Pregled Predavanje 2: 0bnavljanje uma, učenici nadnaravnog ### **Proroštvo** **Drugi tjedan: Čuti Božji glas & Proročki darovi Duha Svetoga** “Ovce moje slušaju glas moj…” (Iv 10, 27) **Predavanja 3 & 4** Naš je cilj rasti u našem odnosu s Bogom i nastojati postati svjesniji načina na koji nam govori za nas same. Na temelju toga možemo se kretati u proročkim darovima Duha Svetoga kojima nam Bog omogućuje da čujemo njegov glas na različite načine za svijet oko nas **Predavanje 1**: *čuti božji glas* **Predavanje 2**: *Proročke aktivacije* ### **Ozdravljenje **Treći tjedan: Sila & Ozdravljenje** “… na nemoćnike će ruke polagati, i bit će im dobro…” (Mk 16, 18) **Predavanja 5 & 6** Isus nikada nije naviještao Evanđelje, a da ga nije pokazao snagom i ljubavlju. Isusova služba ozdravljanja u srcu je njegovog evanđelja sile i on očekuje od svojih učenika da služe njegovim ozdravljenjima na zemlji (usp. Mt 16, 18-19). Ova predavanja pruža temelj za suradnju s Duhom Svetim kako bismo donijeli ozdravljenje svijetu oko nas. **Predavanje 1:** *Teologija ozdravljenja* **Predavanje 2:** M*olitveni model u 5 koraka* ### Unutarnje ozdravljenje **Četvrti tjedan: Unutarnje iscjeljenje & Sloboda** “Jer nije nam Bog dao duha bojažljivosti, nego snage, ljubavi i razbora. “ (2 Timoteju 1, 7) **Predavanja 7 & 8** Isus Krist došao je osloboditi potlačene i zarobljene. On želi da surađujemo s njim kako bismo donijeli slobodu i cjelovitost slomljenom svijetu. Kao dio jednog od najintenzivnijih kvartala Škole, ova predavanja će zagrebati u razumijevanje toga kako možemo biti učinkovitiji u liječenju srca s Kristom i oslobađanju potrebitih od neprijateljeva tlačenja. **Predavanje 1:** *Unutarnje iscjeljenje & sloboda* **Predavanje 2:** P*raktični alati* ## *zoom* nastava uživo Svakog tjedna pridružit ćete se nastavi uživo na besplatnoj platformi za video konferencije pod nazivom Zoom. Vašu dinamičnu Zoom nastavu vodit će vaš online voditelj i uključivat će molitvu, pitanja i odgovore, praktične aktivacije i završit će vremenom provedenim u manjim radnim grupama u odvojenim sobama za sastanke (breakout rooms).

Uz online kampus, imat ćete priliku u manjim grupama podijeliti svoja iskustva, moliti se s drugima i aktivirati nadnaravne darove koje vam je Bog podario. ###### **Male grupe** Svaka **Zoom nastava** uživo uključivat će vrijeme s vašom malom radnom grupom u odvojenim sobama za sastanke. Grupe se dodjeljuju na početku godine, tako da će vam vaše male grupe pomagati tijekom cijelog vašeg putovanja.

Registracija Sve je bilo dobro. Bilo je predivno vidjeti kako Gospodin poučava, liječi, dolazi upravo tamo gdje smo mi, bilo na kampusu ili online, bilo u SAD-u ili u inozemstvu, bilo u našim dnevnim boravcima, uredima, kuhinjama ili na terasama. Moj dnevni boravak postao je sveto mjesto. Njegova Prisutnost bila je opipljiva! Bio sam vrlo impresioniran dubinom i kvalitetom podučavanja. Teologija je bila predivna. Odrastao sam u karizmatskoj obnovi, i u to vrijeme, kad sam bio dijete, teologija nije bila toliko razvijena i artikulirana kao što sam otkrio da je artikulirana tijekom Ljetnog tečaja. Postoji cijela znanost, teologija i metodologija iza toga. Izvrsno. Sve mi je ovo tako potpuno novo (riječi spoznaje,, proroštva itd.), a ipak sam bio potvrđen u onome što je Otac već započeo u meni… moje približavanje ljudima, očajnički želeći da i oni dožive Njegovu svrhu i pravu slobodu već SADA i u ovom životu.. Također sam vidio i čuo čudesne stvari. Doživio sam one trenutke u kojima se zapitaš: “Kako bi oni to uopće mogli znati osim milošću Duha Svetoga?” Bilo je čak trenutaka da sam uspio maknuti sebe i dozvoliti Bogu da djeluje i nekome prenio riječ koja je i mene iznenadila koliko je bila konkretna. Doživio sam nešto što je uzdrmalo cijeli moj svijet. --- ### [ESMO Croatian (redirect)](https://hr.encounterschool.org/) **Published:** April 9, 2025 **Author:** jess@encounterministries.us **Content:** ONLINE KAMPUS Ljetni tečaj Studentska kontrolna ploča Fleksibilno učenje s globalnom zajednicom. ### Videozapisi ### Zoom nastava ### Predavači ### Kurikul ### Raspored ### Prijavi se ### Videozapisi ### Zoom nastava ### Raspored ### Kurikul ### Predavači ### Prijavi se ## PO SVOM KRŠTENJU STE POZVANI. Ova škola, osmišljena i uspostavljena iz srca Službe Encounter, crpi iz bogatstva naše katoličke baštine dok nastojimo poučavati, opremati i aktivirati učenike da demonstriraju Božju ljubav snagom Duha Svetoga u svojim sferama utjecaja. U skladu s naukom i tradicijom Katoličke crkve, nudimo studentima dinamičan dvogodišnji program obuke osmišljen da vas podigne na višu razinu u vašem poslanju. ## NAUČI ŽIVJETI NADNARAVNIM ŽIVOTOM ***Vjerno nauku katoličke crkve o darovima duha svetoga*** Većina ljudi ne doživljava nadnaravne trenutke u svom svakodnevnom životu. Postoji veliki raskorak između njihovih vlastitih iskustava i onih u pričama iz Svetog pisma ili životima svetaca. Ako duboko u sebi znate da Isus Krist nije umro za nemoćnu Crkvu, onda možda tražite ono “više” što je Bog obećao. Encounterova Škola službe može radikalno obnoviti vaš um i preobraziti vaš život. ## **DUGOROČNI UČENICI** ***Izgradnja povjerenja*** ***“Zaista, zaista, kažem vam: Tko vjeruje u mene, činit će djela koja ja činim; i veća će od njih činiti jer ja odlazim Ocu.” – Iv 14, 12*** Naša je misija podizati učenike koji su opremljeni za činjenje “većih djela”, i Gospodinova je ideja za tu obuku bila dugoročno učeništvo. Isus je proveo tri godine sa svojim učenicima poučavajući ih, opremajući ih i hodajući s njima. Promjena načina razmišljanja i životnog stila zahtijeva vrijeme i ne trebate to činiti sami. Encounterova Škola službe nudi dugoročno učeništvo i praktične alate kako biste nadnaravni život Duha Svetoga učinili naravnim dijelom svoje svakodnevice, upravo onako kako je Isus zamislio. ## AUTENTIČNO KATOLIČKI ***Tradicionalno i karizmatsko*** Vjerujemo da kulturna podjela unutar Crkve između “tradicionalnih” i “karizmatskih” nikada nije bila Božja namjera. Međutim, možemo priznati da je došlo do velikih nesporazuma i općenitog nedostatka formacije u vezi s upotrebom i svrhom duhovnih darova u Crkvi. Naša učenja crpimo iz Svetog pisma, tradicije, službenog crkvenog nauka, života ranih crkvenih otaca i života svetaca. Uvjereni smo da je Gospodin oduvijek namjeravao da njegova krštena djeca pokazuju Kraljevstvo Božje kroz znamenja i čudesa, baš kao što je to činio on – a ti su nam darovi potrebni sada više nego ikada. Naš je kurikul pregledao tim teologa, kao i svaki biskup koji upravlja svakim satelitskim kampusom. Za upis u školu NIJE potrebno biti katolik. ## NAUČITE PREUZIMATI RIZIK ***Iskoračite u vjeri*** Ako se nikada niste molili za ozdravljenje, teško čujete Božji glas, bojite se dijeliti Evanđelje s ljudima koje susrećete ili želite razumjeti učenje Crkve o duhovnim darovima – razumijemo vas, a razumiju vas i vaši kolege. Škola službe Encounter (Encounter School of Ministry) je sigurno mjesto za početak preuzimanja rizika u vjeri, uz pružanje jednostavnih, praktičnih alata i modela koji olakšavaju otkrivanje i prakticiranje vaših darova. o. Mathias Thelen *Suosnivač i predsjednik* Otac Mathias zaređen je 2010. godine i služi kao župnik župe sv. Patrika u Brightonu, Michigan. Ima diplome prvostupnika filozofije i katoličkih studija.

Thelen stekao je diplomu iz Sakralne teologije na Angelicumu u Rimu. Strastven prema propovijedanju i poučavanju evanđelja, njegovo je djelovanje popraćeno ne samo nevjerojatnim, potvrđenim ozdravljenjima, već je stekao i reputaciju osobe koja vodi ljude u Očev zagrljaj ljubavi. O. Mathias izabran je za euharistijskog propovjednika za Nacionalni euharistijski preporod i govornika na Nacionalnom euharistijskom kongresu. Autor je knjige *Biblical Foundations for the Role of Healing in Evangelization* (Wipf and Stock, 2017) i pojavio se u dokumentarnim filmovima *Fearless* (2017) i *Revive* (2020). Patrick Reis *Suosnivač i izvršni direktor* Patrick Reis je suosnivač i izvršni direktor Službe Encounter (*Encounter Ministries*).

Odobren od brojnih biskupa.*** Prije odobrenja, naš kurikulum prolazi rigoroznu reviziju akademskog kurikuluma s timom cijenjenih katoličkih teologa. Tijekom akademske godine 2020.-2021., Encounter Ministries bavili su se rigoroznom revizijom akademskog kurikuluma s timom cijenjenih katoličkih teologa kako bi provjerili nastavni plan i program škole Susret. Svaki je profesor dobio potpuni pristup sadržajima koji se predaju u Školi susreta za njihove odabrane četvrtine. Ne samo da su radili na jamčenju da nastavni plan i program bude slobodan od moralnih i doktrinarnih pogrešaka i da je duboko ukorijenjen u Svetom pismu, službenom crkvenom učenju i svjedočanstvu ranih crkvenih otaca, već su pomogli osigurati veću preciznost i točnost u nastavnom planu i programu kako bi se umanjila moguća zabuna i osigurao potpuni kontinuitet s crkvenim učenjem. Biskupi i teolozi ###### Prva godina Q1: Identitet i preobrazba Dodatno čitanje: Nadnaravni sveci (Patrick Reis) **Opis programa** Građenje temelja za svako služenje na vašem kraljevskom identitetu sinova i kćeri Božjih koji doživljavaju preobrazbu obnavljanjem uma. Prije nego što studenti prime pouku i obuku u određenim područjima služenja, trebaju znati tko su i čiji su. Prvo tromjesečje fokusira se na kraljevski identitet koji primamo kao sinovi i kćeri Božji koji su primili nasljedstvo da čine djela Isusova i još veća djela (Iv 14, 12). Tijekom tromjesečja studenti rade na preobrazbi iz mentaliteta temeljena na izvedbenosti, gdje njihova vrijednost i identitet dolaze od onoga što rade za Boga, u identitet u kojem njihova vrijednost dolazi isključivo od toga tko oni jesu kao sinovi i kćeri Božje. Studenti uče o preobrazbi obnovom uma i, kada je u pitanju služenje, nastoje se prebaciti s načina razmišljanja iz zemaljske perspektive na razmišljanje iz nebeske perspektive (Mt 16, 23). Na svakom nastavnom satu studenti dolaze do razumijevanja i doživljavanja svog identiteta – kao hrama Duha Svetoga – i bivaju uvjereni u novu narav koju smo primili od Isusa kroz krštenje, žive u snazi Duha Svetoga i odgovaraju na autoritet koji su primili kako bi širili kraljevstvo Božje poslanjem u svom vlastitom životu. Na svakom satu studenti se susreću s novim sferama Božje ljubavi i time kako nas Otac vidi u Isusu. Q2: Čuti Božji glas i prorocki darovi Duha Svetoga *Dodatno čitanje: Priručnik za duhovne darove (dr. Mary Healy i dr. Randy Clark)* **Opis programa** Isus nas je poučio da je on dobar pastir i da smo mi njegove ovce te da čujemo njegov glas (Iv 10, 4). U prvom dijelu ovog tromjesečja, studenti će razumjeti da njihova sposobnost da čuju Božji glas dolazi od onoga tko su u Bogu, a ne iz onoga što za njega čine. Studenti će provesti vrijeme učeći “jezik Duha Svetoga” koji nam se obraća kroz nas i potrebno razlučivanje za prepoznavanje i razlikovanje njegova glasa od našeg vlastitog ili od glasa neprijatelja. Nakon što steknu dublje razumijevanje i povjerenje da čuju Božji glas za vlastiti život, studenti će naučiti što znači sudjelovati u Kristovoj proročkoj službi (*Lumen Gentium 12*) i tražiti te otkrivati proročke darove Duha Svetoga dane za službu. Kako Pismo uči da trebamo “čeznuti za darima Duha, a najvećma da prorokujemo” (1 Kor 14, 1), naši studenti dolaze do spoznaje da su proročki darovi Duha Svetoga jednostavno stvar slušanja Božjeg glasa za svijet oko nas, što će imati učinak izgradnje, ohrabrenja i utjehe drugih u Kristu (1 Kor 14, 3). U ovom tromjesečju, studenti će imati mnogo kreativnih prilika za proročko služenje jedni s drugima i priliku za iskrenu povratnu informaciju te rast ukorijenjen u ljubavi. Q3: Sila i ozdravljenje *Dodatno čitanje: Healing: Bringing the Gift of God’s Mercy to the World (Dr. Mary Healy)* **Opis programa** Prije nego što je Isus darovao Euharistiju ili čak i Duha Svetoga svojim učenicima, pozvao ih je da propovijedaju Evanđelje i očekivao je da ozdravljaju bolesne (Mt 10, 7-8; Lk 10, 9). Isus nikada nije propovijedao Evanđelje bez da je pokazivao i potvrđivao poruku pratećim demonstracijama sile – pri čemu je fizičko ozdravljenje bilo najčešći znak. U ovom kvartalu studenti uče teologiju ozdravljenja koja uključuje ulogu ozdravljenja u evangelizaciji i mudrost obavljanja službe ozdravljenja iz mjesta ljubavi i suosjećanja s bolesnima. Također će naučiti osnovni model ne-sakramentalne molitve za službu ozdravljanja i dobit će mnoge prilike da u sigurnom i pristupačnom okruženju sudjeluju u molitvi za ozdravljenje kao pojedinci i u timskim okruženjima. Studenti će također imati predavanja o razumijevanju uloge vjere u službi ozdravljanja, o riječima spoznaje za ozdravljenje, o snazi mira i kako nadići obeshrabrenje koje možemo doživjeti kada ne dođe do ozdravljenja. Sveukupno, studenti će steći veću sigurnost da odgovore na Isusov poziv da „svi koji vjeruju“ surađujući s Bogom mogu donositi ozdravljenje svijetu oko njih (Mk 16, 18). Q4: Nutarnje ozdravljenje i sloboda *Dodatna literatura: Be Healed (dr. Bob Schuchts) i Deliverance Ministry (Doktrinarna komisija ICCRS – CHARIS)* **Opis programa** Osposobljavanje za sudjelovanje u Isusovoj službi “liječenja slomljenih srca i povijanja njihovih rana”. Bog se objavio kao Gospodin koji “liječi one koji su srca skršena i povija rane njihove” (Ps 147, 3). U ovom tromjesečju studenti će biti osposobljeni za uključivanje u službu unutarnjeg ozdravljenja i slobode. Studenti će imati priliku rasti u želji i namjeri Božjeg srca da slomljene osobe učini cjelovitima te nastojati razviti alate i vještine za suradnju s Duhom Svetim kako bi donijeli ozdravljenje ranjenim srcima. Studenti će naučiti anatomiju rana koje doživljavamo u životu i kako surađivati ​​s Isusom kako bi donijeli slobodu od laži, neoprosta i nereda koji nastaju kao posljedica tih rana. Isus također želi da njegova djeca budu slobodna od utjecaja zlih duhova. Ovo tromjesečje također podučava kako voditi ljude u veću slobodu od utjecaja neprijatelja i hodati u punoj Božjoj zaštiti (Ps 91, Ef 6). ###### Druga godina Q5: Intimnost s Bogom *Dodatna literatura: Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love (o. Thomas Acklin i o. Boniface Hicks)* **Opis programa** Budući da su studenti veći dio vremena proveli razvijajući i njegujući svoje darove i vještine za službu, potrebno je da shvate nužnost njegovanja bogatijeg i zrelijeg molitvenog života te da budu uvjereni da sva plodonosna služba proizlazi iz bliskosti s Bogom. Isus je u konačnici umro za nas ne samo da bismo mogli otići u raj, već da bismo mogli imati istu vrstu odnosa kakvu je on imao s Ocem. Isus nam je pokazao kako izgleda bliskost, a ta bliskost s Ocem teče kroz Isusa u Duhu Svetom. Iz bogatstva naše ogromne duhovne tradicije i učenja duhovnih naučitelja Crkve, studenti će naučiti kako ostvariti veću bliskost s Bogom kroz Sveto pismo, meditativnu molitvu i kontemplativnu molitvu. Uronit će u bogatstvo Pjesme nad pjesmama, naučiti kako štovati i tražiti Božje srce kroz svjedočanstvo kralja Davida. Studenti će imati priliku rasti u zagovoru, naučiti praksu razlučivanja duhova i razvijati stil života prakticiranja Božje prisutnosti kroz prebivanje u Isusu. Q6: Napredna obuka za službu *Dodatna literatura: Gospodine, obnovi svoja čudesa (Damian Stayne)* **Opis programa** Primanje poduke i obuke od voditelja u svakom području službe iz prva četiri tromjesečja i rast na novu razinu dubine i učinkovitosti koja nije bila moguća u prvoj godini. U ovom, šestom tromjesečju ući ćemo u naprednija područja službe kojima se nismo mogli baviti u prvoj godini. U ovom će tromjesečju iskusni voditelji u svakom glavnom području službe studentima predstavljati napredne pristupe službi u cilju postizanja veće plodnosti i vjere. Q7: Evangelizacija snagom Duha Svetoga *Dodatna literatura: Do What Jesus Did (Robby Dawkins) i A New Pentecost for The New Evangelization (dr. Ralph Martin)* **Opis programa** Primanje Očeva srca za izgubljene i stjecanje vjere za propovijedanje Evanđelja i suradnju s Duhom Svetim kako bismo demonstrirali stvarnost i istinu Evanđelja snagom Božjom koju nam je dao. Do sada se sav sadržaj koji je predstavljen studentima mogao odvijati unutar četiri zida Crkve. U ovom tromjesečju studenti će naučiti praktične načine učinkovitog propovijedanja i predstavljanja Evanđelja onima kojima je potrebno njegovo spasenje i rasti u vjeri kako bi demonstrirali stvarnost kraljevstva kroz darove Duha Svetoga. Studenti će naučiti da je evangelizacija popraćena demonstracijama Božje moći dio naše baštine još od rane Crkve (1 Kor 2, 3-5). Studenti će naučiti da Crkva u konačnici postoji da bi evangelizirala i bit će izloženi bogatoj katoličkoj tradiciji učenja o evangelizaciji. Naučit će kako predstaviti temeljnu evanđeosku poruku i stvoriti uvjete za odgovor na tu poruku. Studenti će naučiti snagu svjedočanstva za otvaranje nekoga vjeri u Isusa i kako učinkovito podijeliti svoje svjedočanstvo. Otkrit će ključeve rasta u vjeri i smjelosti za evangelizaciju te praktične načine za uključivanje proročkih darova i ozdravljenja u evangelizaciju. Q8: Vodstvo i razvijanje *Dodatno štivo: Dekret o apostolatu laika* **Opis programa** Budite spremni ponovno se aktivirati u svom području utjecaja kako biste vidjeli ostvarenje snova o Kraljevstvu Božjem opremajući se za vodstvo. Svaki član Crkve primio je poziv od Boga da sudjeluje u velikom poslanju Crkve. U tu svrhu Bog je stavio različite snove i vizije u srca vjernika kako bi vidjeli očitovanje Kraljevstva Božjeg u svijetu. U ovom tromjesečju opremamo naše studente prvo vjerom da ih Bog želi upotrijebiti i vidjeti ostvarenje njihovih snova o Kraljevstvu. On traži velike svece koji žele činiti velike stvari u svijetu za njega. Polazeći od te stvarnosti, opremit ćemo naše studente praktičnim alatima i vještinama kako bi bili sposobni integrirati naučeno u postojećim župama i zajednicama, kao i mudrost i znanje potrebno za pokretanje, izgradnju i rast novih i postojećih apostolata ili službi. Studenti će također učiti i biti nadahnuti od strane sadašnjih voditelja u novoj evangelizaciji, onih koji su bili prije njih, kako bi ih potaknuli da odu iz Škole službe graditi Kraljevstvo Božje u područjima svoga utjecaja. ## Predavači ###### Voditelji Voditelji vode svu Zoom nastavu i raspoređeni su po terminima, tako da će studenti imati istog voditelja za većinu svojih Zoom nastavnih sati.

نهدف إلى تعليم وتجهيز وتفعيل التلاميذ ليعكسوا محبة الله بواسطة قوة الروح القدس في مجالات تأثيرهم. ووفقًا لتعاليم وتقاليد الكنيسة الكاثوليكية، نوفر للطلاب برنامج تدريب عملي وحيوي لمدة عامين، مصمم ليأخذك إلى المستوى التالي في خدمتك الرسولية. ## التلمذة الروحية المستمرة ###### بناء الثقة **“الحقّ الحقّ أقول لكم: من يؤمن بي، فإنّه سيفعل الأعمال التي اقوم بها، وسوف يصنع أعظم منها، لأنّي ذاهب إلى الآب” – يوحنا ١٤: ١٢** مهمتنا هي تهيئة تلاميذ مجهزين ليقوموا بـ«الأعمال الأعظم»، وكانت فكرة الرب استخدام التلمذة طويلة الأمد لهذا التدريب. قضى يسوع ثلاث سنوات مع تلاميذه، يعلّمهم، يدربهم، ويسير معهم. تغيير طريقة التفكير ونمط الحياة يحتاج إلى وقت، ولا يُفترض أن تقوم بذلك بمفردك. تقدم مدرسة انكونتر منيستري التلمذة المستمرة وأدوات عملية تساعدك على أن تجعل حياة الروح القدس الخارقة للطبيعة جزءًا طبيعيًا من حياتك اليومية، تمامًا كما أراد يسوع المنهج الدراسي ## كاثوليكي أصيل ###### التقليدي والكاريزمي نحن نؤمن أن الانقسام الثقافي الذي تعيشه الكنيسة بين “التقليدي” و”الكاريزمي” لم يكن أبدًا ما قصده الله. ومع ذلك، نعترف بوجود سوء فهم كبير ونقص عام في التكوين بشأن استخدام نعم الروح القدس وهدفها داخل الكنيسة. نحن نستمد تعاليمنا من الكتاب المقدس، والتقليد، والتعليم الرسمي للكنيسة، ومن حياة آباء الكنيسة الأوائل والقديسين. ونحن مقتنعون بأن الرب أراد دائمًا أن يُظهر أبناؤه المعمَّدون ملكوت الله من خلال الآيات والعجائب، تمامًا كما فعل هو – ونحن بحاجة إلى هذه النعم اليوم أكثر من أي وقت مضى. لقد تمّت مراجعة منهجنا التعليمي من قِبل فريق من اللاهوتيين، بالإضافة إلى كل أسقف يشرف على كل فرع من فروع المدرسة. ولا يُشترط أن تكون كاثوليكيًا للتقدّم إلى المدرسة. “لم أكن أسمع صوت الله من قبل (أو لم أكن أصدق أنه صوت الله). ولكن منذ أن بدأت الدراسة في المدرسة، اختبرت مواقف كثيرة خرجت فيها بإيمان، وامتحنت ما سمعته، وكان صحيحًا! ثم تحققت لحظة مفصلية. الآن لدي ثقة وحماس بأن الله يتكلم إليّ، وأنه معي عندما أشارك البشارة وأصلي مع الأشخاص الذين ألتقي بهم” -طالب في مدرسة انكونتر منيستري (ESM) ## تعلّم خوض المخاطر ###### انطلق بإيمان وثقة بالله ذا لم يسبق لك أن صليت من أجل الشفاء، أو كنت تجد صعوبة في سماع صوت الله، أو تشعر بالخوف من مشاركة الإنجيل مع من تقابلهم، أو كنت تسعى لفهم تعليم الكنيسة بشأن النعم الروحية – فنحن نتفهم ذلك، وزملاؤك في الدراسة كذلك. مدرسة انكونتر منيستري هي مكان آمن لتبدأ في اتخاذ خطوات إيمانية جريئة، مع تقديم أدوات ونماذج عملية وبسيطة تساعدك على اكتشاف قدراتك الروحية وممارستها بسهولة الأب ماتياس ثيلن رُسِم الأب ماتياس في عام ٢٠١٠ ويخدم كراعي لكنيسة القديس باتريك في برايتون، ميشيغان. يحمل درجتي بكالوريوس في الفلسفة والدراسات الكاثوليكية. خدم في عدة رعايا لمدة أربع سنوات قبل أن ينضم إلى هيئة التدريس في المعهد الإكليريكي “ساكريد هارت ميجور” كمرشد روحي وأستاذ مساعد في علم اللاهوت. في عام ٢٠١٦، نال الأب ثيلن درجة الليسانس في اللاهوت المقدس من جامعة الأنجليكانوم في روما. وبسبب شغفه بالتبشير وتعليم الإنجيل، لم تقتصر خدمته على مرافقة حالات شفاء مذهلة وموثّقة، بل اكتسب أيضًا سمعة في قيادته للناس نحو أحضان الآب المحبة. تم اختيار الأب ماتياس ليكون واعظًا إفخارستيًا في النهضة الإفخارستية الوطنية ومتحدثًا في المؤتمر الإفخارستي الوطني. وهو مؤلف Biblical Foundations for the Role of Healing in Evangelization (دار Wipf and Stock، ٢٠١٧) وظهر في الوثائقيين Fearless**(٢٠١٧)** و Revive (٢٠٢٠) باتريك رايس باتريك رايس هو الشريك المؤسّس والمدير التنفيذي لإنكاونتر منيستريز. وهو مؤلف الكتاب الأكثر مبيعًا Supernatural Saints: A School of Ministry from the Saints .يخدم باتريك ويُلقي المحاضرات في مؤتمرات دولية، وقد ظهر في الوثائقيين الرائدين Fearless (٢٠١٧) و Revive (٢٠٢٠) الدكتورة ماري هيلي ماري هيلي هي إنها أستاذة في الكتابات المقدسة في المعهد الرئيسي للقلب الأقدس في ديترويت ومتحدثة دولية في مواضيع متعلقة بالكتاب المقدس، التبشير، الشفاء، والحياة الروحية. هي المحررة العامة للتعليق الكاثوليكي على الكتاب المقدس ومؤلفة مجلدين منه، هما إنجيل مرقس ورسالة العبرانيين، بالإضافة إلى عدة كتب أخرى. تشغل الدكتورة هيلي منصب رئيسة اللجنة اللاهوتية في CHARIS (الخدمة الدولية للتجديد الكاريزمي) في روما. وتخدم في المجلس البابوي لتعزيز الوحدة المسيحية كعضو في الحوار الدولي بين الخمسينيين والكاثوليك. في عام ٢٠١٤، عيّنها البابا فرنسيس كواحدة من أول ثلاث نساء يخدمن في اللجنة البابوية للكتاب المقدس ## الحرم الجامعي الإلكتروني ###### **تعليم قابل للتكيف مع مجتمع عالمي** يتبع الحرم الجامعي الإلكتروني نفس منهج الدورات الدراسية كما في جميع الفروع الأخرى. مع ميزة المرونة في مشاهدة جلسات التعليم في الوقت المناسب، إلى جانب التواصل الأسبوعي مع الطلاب من مختلف أنحاء العالم، يُعد الحرم الجامعي الإلكتروني الخيار الأمثل لأولئك الذين يعيشون بعيدًا عن الفروع الميدانية أو الذين تتطلب جداولهم الزمنية المزيد من الحرية والمرونة. ## مقاطع فيديو تتوفر مقاطع الفيديو الخاصة بالفصل الجديد كل أسبوع على لوحة تحكم الطالب، يرافقك في استكمال المنهج الدراسي مع تمارين الواجب المنزلي المخصصة، والقراءات الإضافية، وكتابة اليوميات أو أنشطة أخرى. تابع الجلستين في الوقت الذي يناسبك حسب مرونة جدولك، مع ضرورة إتمام المشاهدة قبل كل حصة أسبوعية المباشرة عبر زووم. جميع الجلسات تُدرّس بواسطة

منيستري باستخدام أفضل ما في يسوع وأفضل ما في التكنولوجيا لتوسيع ملكوت الله! ونحن سعداء بالإعلان عن أننا قد طورنا ترجمات دقيقة وتعليقات صوتية بلغات متعددة لجميع جلساتنا التعليمية، باللغات: الإنجليزية، والإسبانية، والفرنسية، والألمانية! جرّب نموذجًا من مشغّل الوسائط المتطور لدينا، واختر الترجمة واللغة لترى ما سيكون متاحًا لجميع الطلاب عبر لوحة تحكم الطالب الخاصة بهم! ## المنهج الدراسي **متجذر في الإيمان الكاثوليكي الأصيل، مُراجَع من لاهوتيين، ومُصدَّق عليه من الأساقفة** (زر) موافقات الأساقفة ## المراجعة اللاهوتية ***الكتاب المقدس، التقليد، آباء الكنيسة، العقيدة الكاثوليكية*** صارمة من قِبل فريق من اللاهوتيين الكاثوليك المرموقين. خلال العام الأكاديمي ٢٠٢٠-٢٠٢١، خضعت إنكاونتر منيستريز لمراجعة أكاديمية دقيقة للمنهج الدراسي بالتعاون مع فريق من اللاهوتيين الكاثوليك ذوي السمعة الطيبة، وذلك لتقييم منهج مدرسة إنكاونتر. وقد تم منح كل أستاذ صلاحية الوصول الكامل إلى المحتوى الذي يتم تدريسه في المدرسة للفصول التي تم تكليفه بمراجعتها. لم يقتصر عملهم على التأكد من خلو المنهج من الأخطاء الأخلاقية أو العقائدية، وأنه متجذر بعمق في الكتاب المقدس والتعليم الرسمي للكنيسة وشهادة آباء الكنيسة الأوائل، بل ساهموا أيضًا في تعزيز الدقة والوضوح في المنهج لتقليل أي لبس محتمل وضمان التوافق الكامل مع تعليم الكنيسة. ###### السنة الأولى الفصل الأول: الهوية والتحول القراءة التكميلية: بقلم باتريك رايس Supernatural Saints **وصف الدورة بناء أساس لكل منيستري على هويتك الملكية كأبناء وبنات الله الذين يختبرون التحول من خلال تجديد الفكر. قبل أن يتلقى الطلاب التعليم والتدريب في مجالات المنيستري المختلفة، يجب أن يعرفوا من هم ولمن ينتمون. يركز الفصل الدراسي الأول على الهوية الملكية التي نحصل عليها كأبناء وبنات الله الذين ورثوا ميراثًا ليقوموا بأعمال يسوع وأعمال أعظم منها (يوحنا ١٤:١٢). خلال هذا الفصل، يعمل الطلاب على التحول من عقلية تعتمد على الأداء حيث يأتي تقديرهم وهويتهم من ما يفعلونه من أجل الله، إلى هوية يستمدون فيها قيمتهم من كونهم أبناء وبنات الله فقط. يتعلم الطلاب طبيعة التحول من خلال تجديد الفكر ويسعون إلى التحول من التفكير بمنظور أرضي إلى منظور سماوي فيما يتعلق بالمنيستري (متى ١٦:٢٣) في كل حصة، يزداد فهم الطلاب لهويتهم كهيكل للروح القدس، ويقتنعون بالطبيعة الجديدة التي تلقيناها من يسوع من خلال المعمودية، ويعيشون بقوة الروح القدس، ويستجيبون للسلطة التي منحونا إياها لتوسيع ملكوت الله وحياة مكرسة للرسالة. في كل حصة، يختبر الطلاب عوالم جديدة من محبة الله وكيف يرى الآبنا في يسوع. الفصل الثاني: سماع صوت الله وهبات النبوة من الروح القدس القراءة التكميلية: The Spiritual Gifts Handbook من تأليف الدكتورة ماري هيلي والدكتور راندي كلارك **وصف الدورة علّمنا يسوع أنه الراعي الصالح ونحن غنمه، وأننا نسمع صوته (يوحنا ١٠:٤). في الجزء الأول من هذا الفصل، سيدرك الطلاب أن قدرتهم على سماع صوت الله تأتي من هويتهم في الله وليس من أعمالهم من أجله. سيقضي الطلاب وقتًا في تعلم “لغة الروح القدس” الذي يتحدث إلينا من خلالنا، وفن التمييز اللازم للتعرف على صوته بين صوتنا أو صوت العدو. بعد أن ينموا في فهم أكبر وثقة أكبر لسماع صوت الله لحياتهم الخاصة، سيتعلم الطلاب معنى المشاركة في وظيفة المسيح النبوية (لومين جنتيوم ١٢) والسعي لاكتشاف نعم الروح القدس النبوية للمنيستري. كما يعلمنا الكتاب المقدس أن “نطلب الهبات الروحية بكل جدّ، خاصةً أن نتنبأ” (١ كورنثوس ١٤:١)، يدرك طلابنا أن الهبات النبوية للروح القدس هي ببساطة مسألة سماع صوت الله للعالم من حولنا، والتي تؤدي إلى بناء وتشجيع وتعزية الآخرين في المسيح (١ كورنثوس ١٤:٣). في هذا الفصل، سيحظى الطلاب بالكثير من الفرص الإبداعية للخدمة النبوية مع بعضهم البعض، بالإضافة إلى فرص لتقديم ملاحظات صادقة ونمو قائم على المحبة. الفصل الثالث: القوة والشفاء القراءة التكميلية: Healing: Bringing the Gift of God’s Mercy to the World من تأليف الدكتورة ماري هيلي **وصف الدورة قبل أن يمنح يسوع تلاميذه القربان المقدس أو الروح القدس، دعاهم إلى تبشير الإنجيل وتوقع منهم شفاء المرضى (متى ١٠:٧-٨؛ لوقا ١٠:٩). لم يعلن يسوع الإنجيل أبدًا دون أن يرافق ذلك إظهار وتأكيد للرسالة من خلال دلائل القوة — وكان الشفاء الجسدي العلامة الأكثر شيوعًا. في هذا الفصل، يتعلم الطلاب لاهوت الشفاء الذي يشمل دور الشفاء في التبشير والحكمة بأن خدمة الشفاء تتم من مكان المحبة والرحمة تجاه المرضى. كما سيتعلمون نموذجًا بسيطا للصلاة وغير سرّي مخصص لخدمة الشفاء، ويحظون بالعديد من الفرص في بيئة آمنة ومتواضعة للمشاركة في صلاة الشفاء سواء كأفراد أو ضمن فرق. سيحصل الطلاب أيضًا على جلسات لفهم دور الإيمان في خدمة الشفاء، وكلمات المعرفة المتعلقة بالشفاء، وقوة السلام، وكيفية التغلب على الإحباط الذي قد نشعر به عندما لا يحدث الشفاء. وبشكل عام، سيكتسب الطلاب ثقة أكبر في الاستجابة لدعوة يسوع بأن “كل من يؤمن” يمكن أن يستخدمه الله ليجلب الشفاء للعالم من حوله (مرقس ١٦:١٨). الفصل الرابع: الشفاء الداخلي والحرية القراءة التكميلية: Be Healed من تأليف الدكتور بوب شوكتس و Deliverance Ministry من إعداد لجنة العقيدة في خدمات التجديد الكاثوليكي الكارزماتي الدولية. **وصف الدورة التزوّد بالمهارات للمشاركة في خدمة يسوع في “شفاء المنكسري القلوب وتضميد جراحهم.”. قد أعلن الله عن نفسه بأنه الرب الذي “يشفي المنكسري القلوب ويضمد جراحهم” (مزمور ١٤٧:٣). في هذا الفصل، سيتزوّد الطلاب بالمؤهلات اللازمة للمشاركة في خدمة الشفاء الداخلي والحرية. سيُمنح الطلاب الفرصة للنمو في فهم قلب الله ورغبته في شفاء المنكسرين، كما سيسعون لتعلّم أدوات ومهارات عملية للتعاون مع الروح القدس في جلب الشفاء للقلب. سيتعلم الطلاب تشريح الجروح النفسية التي نمر بها في الحياة، وكيفية التعاون مع يسوع لتحقيق الحرية من الأكاذيب، وعدم الغفران، والاضطرابات التي تنشأ عن هذه الجروح. كما أن يسوع يرغب في أن يكون أبناؤه أحرارًا من تأثير الأرواح الشريرة. يتضمن هذا الفصل أيضًا تعليمًا حول كيفية قيادة الآخرين نحو حرية أعمق من تأثير العدو، والسير في حماية الله الكاملة (مزمور ٩١، أفسس ٦) ###### السنة الثانية الفصل الخامس: الألفة مع الله القراءة التكميلية: Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love، للأب توماس آكلين والأب بونيفاس هيكس (متوفر على أمازون أو عند بائع محلي) **وصف الدورة نظرًا لأن الطلاب قد قضوا معظم وقتهم في تنمية وتطوير مواهبهم ومهارات خدمتهم، فإنهم بحاجة إلى فهم ضرورة تنمية حياة صلاة أعمق وأكثر نضجًا، والإقتناع بأن كل خدمة مثمرة تنبع من الأُنس بالله. لقد مات يسوع في النهاية من أجلنا، ليس فقط لكي ندخل السماء، بل لكي يكون لنا نفس نوع العلاقة التي كان يتمتع بها هو مع الآب. لقد قدم يسوع لنا نموذجًا لما تعنيه الألفة مع الله، وهذه الألفة مع الآب تتدفق من خلال يسوع بالروح القدس. من خلال غنى تراثنا الروحي الواسع وتعاليم أطباء الكنيسة الروحيين، سيتعلم الطلاب كيفية الدخول في علاقة أعمق مع الله عبر الكتاب المقدس، والصلاة التأملية، والصلاة المتأملة. سوف يغوصون في كنوز سفر نشيد الأنشاد، ويتعلمون كيفية العبادة والسعي وراء قلب الله من خلال شهادة داود. سيحظى الطلاب بفرصة للنمو في الصلاة الشفاعة، وتعلم ممارسة تمييز الأرواح، وتنمية أسلوب حياة يعتمد على ممارسة حضور الله من خلال الثبات في يسوع. الفصل السادس: تدريب المنستري المتقدم القراءة التكميلية: **Lord, Renew Your Wonders**، تأليف داميان ستاين **وصف الدورة** تلقي التعليم والتوجيه من القادة في كل مجال من مجالات الخدمة خلال الفصول الأربعة الأولى، والوصول إلى مستوى جديد من العمق والتأثير لم يكن ممكنًا في السنة الأولى. في الفصل السادس، سندخل في مجالات أكثر تقدمًا من الخدمة لم نتمكن من معالجتها في السنة الأولى. في هذا الفصل، سيقوم قادة متمرسون في كل مجال رئيسي من مجالات الخدمة بتقديم محاضرات للطلاب حول أساليب متقدمة في الخدمة، تهدف إلى تحقيق ثمار روحية أعظم وإيمان أعمق الفصل السابع: التبشير بالقوة الروحية القراءة التكميلية:**Do What Jesus Did**، تأليف روبي داوكينز، و **A New Pentecost for The New Evangelization**، تأليف الدكتور رالف مارتن. **وصف الدورة** نيل قلب الآب تجاه الضالين، واكتساب الإيمان للتبشير بالإنجيل والتعاون مع الروح القدس لإظهار حقيقة وواقعية الإنجيل بقوة الله التي وهبها لنا. حتى هذه المرحلة، كان بإمكان جميع المحتويات التي قُدّمت للطلاب أن تُطبّق داخل جدران الكنيسة الأربعة. أما في هذا الفصل، فسيتعلّم الطلاب طرقًا عملية وفعالة للتبشير بالإنجيل وتقديمه للذين هم في حاجة إلى خلاصه، كما سينمون في الإيمان لإظهار واقع ملكوت الله من خلال نعم الروح القدس. سيتعلّم الطلاب أن التبشير، المصحوب بإظهار قوة الله، هو جزء من إرثنا الذي يعود إلى الكنيسة الأولى (١ كورنثوس ٢: ٣-٥). وسيتعرّفون على أن الكنيسة موجودة في جوهرها من أجل التبشير، وسيتم تعريفهم على تقليد غني من التعليم حول التبشير الذي نملكه ككاثوليك. سيتعلّمون كيفية تقديم الرسالة الأساسية للإنجيل والرد المطلوب تجاه هذه الرسالة وقوة الشهادة الشخصية في فتح قلب الآخرين للإيمان بيسوع، وكيفية مشاركة شهادتهم بفعالية . إضافة الى ذلك، سيكتشفون مفاتيح التعمق في الإيمان والجرأة للتبشير، وطرقًا عملية لدمج المواهب النبوية وشفاء المرضى في خدمة التبشير. الفصل الثامن: القيادة والنشر القراءة التكميلية: مرسوم رسالة العلمانيين Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity **وصف الدورة** الاستعداد للانطلاق مجددًا في دائرة تأثيرك لتحقيق أحلام الملكوت على أرض الواقع من خلال تأهيل الطلاب ليصبحوا قادة. كل عضو في الكنيسة قد تلقى دعوة من الله للمشاركة في المهمة العظمى. ولهذا الغرض، وضع الله أحلامًا ورؤى مختلفة في قلوب المؤمنين لكي يُرى ملكوت الله متجليًا في العالم. في هذا الفصل، نجهز طلابنا أولاً بالإيمان بأن الله يريد أن يستخدمهم ويرى أحلامهم الملكوتية تتحقق. إنه يبحث عن قديسين عظماء يرغبون في عمل أشياء عظيمة في العالم من أجله. انطلاقًا من هذه الحقيقة، سنزوّد طلابنا بأدوات ومهارات عملية تمكنهم من دمج ما تعلموه مع الأبرشيات والمجتمعات القائمة، وكذلك بالحكمة والمعرفة اللازمة للانطلاق وبناء وتنمية الرسالات أو المنستريزالجديدة والقائمة على حد سواء. سيتعلم الطلاب أيضًا ويستلهمون من القادة الحاليين في حركة التبشير الجديدة الذين سبقوهم، وذلك لدفعهم للمضي قدمًا بعد المدرسة لبناء ملكوت الله في دوائر تأثيرهم. ## حصة المباشرة عبر زووم كل أسبوع، ستنضم إلى حصة مباشرة عبر منصة مجانية لعقد المؤتمرات بالفيديو تُدعى “زووم”. ستُقاد حصتك التفاعلية على زووم بواسطة الميسّر

C’était bouleversant de voir comment le Seigneur enseignait, guérissait, et venait nous rencontrer là où nous étions — que ce soit sur le campus ou en ligne, aux États-Unis ou ailleurs, dans nos salons, nos bureaux, nos cuisines ou même sur nos terrasses. Mon salon est littéralement devenu un lieu saint. Sa Présence était tangible. » « J’ai été profondément touché par la qualité et la solidité de l’enseignement. La théologie était belle, profonde. J’ai grandi dans le Renouveau charismatique et, à l’époque, lorsque j’étais enfant, la théologie n’était pas aussi claire, développée et structurée que ce que j’ai découvert pendant le Summer Intensive. Là, tout prenait sens : il y avait une véritable réflexion, une vision théologique forte, et une méthode. C’était tout simplement excellent. » « Tout cela était entièrement nouveau pour moi — les paroles de connaissance, la prophétie, et tout ce monde spirituel que je connaissais à peine — et pourtant, j’ai eu la certitude que le Père confirmait en moi une œuvre qu’il avait déjà commencée : ce désir de rejoindre les autres, de leur faire goûter, eux aussi, son dessein et la vraie liberté qu’il veut pour chacun, ici et maintenant. J’ai vu et entendu des choses qui relevaient du miracle. J’ai vécu ces instants où je me suis dit : “Comment auraient-ils pu savoir cela, sinon par la grâce de l’Esprit Saint ?” Il m’est même arrivé de laisser toute la place à Dieu et de transmettre une parole qui m’a moi-même étonné par sa justesse et sa précision. Et j’ai vécu quelque chose qui a littéralement bouleversé ma vie. » #### **Inscription** **Quel créneau *Zoom* ?** *Les séances sur Zoom ont lieu une fois par semaine le mercredi après-midi ou soir (heures françaises). **Attention, l’inscription au Summer Intensive en ligne ne donne pas accès à la Formation Flash en présentiel à Versailles, et inversement.*** ***Session 1 :** mercredi 4 Juin \| **Session 2 :** mercredi 11 Juin \| **Session 3 :** mercredi 18 Juin \| **Session 4 :** mercredi 25 Juin* Session de l’après-midi : 15h00 – 17h00 (heure française) Session du soir : 20h00 – 22h00 (heure française) --- ### [ESMO Spanish (Home) (redirect)](https://es.encounterschool.org/virtual/) **Published:** March 21, 2022 **Author:** Encounter Ministries **Content:** campus virtual en español summer intensive Portal Estudiantil Aprendizaje flexible con una comunidad que se extiende por todo el mundo.### Vídeos ### Sesión en directo vía Zoom ### Instructores ### Admisión ### Horario ### Plan de estudios ### Vídeos ### Sesión en directo vía Zoom ### Horario ### Plan de estudios ### Instructores ### Admisión ## **Descripción general** El Campus Virtual sigue el mismo plan de estudios que los demás campus, pero con la flexibilidad de poder ver las enseñanzas en vídeo y asistir a una sesión en directo semanal vía videoconferencia junto a una comunidad de estudiantes de todo el mundo.

En este portal encontrarás todas las enseñanzas en vídeo, el material de apoyo, las tareas, los exámenes y un foro estudiantil. Plan de estudios ## Plan de estudios **Auténticamente católico. Revisado por teólogos. Aprobado por el obispo.** aprobaciones del obispo ###### Descripción general Antes de su aprobación, nuestro currículo fue sometido a una rigurosa revisión académica por parte de un equipo de distinguidos teólogos católicos, entre ellos la Dra. Mary Healy, el Dr. Alan Schreck, el Dr. Daniel Keating, el Rev. Peter F. Ryan, S.J., y el Dr. Robert Fastiggi. No solo garantizaron que el currículo estuviera libre de errores morales y doctrinales y profundamente arraigado en la Sagrada Escritura, la enseñanza oficial de la Iglesia y el testimonio de los primeros Padres de la Iglesia, sino que también contribuyeron a que el currículo fuera más preciso y exacto para reducir posibles confusiones y garantizar la plena continuidad con la enseñanza de la Iglesia. ###### **Primer año** M1: Identidad y transformación *Lectura complementaria: “Santos Sobrenaturales”, de Patrick Reis.* ###### **Descripción del curso** Establecer el fundamento de todo ministerio en la identidad de realeza de hijos e hijas de Dios que experimentan transformación mediante la renovación de la mente. Antes de recibir cualquier enseñanza o entrenamiento en áreas particulares del ministerio, los estudiantes deben saber quiénes son y de quiénes son. El primer módulo se centra en la identidad como reyes y reinas que han recibido por ser hijos e hijas de Dios y en la herencia que les ha sido dada para hacer las obras de Jesús y aún mayores (Jn 14,12). A lo largo del módulo, los alumnos trabajan para cambiar de una mentalidad basada en el desempeño en la que su valor e identidad provienen de lo que hacen para Dios, a una identidad en la que su valor proviene únicamente de lo que son, hijos e hijas de Dios. Los estudiantes aprenden la naturaleza de la transformación por la renovación de la mente y buscan cambiar su forma de pensar de una perspectiva terrenal a una celestial en lo que se refiere al ministerio (Mateo 16,23). En cada clase, los estudiantes llegan a comprender y experimentar su identidad como templos del Espíritu Santo, se convencen de la nueva naturaleza que han recibido de Jesús a través del bautismo, viven en el poder del Espíritu Santo y responden a la autoridad que han recibido para extender el reino de Dios y así vivir en misión. En cada clase, los estudiantes descubren nuevos ámbitos del amor de Dios y de cómo el Padre nos ve en Jesús. M2: La escucha de Dios y los dones proféticos del Espíritu Santo *Lectura complementaria: “The Spiritual Gifts Handbook” por la Dra. Mary Healy y Dr. Randy Clark* **Descripción del curso** Jesús nos dijo que Él es el Buen Pastor y que nosotros somos sus ovejas que escuchan su voz (Jn 10,4). En la primera parte de este módulo, los alumnos comprenderán que su capacidad para oír la voz de Dios proviene de su relación con Dios y no de sus acciones. Los estudiantes aprenderán el «lenguaje del Espíritu Santo», que nos habla a través de nosotros mismos, y adquirirán el discernimiento necesario para distinguir la voz de Dios de la nuestra o de la del enemigo. Tras adquirir una mayor comprensión y confianza para escuchar la voz de Dios en su vida, los estudiantes aprenderán qué significa compartir la función profética de Cristo (Lumen Gentium 12) y buscar y descubrir los dones proféticos del Espíritu Santo para el ministerio. La Escritura enseña que debemos «anhelar también los dones espirituales, y, sobre todo, el don de profecía». (1 Cor 14,1), nuestros estudiantes aprenden que los dones proféticos del Espíritu Santo son simplemente una cuestión de escuchar la voz de Dios para el mundo que nos rodea, con el fin de edificar, animar y consolar a otros en Cristo (1 Cor 14,3). En este módulo, los estudiantes tendrán muchas oportunidades creativas para el ministerio profético y para recibir retroalimentación honesta que les permitirá crecer desde el amor. M3: Poder y sanación física *Lectura complementaria: “Sanando: Llevando la misericordia de Dios al mundo” por la Dra. Mary Healy* ###### ***Beschreibung des Kurses*** **Descripción del curso** Antes de la institución de la Eucaristía e incluso antes de que el Espíritu Santo descendiera sobre sus apóstoles, Jesús envió a sus discípulos a predicar el Evangelio y a curar a los enfermos (Mt 10, 7-8; Lc 10, 9). Jesús nunca proclamó el Evangelio sin manifestar y confirmar el mensaje con demostraciones de poder, siendo la sanación física el signo más frecuente. En este módulo, los estudiantes aprenderán una teología sobre la sanación y conocerán su papel en la evangelización. Además, profundizarán en la importancia de que el ministerio de sanación se realice desde el amor y la compasión por los enfermos. También aprenderán un modelo básico de oración no sacramental para el ministerio de sanación y recibirán muchas oportunidades para participar en la oración de sanación, tanto individualmente como en equipo, en un entorno seguro y sencillo. Los estudiantes también recibirán enseñanzas para comprender el papel de la fe y las palabras de conocimiento en el ministerio de sanación. También aprenderán el poder de la paz para la sanación y cómo superar el desánimo que podemos experimentar cuando no se produce la curación. En general, los estudiantes adquirirán una mayor confianza para responder a la invitación de Jesús de que todos los que creen pueden ser instrumentos en manos de Dios para llevar sanación al mundo que les rodea (Mc 16, 18). M4: Sanación interior y libertad *Lectura complementaria: “Sé sanado: Una guía para el encuentro con el poderoso amor de Jesús en tu vida” por Dr. Bob Schuchts* **Descripción del curso** Se trata de estar equipado para participar en el ministerio de Jesús de «sanar los corazones destrozados y vendar sus heridas» Dios se ha revelado como el Señor que «sana los corazones destrozados, venda sus heridas» (Sal 147, 3). En este módulo, los estudiantes aprenderán a participar en el ministerio de sanación interior y libertad. Los estudiantes tendrán la oportunidad de profundizar en el corazón y el deseo de Dios de ver sanados a los quebrantados y de adquirirán herramientas y habilidades para colaborar con el Espíritu Santo en la sanación del corazón. Aprenderán la anatomía de las heridas que experimentamos en la vida y cómo unirse a Jesús para traer la libertad de las mentiras, la falta de perdón y el desorden que estas heridas provocan. Jesús también desea que sus hijos sean libres de la influencia de espíritus malignos. Este módulo enseña también a llevar a las personas a una mayor libertad de la influencia del enemigo y a caminar con la plena protección de Dios (Sal 91, Ef 6). ###### **Segundo año** M5: Intimidad con Dios *Lectura complementaria: “Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love” por P. Thomas Acklin and P. Boniface Hicks* **Descripción del curso** Dado que los estudiantes han pasado la mayor parte de su tiempo cultivando sus dones y habilidades ministeriales, necesitan comprender la necesidad de alimentar una vida de oración madura y profunda y convencerse de que todo ministerio fructífero fluye de la intimidad con Dios. En última instancia, Jesús murió por nosotros no sólo para que pudiéramos llegar al cielo, sino para que pudiéramos tener la misma relación que Él disfruta con el Padre. Jesús nos mostró cómo es esta relación de intimidad con el Padre Dios y cómo esta intimidad fluye de Jesús hacia nosotros en el Espíritu Santo. A partir de la riqueza de nuestra vasta tradición espiritual y de la enseñanza de los doctores de la Iglesia, los estudiantes aprenderán a tener una mayor intimidad con Dios a través de la Escritura, la oración meditativa y la contemplativa. Se sumergirán en las riquezas del Cantar de los Cantares, aprenderán a dar culto a Dios y a buscar su corazón a través del testimonio de David. Los estudiantes tendrán la oportunidad de crecer en la intercesión, aprender el discernimiento de espíritus y cultivar un estilo de vida de estar en la presencia de Dios a través de permanecer en Jesús. M6: Formación ministerial avanzada *Lectura complementaria: “Señor, renueva tus maravillas: los dones espirituales para hoy” por Damian Stayne* **Descripción del curso** Se trata de alcanzar un nuevo nivel de profundidad y eficacia que no fue posible en el primer año. Contaremos con la formación de líderes de cada área del ministerio de los cuatro primeros módulos. En este sexto módulo, nos adentraremos en áreas más avanzadas del ministerio que no pudimos abordar el primer año. Líderes experimentados en cada una de las áreas principales del ministerio presentarán a los estudiantes enfoques avanzados para ministrar con el fin de obtener mayores frutos y aumentar la fe. M7: Evangelización con poder *Lectura complementaria: “Do What Jesus Did” por Robby Dawkins y “A New Pentecost for The New Evangelization” por Dr. Ralph Martin* ###### ***Beschreibung des Kurses*** **Descripción del curso** Se trata de recibir el corazón del Padre por los perdidos y aumentar la fe para predicar el Evangelio, uniendo fuerzas con el Espíritu Santo para demostrar la realidad y la verdad del Evangelio con el poder de Dios que Él mismo nos ha dado. Hasta este punto, todo el contenido presentado a los estudiantes puede suceder dentro del templo. En este módulo, los estudiantes aprenderán maneras prácticas de predicar y presentar el Evangelio a las personas que necesitan la salvación de Jesús. Además, obtendrán la fe necesaria para demostrar la realidad del reino a través de los dones del Espíritu Santo. Los alumnos aprenderán que la evangelización, acompañada de demostraciones del poder de Dios, forma parte de nuestra herencia, que se remonta a la Iglesia primitiva (1 Cor 2, 3-5). Aprenderán que la Iglesia existe, en última instancia, para evangelizar, y conocerán la rica tradición y enseñanza católica dedicada a la evangelización. Aprenderán a presentar el mensaje básico del Evangelio y la respuesta que este exige. Aprenderán el poder del testimonio para transmitir la fe en Jesús y aprenderán a compartir su testimonio de manera eficaz. Descubrirán las claves para aumentar su fe y valentía para evangelizar, y aprenderán formas prácticas de incorporar los dones proféticos y la sanación a la labor de evangelizar. M8: Liderazgo y envío *Lectura complementaria: “Decreto sobre el apostolado de los laicos”* **Descripción del curso** Estando preparados para ser enviados de vuelta a su círculo de influencia para hacer realidad los sueños del reino, los estudiantes se equipan para convertirse en líderes. Cada miembro de la Iglesia ha recibido una llamada de Dios para participar en la Gran Comisión. Con este fin, Dios ha inspirado varios sueños y visiones en los corazones de los fieles para que el reino de Dios se manifieste en el mundo. En este módulo, primero les inculcamos a nuestros estudiantes la fe de que Dios quiere usarlos y quiere que sus sueños del reino se hagan realidad. Él busca grandes santos que quieran hacer grandes cosas en el mundo por Él. A partir de esta realidad, dotaremos a nuestros estudiantes de herramientas y habilidades prácticas para que puedan integrar lo aprendido en sus parroquias y comunidades. Además, obtendrán la sabiduría y los conocimientos necesarios para hacer crecer apostolados y ministerios ya existentes y construir nuevos. Los estudiantes también aprenderán de los actuales líderes de la Nueva Evangelización que les han precedido para impulsarse a salir de la escuela y construir el reino de Dios en sus círculos de influencia. ## en directo vía *zoom* Cada semana, te unirás a una clase en vivo a través de Zoom, una plataforma gratuita de videoconferencias.

Todo o ministério frutuoso flui não de um maior desempenho ou esforço, mas da nossa identidade como filhos e filhas amados de Deus. A transformação que precisamos de sofrer vem da “renovação da vossa mente” (cf. Rm 12,2) e do pensamento a partir da mente de Cristo. **SESSÃO 1***: VISÃO GERAL* **SESSÃO 2***: RENOVAÇÃO DA MENTE, ALUNOS DO SOBRENATURAL* ### Profecia **Semana 2: Ouvindo a Voz de Deus e os Dons Proféticos do Espirito Santo** *“Minhas ovelhas ouvem a minha voz…” (João 10,27)* **SESSÕES 3 & 4** O nosso objetivo é crescer na nossa relação com Deus e esforçamo-nos por nos tornarmos mais conscientes da forma como Ele nos fala, para nosso próprio bem. A partir desta base, somos capazes de nos mover nos dons proféticos do Espírito Santo que Deus nos permite ouvir a Sua voz de diferentes formas para o mundo à nossa volta. **SESSÃO 3:** OUVINDO A VOZ DE DEUS **SESSÃO 4:** ATIVAÇÕES PROFÉTICAS ### Cura ***Semana 3: Poder e Cura*** *“…imporão as mãos sobre os enfermos e eles serão curados…” (Marcos 16,18)* **SESSÕES 5 & 6** Jesus nunca proclamou o Evangelho sem demonstrá-lo em poder e amor. O ministério de cura de Jesus está no centro do seu Evangelho de poder e ele espera que os seus discípulos ministrem a sua cura na terra (cf Mt 16,18-19). Esta aula fornece uma base para a parceria com o Espírito Santo para trazer a cura ao mundo à nossa volta. **SESSÃO 5:** *TEOLOGIA DA CURA* **SESSÃO 6:** *MODELO DE ORAÇÃO EM CINCO PASSOS* ### Cura Interior **Semana 4: Cura Interior e Liberdade** *“Pois Deus não nos deu um espírito de medo, mas de poder, amor e equilíbrio.” (2 Timóteo 1,7)* **SESSÃO 7 & 8** Jesus Cristo veio para libertar os cativos e os prisioneiros. Ele quer que estejamos em parceria com Ele para trazer liberdade e integridade a um mundo quebrado. Esse é um dos trimestres mais intensos, esta aula vai ajudar na compreensão de como podemos ser mais eficazes em curar corações com Cristo e libertar aqueles que sofrem da opressão do inimigo. **SESSÃO 7:** CURA INTERIOR E LIBERDADE **SESSÃO 8:** FERRAMENTAS PRÁTICAS ## Aulas ao Vivo pelo *zoom* Você participará semanalmente de uma aula ao vivo pela plataforma Zoom. Sua turma online será conduzida por um facilitador, incluindo oração, perguntas e respostas, ativações e divisão em pequenos grupos para partilha e oração. ###### **Ativações** As ativações colocam em prática o que você aprendeu. No Campus Online, você terá oportunidades em grupos menores para compartilhar experiências, orar com outros participantes e ativar os dons sobrenaturais dados por Deus. ###### Grupos Pequenos Cada aula no zoom inclui um tempo com seu pequeno grupo de partilha, que é formado no início do programa. Esses grupos caminharão com você durante sua jornada, sendo um espaço para praticar, rezar, solucionar problemas e desfrutar dos seus progressos com essa dinâmica de pequenos grupos. ### Registro ### Escolha um Curso Cada estudante deve escolher **uma turma** nos dias e horários abaixo.

Foi incrível ver como o Senhor estava ensinando, curando, vindo até onde estávamos, seja no campus presencial ou online, nos Estados Unidos ou no exterior, em nossas salas de estar, escritórios, cozinhas ou varandas. Minha sala de estar se tornou um espaço santo. A Presença DEle era palpável!” *“Fiquei muito impressionado com a profundidade e solidez do ensino. A teologia era linda. Cresci na renovação carismática e, na minha infância, a teologia não era tão bem desenvolvida e articulada como eu me deparei durante o Intensivo de inverno. Existe toda uma ciência, teologia e método por trás disso. Excelente.”* *“Tudo isso é totalmente novo pra mim (palavras de conhecimento, profecia, etc.), e ainda assim fui confirmado no que o Pai já havia começado em mim. A minha missão com as pessoas, meu desejo desesperado de que elas também experimentem Seu propósito e a verdadeira liberdade AGORA, nesta vida. Também vi e ouvi coisas milagrosas. Vivi momentos do tipo: “Como eles poderiam saber disso, se não fosse pela graça do Espírito Santo?” Houve até vezes em que eu simplesmente fui em direção a alguém e com Deus entreguei uma palavra — e me surpreendi com o quão específica ela era. E experimentei algo que abalou o meu mundo.”* --- ### [ESMO Portuguese (redirect)](https://pt.encounterschool.org/) **Published:** January 15, 2025 **Author:** jess@encounterministries.us **Excerpt:** The Online Campus follows the same course curriculum as all other campuses.

Em conformidade com os ensinamentos e tradições da Igreja Católica, oferecemos aos estudantes um programa de formação dinâmica de 2 anos, desenvolvido para o levar ao nível seguinte o seu ministério. ## *****Faites du surnaturel la norme de votre quotidien***** ***Fiel à doutrina da Igreja sobre os dons do Espírito Santo.*** A maioria das pessoas não vive momentos sobrenaturais na sua vida quotidiana. Há um grande desfasamento entre as suas próprias experiências das histórias das Escrituras ou da vida dos santos. Se você sabe, que Jesus Cristo não morreu por uma igreja sem poder, então você pode estar à procura do mais que é prometido por Deus. A Escola de Ministério Encounter pode renovar radicalmente a sua mente e transformar a sua vida ## **DISCIPULADO A LONGO PRAZO** ***Criar confiança*** ***Em verdade, em verdade vos digo: aquele que crê em mim fará também as obras que eu faço, e fará ainda maiores do que estas, porque vou para junto do Pai. – João 14,12*** A nossa missão é formar discípulos que estejam preparados para fazer “obras maiores”, e foi ideia do Senhor usar o discipulado a longo prazo para esta formação. Jesus passou três anos com os Seus discípulos, ensinando-os, formando-os e caminhando com eles. Mudar a sua mentalidade e estilo de vida leva tempo, e não é suposto fazê-lo sozinho. A Escola de Ministério Encounter oferece um discipulado a longo prazo e ferramentas práticas para que você possa tornar a vida sobrenatural do Espírito Santo uma parte natural da sua vida quotidiana, tal como Jesus pretendia. ## AUTENTICAMENTE CATÓLICO ***Tradicional e carismático*** Acreditamos que a divisão cultural vivida na Igreja entre os “tradicionais” e os “carismáticos” nunca foi a intenção de Deus. No entanto, podemos reconhecer que tem havido um grande mal-entendido e uma falta geral de formação relativamente ao uso e objetivo dos dons espirituais na Igreja. Extraímos os nossos ensinamentos das Escrituras, da tradição, do ensino oficial da Igreja, da vida dos primeiros Padres da Igreja e da vida dos santos. Estamos convencidos de que o Senhor sempre pretendeu que os seus filhos baptizados demonstrassem o Reino de Deus através de sinais e maravilhas, tal como Ele fez – e precisamos destes dons agora mais do que nunca. O nosso currículo foi revisto por uma equipe de teólogos, bem como por todos os bispos que residem em cada campus satélite. NÃO é necessário ser católico para se inscrever na escola. ## ***APRENDER A CORRER RISCOS*** ***Dar um passo com fé*** Se você nunca rezou para ser curado, se tem dificuldade em ouvir a voz de Deus, se tem medo de partilhar o Evangelho com aqueles que encontra, ou se está tentando compreender o ensino da Igreja sobre os dons espirituais – nós compreendemos, e os seus colegas também. A Escola de Ministério Encounter é um lugar seguro para começar a correr riscos na fé, ao mesmo tempo que oferece ferramentas e modelos fáceis e práticos que tornam simples a descoberta e a prática dos seus dons. padre Mathias Thelen *Co-fundador e Presidente* O Padre Mathias foi ordenado em 2010 e serve como pároco da Igreja de São Patrício em Brighton, MI.

As duas aulas poderão ser assistidas com flexibilidade de acordo com seu horário, mas completando-as antes de cada aula semanal ao vivo no zoom. Todas as aulas são lecionadas por nossos instrutores do Campus Principal e instrutores convidados. O campus online segue a mesma grade curricular que todos os outros campos da ESM. ###### Painel de controle dos alunos Todos os alunos têm acesso a um painel de controle online que pode ser visualizado através do computador ou dispositivo móvel. O painel de controle contém todos os vídeos das aulas, recados, trabalhos de casa, atividades e o fórum dos alunos. Currículo ## AULAs NO *zoom* AO vivo Todas as semanas, o aluno participará de uma aula ao vivo através de uma plataforma de videoconferência gratuita chamada Zoom. A sua aula dinâmica no Zoom será conduzida pelo seu Facilitador Online e incluirá oração, perguntas e respostas, activações e terminará com um tempo em pequenos grupos em salas de partilha.

Os grupos são definidos no início do ano, assim, seus pequenos grupos irão ajudá-lo ao longo da sua jornada. Poderá praticar, orar, resolver problemas e desfrutar de avanços com esta comunidade dinâmica. ## ***Currículo*** ###### **VISÃO GERAL** ***Escritura, Tradição, Padres da Igreja, Doutrina Católica.*** Antes de ser aprovado, nosso currículo passou por uma rigorosa revisão acadêmica por uma equipe de respeitados teólogos católicos. Durante o ano acadêmico de 2020-2021, a Encounter Ministries se envolveu em uma avaliação completa de conteúdo com essa equipe para validar o currículo da escola. Cada teólogo teve acesso total ao conteúdo ensinado na Encounter Ministries para os termos que escolheram. Seu trabalho não apenas garantiu que o currículo estivesse livre de erros morais e doutrinários e profundamente enraizado nas Escrituras, no ensino oficial da Igreja e no testemunho dos primeiros Padres da Igreja, mas também ajudou a trazer maior precisão e clareza ao currículo para reduzir o potencial de confusão e garantir total continuidade com o ensino da Igreja. bispos e teólogos ###### Ano 1 Trimestre 1: Identidade e Transformação *Leitura suplementar: [Supernatural Saints](https://www.amazon.com/Supernatural-Saints-School-Ministry/dp/B0BJ4RPFQW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13KG0BEMFNJ30&keywords=supernatural+saints+book+by+patrick+reis&qid=1688665970&sprefix=supernatural+saints%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-1) by Patrick Reis* ###### ***Descrição do curso:*** Construir uma base para todo o ministério da nossa identidade real como filhos e filhas de Deus que experimentam a transformação pela renovação da mente. Antes dos alunos receberem ensino e formação em áreas específicas do ministério, precisam saber quem são e de quem são. O primeiro trimestre tem o centro na identidade que recebemos como filhos e filhas de Deus que receberam uma herança para fazerem as obras de Jesus e obras ainda maiores (Jo 14,12). Ao longo do trimestre, os alunos trabalham para mudar de uma mentalidade baseada na performance, em que o seu valor e a sua identidade vêm do que fazem para Deus, para uma identidade em que o seu valor vem de quem são como filhos e filhas de Deus apenas. Os alunos aprendem sobre a natureza da transformação através da renovação da mente e procuram mudar o pensamento de uma perspectiva terrena para uma perspectiva celestial no que diz respeito ao ministério (Mateus 16,23). Em cada aula, os alunos compreendem e experimentam a sua identidade como templos do Espírito Santo, são convencidos da nova natureza que recebemos de Jesus através do Batismo, vivem no poder do Espírito Santo e respondem à autoridade que receberam para expandir o reino de Deus para uma vida de missão. Em cada aula, os alunos encontram novos domínios do amor de Deus e de como o Pai nos vê em Jesus. Trimestre 2: Ouvindo a voz de Deus & Os dons proféticos do Espírito Santo ###### ***Descrição do curso:*** Jesus ensinou-nos que Ele é o bom pastor e que nós somos as suas ovelhas e que ouvimos a sua voz (Jo 10,4). Na primeira parte deste trimestre, os alunos compreenderão que a sua capacidade de ouvir a voz de Deus vem de quem são em Deus e não do que fazem para Ele. Os alunos passarão algum tempo a aprender a “linguagem do Espírito Santo” que fala para nós e através de nós e o discernimento necessário para identificar a sua voz da nossa própria voz ou da voz do inimigo. Depois de crescerem em maior compreensão e confiança para ouvir a voz de Deus para a sua própria vida, os alunos aprenderão o que significa participar do ofício profético de Cristo (Lumen Gentium 12) e procurar e descobrir os dons proféticos do Espírito Santo para o ministério. Como as Escrituras ensinam que devemos “desejar ardentemente os dons espirituais, sobretudo o de profetizar” (1 Cor 14,1), os nossos alunos compreendem que os dons proféticos do Espírito Santo são simplesmente uma questão de ouvir a voz de Deus para o mundo que nos rodeia e que tem o efeito de edificar, encorajar e consolar os outros em Cristo (1 Cor 14,3). Neste trimestre, os alunos terão muitas oportunidades criativas para o ministério profético uns com os outros e oportunidades para um feedback honesto e um crescimento enraizado no amor. Trimestre 3: Poder & Cura *Leitura suplementar: Healing: Bringing the Gift of God’s Mercy to the World by Dr. Mary Healy* ###### ***Descrição do curso*** ***Antes de Jesus dar a Eucaristia ou mesmo o Espírito Santo para os seus discípulos, chamou-os a pregar o Evangelho e esperava que eles curassem os doentes (Mt 10,7-8; Lc*** 10,9). Jesus nunca proclamou o Evangelho sem demonstrar e confirmar a mensagem com demonstrações de poder – sendo a cura física o sinal mais frequente. Neste trimestre, os alunos aprendem uma teologia da cura que inclui o papel da cura na evangelização e a sabedoria de que o ministério da cura é feito a partir de um lugar de amor e compaixão pelos doentes. Aprenderão também um modelo básico de oração não-sacramental para o ministério de cura e terão muitas oportunidades, num ambiente seguro e humilde, de participar na oração de cura, tanto individualmente como em equipe. Os alunos também receberão sessões sobre a compreensão do papel da fé no ministério de cura, palavras de conhecimento para a cura, o poder da paz e como superar o desânimo que podemos experimentar quando a cura não ocorre. No geral, os alunos ganharão maior confiança para responder ao convite de Jesus de que “todos os que acreditam” podem ser usados por Deus para trazer a cura para o mundo ao seu redor (Mc 16,18). Trimestre 4: Cura interior & liberdade *Leitura Suplementar: Supplemental Reading: Be Healed by Dr. Bob Schuchts and Deliverance Ministry by International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services Doctrinal Commission* ###### ***Descrição do curso*** ***Equipar-se para participar no ministério de Jesus de “curar os corações quebrados e cuidar de suas feridas”.*** Deus revelou-se como o Senhor que “cura os quebrantados de coração e cuida as suas feridas” (Salmo 147:3). Neste trimestre, os alunos serão equipados para se envolverem no ministério da cura interior e da liberdade. Os alunos terão a oportunidade de crescer no coração de Deus e no desejo de ver os quebrantados curados e procurarão cultivar ferramentas e habilidades para fazer parceria com o Espírito Santo para trazer cura ao coração. Os alunos aprenderão a anatomia das feridas que experimentamos na vida e como fazer parceria com Jesus para trazer liberdade das mentiras, da falta de perdão e da desordem que resultam dessas feridas. Jesus também deseja que seus filhos sejam livres da influência de espíritos malignos. Este trimestre também ensina como conduzir as pessoas a uma maior liberdade da influência do inimigo e a caminhar na plena proteção de Deus (Salmo 91, Efésios 6). ###### ano 2 Trimestre 5: Intimidade com Deus ###### ***Descrição do curso*** Uma vez que os estudantes passaram a maior parte do seu tempo a crescer e a cultivar os seus dons e competências ministeriais, precisam de compreender a necessidade de cultivar uma vida de oração maior e mais madura e de se convencerem de que todo o ministério frutuoso decorre da intimidade com Deus. Em última análise, Jesus morreu por nós não apenas para que pudéssemos ir para o céu, mas para que pudéssemos ter o mesmo tipo de relação que Ele tinha com o Pai. Jesus foi o nosso modelo de intimidade e esta intimidade com o Pai flui através de Jesus no Espírito Santo. A partir da riqueza da nossa vasta tradição espiritual e do ensinamento dos doutores espirituais da Igreja, os alunos aprenderão a empenhar-se numa maior intimidade com Deus através das escrituras, da oração meditativa e da oração contemplativa. Mergulharão nas riquezas do Cântico dos Cânticos, aprenderão a adorar e a procurar o próprio coração de Deus através do testemunho de David. Os alunos terão a oportunidade de crescer na intercessão, aprender a prática do discernimento dos espíritos e cultivar um estilo de vida de praticar a presença de Deus através da permanência em Jesus. Trimestre 6: Formação ministerial avançada ###### ***Descrição do curso*** Receber dos líderes em cada área do ministério dos primeiros quatro trimestres e chegar a um novo nível de profundidade e efeito que não foi possível no primeiro ano. No sexto trimestre, entraremos em áreas mais avançadas do ministério que não pudemos abordar no primeiro ano. Neste trimestre, líderes experientes em cada uma das principais áreas do ministério apresentarão aos alunos abordagens avançadas de ministério para buscar maior fecundidade e fé. . Trimestre 7: Poder da Evangelização ###### ***Descrição do curso*** Receber o coração do Pai para os perdidos e ganhar a fé para pregar o Evangelho e associar-se ao Espírito Santo para demonstrar a realidade e a verdade do Evangelho com o poder de Deus que Ele nos deu. Até este ponto, todo o conteúdo que foi apresentado aos alunos pode acontecer dentro das quatro paredes da Igreja. Neste trimestre, os alunos aprenderão formas práticas de pregar e apresentar efetivamente o Evangelho àqueles que necessitam da Sua salvação e crescerão na fé para demonstrar a realidade do reino através dos dons do Espírito Santo. Os alunos aprenderão que a evangelização acompanhada de demonstrações do poder de Deus faz parte da nossa herança que remonta à Igreja primitiva (1 Cor 2:3-5). Os alunos aprenderão que a Igreja existe, em última análise, para evangelizar e serão expostos à rica tradição de ensino sobre evangelização que temos como católicos. Aprenderão como apresentar a mensagem básica do Evangelho e a resposta que é necessária ao Evangelho. Os alunos aprenderão o poder do testemunho para abrir alguém à fé em Jesus e como partilhar eficazmente o seu testemunho. Descobrirão as chaves para crescer na fé e na ousadia de evangelizar e formas práticas de incorporar os dons proféticos e a cura para a evangelização. Trimestre 8: Liderança e implantação *Leitura suplementar: Decreto sobre o Apostolado dos Leigos* ###### ***Descrição do curso*** Estar preparado para ser lançado de volta à sua esfera de influência para ver os sonhos do Reino se tornarem realidade, equipando os alunos para se tornarem líderes. Cada membro da Igreja recebeu um chamado de Deus para participar na Grande Comissão. Para isso, Deus colocou vários sonhos e visões nos corações dos fieis para verem o reino de Deus manifestar-se no mundo. Neste trimestre, equipamos os nossos alunos primeiro com a fé de que Deus quer usá-los e ver os seus sonhos do reino realizados. Ele está à procura de grandes santos que queiram fazer grandes coisas no mundo por ele. Partindo dessa realidade, equipamos os nossos alunos com ferramentas e competências práticas para a capacidade de integrar o que aprenderam nas paróquias e comunidades existentes, bem como a sabedoria e o conhecimento necessário para se lançar na construção e crescimento de apostolados ou ministérios. Os alunos também aprenderão e serão inspirados pelos atuais líderes da Nova Evangelização que vieram antes deles, para os impulsionar a sair da escola para construir o Reino de Deus nas suas esferas de influência. ## Instrutores ###### Facilitadores Os Facilitadores lideram todas as aulas Zoom e são atribuídos por horário, sendo assim os alunos terão o mesmo facilitador para a maioria das suas sessões Zoom. Os facilitadores são antigos alunos da ESM que foram certificados para dirigir as aulas Zoom no Campus Online.

Recomendamos a los estudiantes que se comuniquen con patrocinadores privados (familiares, amigos, parroquia) para buscar ayuda financiera. Si alguien va a pagar la matrícula de un estudiante, aunque sea parcialmente, la factura de la matrícula se puede reenviar al patrocinador (enviada por correo electrónico) y él/ella podrá realizar un pago en nombre del estudiante. Extensiones al pago de la matrícula Entendemos que las circunstancias de la vida pueden cambiar inesperadamente para nuestros estudiantes, lo que puede resultar en la incapacidad de pagar los costos de matrícula. Si esto ocurre y tiene que darse de baja temporalmente del programa, sin duda podemos ayudarlo a reactivar su cuenta cuando pueda regresar. # **Navegación de *Zoom*** Video: Cómo iniciar sesión con tu cuenta de Zoom Video: Cómo enviar un mensaje vía el chat de Zoom Video: Cómo unirse a la sesión en directo vía Zoom Video: Cómo usar las reacciones y subir/bajar la mano Video: Cómo cambiar tu nombre en Zoom Video: Cómo entrar a las salas pequeñas en Zoom Video: Cómo silenciar y reactivar tu audio Video: Cómo pedir ayuda estando en la sala pequeña en Zoom **ENVIAR UN TICKET DE SOPORTE** Llena el siguiente formulario y un miembro del equipo de soporte de ESM te responderá lo antes posible. **Nota importante sobre transferencias, cancelaciones y reactivaciones** Si necesitas canbiar de sesión en directo vía Zoom, darte de baja de la escuela o reactivar tu matrícula, utiliza los enlaces a continuación para enviar el formulario correspondiente en lugar de enviar un ticket de soporte.

Students are also allowed to transfer into an in-person campus if their living situation changes and they are now within driving distance to an in-person campus. To request a transfer, whether it is into a different zoom session or into a different campus, all a student needs to do is fill out the**[ transfer request form](https://encounterschool.org/esm-student-transfer-request-form/)** linked below. You will hear a response back from our team within 2-3 business days. [](https://encounterschool.org/esm-student-transfer-request-form/) **Please note:** during times of high volumes of requests (ie. beginning of the school year) our response time may be delayed. Student Transfer Form Withdrawing from ESMO (Student Drop Request) We understand that a student’s life circumstances can change, and that may result in needing to withdraw from the Encounter School of Ministry. If that happens, a student must complete a **[Student Drop Request](https://encounterschool.org/esm-student-drop-request/)** in order to be deactivated from our system and to stop receving tuition invoice reminders. Our team hopes any student who is needing to withdraw will be able to return in the future. To start ESM back-up, please submit an Student Reactivation Request Form. \*For more information about this process, please visit the section titled, *Restarting ESMO After Withdrawing (Reactivation Request)*. Student Drop Form Restarting ESMO After Dropping (Reactivation Request) If a student has had to withdraw from ESM, but would like to start back-up, they will not have to restart the program. Returning students are able to submit a reactivation request, and start at the beginning of the quarter they left off on during the school year. Returning students do **NOT** need to submit a new application, they should only submit a **[reactivation request](https://encounterschool.org/esm-student-account-reactivation-request/)**. Student Reactivation Request # **Tuition** Accessing & Paying a Tuition Invoice Students can be sent their tuition invoices in two different ways, either through an emailed copy of their invoice or the Zoho Tuition Portal. **Emailed Copy:** Invoices will be sent to the email that is on file for each student at the time the invoice is created, as well as 15 days prior to the tuition due date. Students who have not received a copy of the invoice should check their spam folder. **Zoho Tuition Portal**: At the time of admittance into the Encounter School of Ministry, students are sent an invitation to set-up an account for the Zoho Tuition Portal. While not required, this is the best way for students to manage their tution payments and invoices. **Still having trouble paying?** We can provide the link in the chat window or by email. Or, we can take your payment over the phone. Please contact Monica at 614-349-8799. Please be sure to leave the spelling of your last name if you leave a voice message, as well as the number you can best be reached, and the best times to reach you. Switching to Annual Tuition / Quarterly Tuition Policy Any student who would like to change their tuition from the annual option to the quarterly option (or vice versa) must make the change no later than the end of the 1st quarter. 2025 – 2026 Tuition Due Dates **Quarter 1:** Wedensday, September 10th **Quarter 2:** Wednesday, November 19th **Quarter 3:** Wednesday, January 28th **Quarter 4:** Wednesday, April 8th Logging into the Tuition Portal / Resetting Your Password The username and password for the Zoho Tuition Portal is not attached to the student dashboard. They are two separate systems. If a student needs to reset their Zoho Tuition Portal, it will need to be reset through the Zoho log-in page: [![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1-1-300x94-1.png "- Encounter School of Ministry")](https://invoice.zoho.com/portal/encounterschool/login) Logging into the Tuition Portal / Resetting Your Password **Tuition Refund Policy** In the event that a student pays the annual tuition option and withdraws from school for whatever reason, they may receive a prorated refund figured by calculating the remaining classes of the school minus a withdrawal fee ($50). They must request a the refund request form through Student Support in order to submit an official request. Unless it is requested, no refund is automatically processed. There is no refund available if a student has chosen the quarterly payment option. Scholarships / Financial Aid for the Online Campus Unfortunately at this time we don’t have any financial aid available for the online campus. We highly encourage students to reach out to private supporters (family, friends, parish) to seek out financial aid. If someone is going to pay a student’s tuition, even partially, the tution invoice can be forwarded to the sponsor (sent via email) and they will be able to make a payment on your behalf. Tuition Extensions We understand that life circumstances can arise unexpectedly for our students which may result in the inability to pay tuition costs. If this occurs, and you temporarily have to withdraw from the program, we can certainly help get your account reactivated when you are able to return. Reactivation Fee Due to increasing administrative cost and our desire to honor student requests as quickly as possible, those who do not respond to tuition invoices within the allotted time will be issued a reactivation fee in addition to the outstanding balance. # ***Zoom* Navigation** Video Tutorial: How to Log Into Your Zoom Session Video Tutorial: How to Rename Yourself on Zoom Video Tutorial: How to Join / Leave a Breakout Room Video Tutorial: Why Am I Getting an Error Message When Trying to Join my Zoom Session? ## SUBMIT A SUPPORT TICKET Fill out the form below and a member of the ESM Support Team will respond as soon as possible. **Important Note about Transfers, Drops, and Reactivcations** If you need to transfer zoom sessions, drop from the school, or reactivate your account, please use the links below to submit the proper form rather than sending in a support ticket.

It was awesome to see how the Lord was teaching, healing, coming just where we were, whether on campus or online, whether in the US or abroad, whether in our living rooms, offices, kitchens or patios. My living room became a holy space. His Presence was palpable!”* participant *“I was very impressed by the depth and solidity of the teaching. The theology was beautiful. I grew up in the charismatic renewal and at the time I was a child, the theology was not as well developed and articulated as I found it articulated during the Summer Intensive. There’s a whole science and theology and method to it. Excellent.* All of this is so totally new to me (words of knowledge , prophecy, etc.) and yet I was affirmed in what the Father had already begun in me… my outreach to people, desperate for them also to experience His purpose and real freedom NOW in this life.. I also saw and heard miraculous things. I experienced “How could they possibly know that but for grace of the Holy Spirit?” moments. There were even times that I got out of God’s way and delivered a word to someone that surprised me just how specific it was. And I experienced something that shook my world. --- ### [Satellite | Santiago (redirect to subdomain)](https://es.encounterschool.org/santiago/) **Published:** March 3, 2026 **Author:** jess@encounterministries.us --- ### [Priest Network Survey](https://encounterschool.org/priest-network-survey/) **Published:** February 26, 2026 **Author:** rachel@encounterministries.us **Content:** ## **Priest Network development Survey** Priest Network Survey### Basic Information First Name Last Name Email Diocese \* State/Region \* Country \* How are you currently involved with Encounter Ministries / Encounter School of Ministry?

As challenges and spiritual struggles arise, PMT offers opportunities to connect with trained individuals to help students reconnect with the Lord. PMT sessions can be scheduled through the student dashboard after your first quarter as an ESM student. # **Student Status** Transferring to a Different Campus [![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/red-playh.png "- Encounter School of Ministry") **Video Tutorial**](https://www.loom.com/share/e921651c384a4dcda13a6dfecaea28c4?sid=0ec65319-7090-471c-a71f-d6e4c6443c77) In the event that a student has a change of life circumstances and can no longer attend ESM at their current Campus, they are allowed to request a transfer to a different campus. To request a transfer, whether it is into a different campus, including the online campus, all a student needs to do is fill out the**[ transfer request form](https://encounterschool.org/esm-student-transfer-request-form/)** linked below. You will hear a response back from our team within 2-3 business days. [](https://encounterschool.org/esm-student-transfer-request-form/) **Please note:** during times of high volumes of requests (ie. beginning of the school year) our response time may be delayed. Student Transfer Form Withdrawing from ESM (Student Drop Request) We understand that a student’s life circumstances can change, and that may result in needing to withdraw from the Encounter School of Ministry. If that happens, a student must complete a **[Student Drop Request](https://encounterschool.org/esm-student-drop-request-form-updated-1124/)** in order to be deactivated from our system and to stop receving tuition invoice reminders. Our team hopes any student who is needing to withdraw will be able to return in the future. To start ESM back-up, please submit an Student Reactivation Request Form. \*For more information about this process, please visit the section titled, *Restarting ESMO After Withdrawing (Reactivation Request)*. Student Drop Form Restarting ESM After Dropping (Reactivation Request) If a student has had to withdraw from ESM, but would like to start back-up, they will not have to restart the program. Returning students are able to submit a reactivation request, and start at the beginning of the quarter they left off on during the school year. Returning students do **NOT** need to submit a new application, they should only submit a **[reactivation request](https://encounterschool.org/esm-student-account-reactivation-request/)**. Student Reactivation Request # **Tuition** Accessing & Paying a Tuition Invoice Students can be sent their tuition invoices in two different ways, either through an emailed copy of their invoice Zoho Tuition Portal. **Emailed Copy:** Invoices will be sent to the email that is on file for each student at the time the invoice is created, as well as 15 days prior to the tuition due date. Students who have not received a copy of the invoice should check their spam folder. **Zoho Tuition Portal**: At the time of admittance into the Encounter School of Ministry, students are sent an invitation to set-up an account for the Zoho Tuition Portal. While not required, this is the best way for students to manage their tution payments and invoices. **Still having trouble paying?** We can provide the link in the chat window or by email. Or, we can take your payment over the phone. Please contact Monica at 614-349-8799. Please be sure to leave the spelling of your last name if you leave a voice message, as well as the number you can best be reached, and the best times to reach you. Switching to Annual Tuition / Quarterly Tuition Policy Any student who would like to change their tuition from the annual option to the quarterly option (or vice versa) must make the change no later than the end of the 1st quarter. 2024 – 2025 Tuition Due Dates **Quarter 1:** Wedensday, September 11th **Quarter 2:** Wednesday, November 20th **Quarter 3:** Wednesday, January 29th **Quarter 4:** Wednesday, April 9th Logging into the Tuition Portal / Resetting Your Password The username and password for the Zoho Tuition Portal is not attached to the student dashboard. They are two separate systems. If a student needs to reset their Zoho Tuition Portal, it will need to be reset through the Zoho log-in page: [![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1-1-300x94-1.png "- Encounter School of Ministry")](https://invoice.zoho.com/portal/encounterschool/login) Logging into the Tuition Portal / Resetting Your Password **Tuition Refund Policy** In the event that a student pays the annual tuition option and withdraws from school for whatever reason, they may receive a prorated refund figured by calculating the remaining classes of the school minus a withdrawal fee ($50). They must request a the refund request form through Student Support in order to submit an official request. Unless it is requested, no refund is automatically processed. There is no refund available if a student has chosen the quarterly payment option. Scholarships / Financial Aid for the Online Campus Unfortunately at this time we don’t have any financial aid available for the online campus. We highly encourage students to reach out to private supporters (family, friends, parish) to seek out financial aid. If someone is going to pay a student’s tuition, even partially, the tution invoice can be forwarded to the sponsor (sent via email) and they will be able to make a payment on your behalf. Tuition Extensions We understand that life circumstances can arise unexpectedly for our students which may result in the inability to pay tuition costs. If this occurs, and you temporarily have to withdraw from the program, we can certainly help get your account reactivated when you are able to return. Reactivation Fee Due to increasing administrative cost and our desire to honor student requests as quickly as possible, those who do not respond to tuition invoices within the allotted time will be issued a $25 reactivation fee in addition to the outstanding balance. # ***Zoom* Navigation** Video Tutorial: How to Log Into Your Zoom Session Video Tutorial: How to Rename Yourself on Zoom Video Tutorial: How to Join / Leave a Breakout Room Video Tutorial: Why Am I Getting an Error Message When Trying to Join my Zoom Session? ## SUBMIT A SUPPORT TICKET Fill out the form below and a member of the ESM Support Team will respond as soon as possible. **Important Note about Transfers, Drops, and Reactivcations** If you need to transfer zoom sessions, drop from the school, or reactivate your account, please use the links below to submit the proper form rather than sending in a support ticket.

Nuestros estudiantes son retados a crecer en la identidad dada por Dios a través de un alto nivel de interacción de los estudiantes en las activaciones, la oración y la adoración. Vemos prosperar estilos de vida empoderados mientras celebramos la bondad de Dios en cada paso del crecimiento de los estudiantes. ### ACTIVAR Los dones del Espíritu Santo son parte de nuestra herencia en Cristo que, entre otras cosas, están destinados a equiparnos para la misión.

Vom Bischof genehmigt.** Bischöfliche Genehmigungen ###### Übersicht ***Zuverlässige Lehre.*** Vor der Genehmigung wurde unser Lehrplan einer strengen akademischen Prüfung durch ein Team angesehener katholischer Theologen unterzogen, darunter Dr. Mary Healy, Dr. Alan Schreck, Dr. Daniel Keating, Rev. Peter F. Ryan, S.J. und Dr. Robert Fastiggi. Sie haben sich nicht nur dafür eingesetzt, dass der Lehrplan frei von moralischen und lehrmäßigen Irrtümern und tief in der Heiligen Schrift, der offiziellen Lehre der Kirche und dem Zeugnis der frühen Kirchenväter verwurzelt ist, sondern sie haben auch dazu beigetragen, den Lehrplan präziser und genauer zu gestalten, um mögliche Verwirrung zu verringern und die volle Kontinuität mit der Lehre der Kirche zu gewährleisten. Dieser Campus wurde vom Bischof der Diözese geprüft und genehmigt. ###### Jahr 1 Quartal 1: Identität und Transformation *Ergänzende Lektüre: Geisterfüllte Heilige von Patrick Reis* ###### ***Kursbeschreibung*** ***Die Grundlage für jeden Dienst ist Ihre königliche Identität als Söhne und Töchter Gottes, die durch die Erneuerung des Geistes eine Verwandlung erfahren.*** Bevor Studenten in bestimmten Bereichen des Dienstes unterrichtet und ausgebildet werden, müssen sie wissen, wer sie sind und wem sie gehören. Das erste Quartal konzentriert sich auf die königliche Identität, die wir als Söhne und Töchter Gottes erhalten, die ein Erbe erhalten haben, um die Werke Jesu und noch größere Werke zu tun (Joh 14,12). Während des gesamten Quartals arbeiten die Studenten daran, von einer leistungsorientierten Mentalität, bei der ihr Wert und ihre Identität von dem abhängen, was sie für Gott tun, zu einer Identität überzugehen, bei der ihr Wert von dem kommt, was sie als Söhne und Töchter Gottes allein sind. Die Studenten lernen das Wesen der Verwandlung durch die Erneuerung des Geistes kennen und versuchen, in Bezug auf ihren Dienst von einer irdischen zu einer himmlischen Perspektive überzugehen (Mt 16,23). In jedem Kurs lernen die Studenten, ihre Identität als Tempel des Heiligen Geistes zu verstehen, von der neuen Natur überzeugt zu werden, die wir von Jesus in der Taufe erhalten haben, in der Kraft des Heiligen Geistes zu leben und auf die Vollmacht zu antworten, die wir erhalten haben, um das Reich Gottes für ein Leben in der Mission zu erweitern. In jedem Kurs lernen die Teilnehmer neue Bereiche der Liebe Gottes kennen und erfahren, wie der Vater uns in Jesus sieht. Quartal 2: Gottes Stimme hören und die prophetischen Gaben des Heiligen Geistes *Ergänzende Lektüre: Das Handbuch der geistlichen Gaben von Dr. Mary Healy und Dr. Randy Clark* ###### ***Kursbeschreibung*** Jesus lehrte uns, dass er der gute Hirte ist und wir seine Schafe und dass wir seine Stimme hören (Joh 10,4). Im ersten Teil dieses Quartals werden die Studenten lernen, dass ihre Fähigkeit, Gottes Stimme zu hören, von dem kommt, wer sie in Gott sind und nicht von dem, was sie für ihn tun. Die Studenten werden Zeit damit verbringen, die „Sprache des Heiligen Geistes“ zu lernen, der durch uns zu uns spricht, und die Unterscheidungskraft, die nötig ist, um seine Stimme von unserer eigenen oder der des Feindes zu unterscheiden. Nachdem sie in ihrem Verständnis und ihrer Zuversicht gewachsen sind, Gottes Stimme für ihr eigenes Leben zu hören, werden die Studenten lernen, was es bedeutet, am Prophetenamt Christi teilzuhaben (Lumen Gentium 12) und die prophetischen Gaben des Heiligen Geistes für den Dienst zu entdecken und zu nutzen. Da die Heilige Schrift lehrt, dass wir „ernsthaft die Geistesgaben erstreben sollen, vor allem, die prophetische Rede“ (1 Kor 14,1), lernen unsere Studenten zu verstehen, dass es bei den prophetischen Gaben des Heiligen Geistes einfach darum geht, Gottes Stimme für die Welt um uns herum zu hören, die den Effekt hat, dass sie andere in Christus aufbaut, ermutigt und tröstet (1 Kor 14,3). In diesem Quartal werden die Studenten viele kreative Gelegenheiten für den prophetischen Dienst untereinander haben sowie Gelegenheiten für ehrliches Feedback und Wachstum, das in der Liebe verwurzelt ist. Quartal 3: Kraft und Heilung *Ergänzende Lektüre: Heilung: Der Welt die Gabe der Barmherzigkeit Gottes bringen von Dr. Mary Healy* ###### ***Beschreibung des Kurses*** Bevor Jesus seinen Jüngern die Eucharistie gab oder den Heiligen Geist verlieh, rief er seine Jünger auf, das Evangelium zu verkünden und erwartete von ihnen, dass sie die Kranken heilten (Mt 10,7-8; Lk 10,9). Jesus verkündete das Evangelium nie, ohne die Botschaft durch begleitende Zeichen der Vollmacht zu demonstrieren und zu bestätigen – wobei die körperliche Heilung das häufigste Zeichen war. In diesem Vierteljahr lernen die Studenten eine Heilungstheologie kennen, die die Rolle der Heilung bei der Evangelisierung und die Weisheit einschließt, dass der Heilungsdienst aus einem Gefühl der Liebe und des Mitgefühls für die Kranken heraus geschieht. Sie lernen auch ein grundlegendes nicht-sakramentales Gebetsmodell für den Heilungsdienst kennen und erhalten viele Gelegenheiten, in einer sicheren und einfachen Umgebung am Heilungsgebet teilzunehmen, sowohl als Einzelpersonen als auch in Teamsituationen. Die Teilnehmer werden auch über die Rolle des Glaubens im Heilungsdienst, Worte der Erkenntnis für die Heilung, die Kraft des Friedens und die Überwindung der Entmutigung, die wir erleben können, wenn keine Heilung eintritt, unterrichtet. Insgesamt werden die Studenten mehr Selbstvertrauen gewinnen, um der Einladung Jesu zu folgen, dass „alle, die glauben“, von Gott gebraucht werden können, um der Welt um sie herum Heilung zu bringen (Mk 16,18). Quartal 4: Innere Heilung und Freiheit *Ergänzende Lektüre: Sei geheilt von Dr. Bob Schuchts und Befreiungsdienst von International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services Doctrinal Commission* ###### ***Beschreibung des Kurses*** ***Wir werden ausgerüstet, um am Dienst Jesu teilzunehmen, der „die Menschen mit gebrochenem Herzen heilt und ihre Wunden verbindet“.*** Gott hat sich als der Herr geoffenbart, der „die mit gebrochenem Herzen heilt und ihre Wunden verbindet“ (Ps 147,3). In diesem Quartal werden die Studenten dazu befähigt, den Dienst der inneren Heilung und Freiheit zu übernehmen. Die Studenten werden die Gelegenheit haben, in Gottes Herz und Wunsch zu wachsen, dass die Zerbrochenen heil werden, und sie werden versuchen, Werkzeuge und Fähigkeiten zu kultivieren, um mit dem Heiligen Geist zusammenzuarbeiten, um Heilung in das Herz zu bringen. Die Teilnehmer lernen die Anatomie der Wunden kennen, die wir im Leben erfahren, und erfahren, wie sie mit Jesus zusammenarbeiten können, um sich von Lügen, Unversöhnlichkeit und Unordnung zu befreien, die aus diesen Wunden resultieren. Jesus möchte auch, dass seine Kinder frei vom Einfluss böser Geister sind. In diesem Vierteljahr wird auch gelehrt, wie man Menschen zu größerer Freiheit vom Einfluss des Feindes führt und sie in den vollen Schutz Gottes stellt (Ps 91, Eph 6). ###### Jahr 2 Quartal 5: Intimität mit Gott *Ergänzende Lektüre: Persönliches Gebet: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love, von P. Thomas Acklin und P. Boniface Hicks* ###### ***Beschreibung des Kurses*** Da die Teilnehmer einen Großteil ihrer Zeit damit verbracht haben, ihre Gaben und Fähigkeiten für den Dienst zu entwickeln und zu kultivieren, müssen sie die Notwendigkeit verstehen, ein größeres und reiferes Gebetsleben zu pflegen und davon überzeugt werden, dass jeder fruchtbare Dienst aus der Vertrautheit mit Gott erwächst. Jesus ist schließlich nicht nur für uns gestorben, damit wir in den Himmel kommen, sondern damit wir die gleiche Art von Beziehung haben können, die er mit dem Vater hatte. Jesus hat uns vorgelebt, wie Intimität aussieht, und diese Intimität mit dem Vater fließt durch Jesus im Heiligen Geist. Aus dem Reichtum unserer großen spirituellen Tradition und den Schriften der Kirchenlehrer werden die Studenten lernen, wie sie durch die Heilige Schrift, das meditative und kontemplative Gebet eine engere Beziehung zu Gott aufbauen können. Sie werden in den Reichtum des Hohelieds eintauchen, lernen, wie man anbetet und durch das Zeugnis Davids nach Gottes Herzen sucht. Die Teilnehmer werden Gelegenheit haben, in der Fürbitte zu wachsen, die Unterscheidung der Geister zu verbessern und einen Lebensstil zu kultivieren, der die Gegenwart Gottes durch das Verweilen in Jesus praktiziert. Quartal 6: Fortgeschrittene Schulung für den Dienst *Ergänzende Lektüre: Herr, erneuere deine Wunder, von Damian Stayne* ###### ***Beschreibung des Kurses*** ***Wir werden von den Leitern in jedem Bereich des Dienstes aus den ersten vier Quartalen empfangen und zu einer neuen Tiefe und Wirkung kommen, die im ersten Jahr nicht möglich war.*** Im sechsten Quartal werden wir in fortgeschrittenere Bereiche des Dienstes einsteigen, die wir im ersten Jahr nicht behandeln konnten. In diesem Quartal werden erfahrene Leiter in jedem Hauptbereich des Dienstes den Studenten fortgeschrittene Ansätze für den Dienst vorstellen, um größere Fruchtbarkeit und Glauben zu erreichen. Quartal 7: Power-Evangelisierung *Ergänzende Lektüre: Tu, was Jesus tat, von Robby Dawkins & A New Pentecost for The New Evangelization, von Dr. Ralph Martin* ###### ***Beschreibung des Kurses*** ***Das Herz des Vaters für die Verlorenen empfangen und den Glauben gewinnen, das Evangelium predigen und mit dem Heiligen Geist zusammenarbeiten, um die Realität und Wahrheit des Evangeliums mit der Kraft Gottes, die er uns gegeben hat, zu demonstrieren.*** Bis zu diesem Punkt können alle Inhalte, die den Studenten vermittelt wurden, innerhalb der vier Wände der Kirche stattfinden. In diesem Vierteljahr lernen die Studenten praktische Wege kennen, um das Evangelium effektiv zu predigen und denjenigen zu präsentieren, die seiner Erlösung bedürfen, und im Glauben zu wachsen und um die Realität des Reiches Gottes durch die Gaben des Heiligen Geistes zu demonstrieren. Die Studenten werden lernen, dass Evangelisation, begleitet von Demonstrationen der Kraft Gottes, Teil unseres Erbes ist, das auf die frühe Kirche zurückgeht (1 Kor 2,3-5). Die Studenten werden lernen, dass die Kirche letztlich existiert, um zu evangelisieren, und sie werden mit der reichen Tradition der Lehre über die Evangelisierung vertraut gemacht, die wir als Katholiken haben. Sie werden lernen, wie sie die grundlegende Botschaft des Evangeliums und die notwendige Antwort auf das Evangelium vermitteln können. Die Teilnehmer lernen die Macht des Zeugnisses kennen, um jemanden für den Glauben an Jesus zu gewinnen, und wie sie ihr Zeugnis wirksam weitergeben können. Sie werden die Schlüssel für das Wachsen im Glauben und den Mut zur Evangelisierung entdecken und praktische Wege finden, um die prophetischen Gaben und die Heilung für die Evangelisierung zu nutzen. Quartal 8: Führung und Umsetzung Ergänzende Lektüre: Dekret über das Apostolat der Laien ###### ***Beschreibung des Kurses*** ***Sich darauf vorbereiten, wieder in den eigenen Einflussbereich zu gehen, um die Träume des Reiches Gottes Wirklichkeit werden zu lassen, indem man Studenten zu Führungskräften ausrüstet.*** Jedes Mitglied der Kirche hat von Gott den Ruf erhalten, sich am Missionsbefehl zu beteiligen. Zu diesem Zweck hat Gott verschiedene Träume und Visionen auf die Herzen der Gläubigen gelegt, um das Reich Gottes in der Welt manifest werden zu lassen. In diesem Quartal rüsten wir unsere Studenten zunächst mit dem Glauben aus, dass Gott sie gebrauchen und ihre Reich-Gottes-Träume wahr werden lassen will. Er ist auf der Suche nach großen Heiligen, die für ihn große Dinge in der Welt tun wollen. Ausgehend von dieser Realität werden wir unsere Studenten mit praktischen Werkzeugen und Fähigkeiten ausstatten, damit sie das Gelernte sowohl in bestehende Gemeinden und Gemeinschaften integrieren als auch die Weisheit und das Wissen erlangen können, das für den Aufbau und das Wachstum neuer und bestehender Apostolate oder Dienste erforderlich ist. Die Studenten werden auch lernen und sich inspirieren lassen von gegenwärtigen Leitern der Neuevangelisierung, die vor ihnen gekommen sind, um sie dazu zu bringen, von der Schule aus das Reich Gottes in ihrem Einflussbereich aufzubauen. ## Live *zoom-*Unterricht Jede Woche nehmen Sie über eine kostenlose Videokonferenzplattform namens Zoom an Ihrem Live-Kurs teil.

Click on the tabs below for information on the registration process and navigating the student dashboards. | NOTE: our DC campus can support you in limited ways. For most support issues (tuition, payment, passwords, etc.) are supported by the Encounter School headquarters. | |---| Student Dashboards ## Student Dashboards Each student will gain access to a student dashboard. You can access it from the DC Campus website (the login button at the top right of the page) or directly from [**https://learn.encounterschool.org/users/sign\_in/**](https://learn.encounterschool.org/users/sign_in). From the dashboard, you can find the schedule for your course, access to your tuition portal, links to the Student Support Center, and you will find resources from each class (student handouts and videos of the talks) which is very helpful, especially if you missed the class. Videos will be posted between 1-2 days after the class. Below is a short tutorial of the dashboard to help you know what’s available and how to navigate it. Application & Tuition Info ## Application & Tuition Info **For those registering for Year One:** If you have guests or friends who would like to register for the School, please let them know that the application deadline is **Monday, October 1** (this date may change from year to year, check with the team at the start of each year for the application deadline). After that, no applications will be accepted. Once the application period closes, the registration for the year will be finalized and lanyards will be printed and mailed to us. **Tuition payment** – once an application is received, it needs to be accepted by Brighton. This could take up to three weeks. If you applied and have not yet heard back from Brighton, please check your spam folder. It will likely come from <support@encounterschool.org> or <support@encounterministries.us>. If you can, please “whitelist” the domains “encounterschool.org” and “encounterministries.us” to avoid emails from the school being treated as spam. Once the acceptance letter arrives, students have 15 days to pay the invoice. All of the payment information is included in the letter. Students can pay quarterly or get a discount for paying in full. Tuition payments are due on the first day of the Quarter. Obviously, if you are still awaiting your acceptance letter, this date does not apply. For students who have already been accepted and have not yet paid, Brighton sends out payment reminders – *please do not ignore these notices*. At some point, if payment is not received, they will drop students from the roster. So, if you are having problems in this area, *please let us know so that we can assist you.* In the event that a student is dropped and cannot access the student dashboard, they will be able to fill out a [**Student Reactivation Request Form**](https://encounterschool.org/esm-student-account-reactivation-request/). This form can also be found on the [**Student Support Center**](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/admin-student-support-esm/). Once their invoice is paid, they will be given access to their dashboard once again. All tuition must be paid online via credit or debit card. Cash or checks are not accepted. Application Video Tutorial (Year 1) # Application Video Tutorial (Year 1) Below is a “walk-through” to help those applying for Year 1 of the Encounter School of Ministry. Note, the web pages may look slightly different as they’ve been updated, but the url and the process are the same. To apply for Year 1, please go to: <https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/apply/> Login Problems? ## Trouble Logging In? We do not have access to student’s passwords, so we cannot reset it for you. Any issues you have with logging in to the student dashboard needs to be resolved by Encounter Ministries. Please open a ticket at their [**Student Support Portal**](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/student-support/). ### Suggestions There are some things you should do before contacting Encounter Ministries about this problem. 1. If you haven’t received your welcome email with your login credentials from Encounter Ministries, please check your spam/junk folder. It may take a few weeks for them to send it, but it’s possible it’s sitting in your spam folder. Please whitelist encounterministries.us if you can whitelist a domain to prevent emails from Encounter Ministries from ending up in your spam folder. 2. If you have your login credentials but the dashboard won’t accept them: - Consider whether you’ve changed your password. It’s a good practice to write down your latest password to help you remember it, especially in our age where we end out with passwords for many different accounts. - Are you typing your username correctly? - Consider whether some of the characters are uppercase and if that is how you are entering them. - Browsers can save your password, depending on your settings. If your browser shows dots in the password field, it is likely that it has saved your password. In this case, you don’t have to enter it again (which can lead to typos since you cannot see what you’re typing). Just accept what it put there (even though it appears as dots). If you are able to login using the password saved in the browser, and you don’t recall what the password is, you can likely find that out in your browser’s preferences under a setting like “Privacy & Security.” - However, it’s always possible that the password a browser saved is an older password if you recently changed it. This is the likely case if you are not able to login. 3. If you cannot recall your new password, you can try to reset it. Note – if it sends you an email, make sure you check your spam folder for that email. 4. If all else fails, you’ll need to open up a ticket at the [**Student Support Portal**](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/student-support/). ## Contact Us Please contact Don James with any technical issues you are facing with the DC Encounter Campus website using the contact form below. If you have issues with registration or tuition, please contact Encounter Ministries at their [**Student Support Portal**](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/student-support/). Since we do not have access to login credentials, password issues also need to be resolved by Encounter Ministries. If you’ve had a problem that was resolved by Encounter Ministries, please let us know so that we can be aware of any problems students are having and what was done to fix it. Thank you!

Designed and established from the heart of Encounter Ministries, this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. campuses ## long-term discipleship ###### **building trust** ***“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father.” – John 14:12*** It is our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. Jesus spent three years with His disciples, teaching, training and walking with them. Changing your mindset and lifestyle takes time, and you’re not meant to do it alone. The Encounter School of Ministry offers long-term discipleship and practical tools so you can make the supernatural life of the Holy Spirit a natural part of your everyday life, just as Jesus intended. courses ## authentically catholic ###### **Traditional & Charismatic** We believe the cultural division experienced in the Church between the “traditional” and “charismatic” is never what God intended. However, we can acknowledge there has been great misunderstanding and overall lack of formation regarding the use and purpose of the Spiritual gifts in the Church. We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. We are convinced the Lord ***always intended*** for his baptized children to demonstrate the Kingdom of God through ***signs and wonders***, just as He did – and we need these gifts now more than ever. Our curriculum has been reviewed by a team of theologians, as well as every bishop presiding over each satellite campus. ***You do NOT have to be Catholic to apply for the school.*** Bishop & theologian review “I never used to hear God’s voice (or trust it was God’s voice). Since starting the school I have had so many experiences of stepping out in faith, testing what I hear, and it being RIGHT! Then to see breakthrough happen! I now have confidence and excitement that God is speaking to me, and is with me when I share the Gospel and pray with people I meet.” – **ESM Student** ## learn to take risks ###### **step out in faith** If you have never prayed for healing, struggle to hear God’s voice, have fear of sharing the Gospel to those you meet, or are seeking to understand the Church’s teaching on the Spiritual gifts – we understand, and so do your classmates. The Encounter School of Ministry is a safe place to begin taking risks in faith, while offering easy, practical tools and models that make discovering and practicing your gifts simple. student testimonies padre Mathias Thelen *Co-fundador e Presidente* O Padre Mathias foi ordenado em 2010 e serve como pároco da Igreja de São Patrício em Brighton, MI.

Theologian Reviewed. Bishop Approved** Bishop approvals ## theological review ***Scripture, Tradition, Church Fathers, Catholic Doctrine*** Before approval, our [curriculum](https://encounterschool.org/curriculum) undergoes a rigorous academic curriculum review with a team of respected Catholic theologians. Throughout the 2020-2021 academic year, [Encounter Ministries](https://encounterministries.us/) engaged in a rigorous academic curriculum review with a team of respected Catholic theologians to vet the Encounter School curriculum. Each professor was given full access to the content taught at the Encounter School for their selected quarters. Not only did they work to guarantee that the curriculum is free from moral and doctrinal error and rooted deeply in Scripture, official Church teaching and the testimony of the early Church fathers, but they helped to provide greater precision and accuracy in the curriculum to diminish possible confusion and ensure full continuity with Church teaching. ###### **Year 1** Quarter 1: Identity & Transformation *Supplemental Reading: [Supernatural Saints ](https://www.amazon.com/Supernatural-Saints-School-Ministry/dp/B0BJ4RPFQW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13KG0BEMFNJ30&keywords=supernatural+saints+book+by+patrick+reis&qid=1688665970&sprefix=supernatural+saints%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-1)by Patrick Reis* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Building a foundation for all ministry on your royal identity as sons and daughters of God who experience transformation by the renewal of the mind.*** Before students receive teaching and training in particular areas of ministry, they need to know who they are and whose they are. The first quarter focuses on the royal identity we receive as sons and daughters of God who have received an inheritance to do the works of Jesus and even greater works (Jn 14:12). Throughout the quarter students work to shift from a performance based mentality where their value and identity comes from what they do for God and into an identity where their value comes from who they are as sons and daughters of God alone. Students learn about the nature of transformation by the renewal of the mind and seek to shift from thinking from an earthly perspective to a heavenly perspective in regard to ministry (Matt 16:23). In each class students come to understand and experience their identity as temples of the Holy Spirit, be convicted of the new nature we have received from Jesus through baptism, live in the power of the Holy Spirit and respond to the authority we have received to expand the kingdom of God for a life of mission. In each class, students encounter new realms of God’s love and how the Father sees us in Jesus. Quarter 2: Hearing God’s voice & the Prophetic Gifts of the Holy Spirit *Supplemental Reading: [The Spiritual Gifts Handbook](https://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Gifts-Handbook-Using-Kingdom/dp/0800798635/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2PF6PQU4LQYS7&keywords=spiritual+gifts+handbook&qid=1688666059&sprefix=spiritual+gifts+h%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-1) by Dr. Mary Healy and Dr. Randy Clark* ###### ***Course Description*** Jesus taught us that He is the good shepherd and we are his sheep and that we hear his voice (Jn 10:4). In the first part of this quarter, students will understand that their ability to hear God’s voice comes from who they are in God and not what they do for Him. Students will spend time learning the “language of the Holy Spirit” who speaks to us through us and the discernment needed to identify his voice from either our own or the enemy’s. After growing in greater understanding and confidence to hear God’s voice for their own life, students will learn what it means to share in Christ’s prophetic office (Lumen Gentium 12) and to seek out and discover the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit for ministry. As the Scripture teaches that we are to “earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, above all that we would prophesy” (1 Cor 14:1), our students come to understand that the prophetic gifts of the Holy Spirit are simply a matter of hearing God’s voice for the world around us that would have the effect of building up, encouraging and consoling others in Christ (1 Cor 14:3). In this quarter, students will have many creative opportunities for prophetic ministry with one another and opportunities for honest feedback and growth rooted in love. Quarter 3: Power & Healing *Supplemental Reading: [Healing: Bringing the Gift of God’s Mercy to the World ](https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Bringing-Gift-Mercy-World/dp/1612788203/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314670&sr=8-1&keywords=healing+healy)by Dr. Mary Healy* ###### ***Course Description*** Before Jesus gave the Eucharist or even the Holy Spirit to his disciples, he called his disciples to preach the Gospel and expected them to heal the sick (Mt 10:7-8; Luke 10:9). Jesus never proclaimed the Gospel without demonstrating and confirming the message with accompanying demonstrations of power – with physical healing being the most frequent sign. In this quarter, students learn a theology of healing that includes the role of healing in evangelization and the wisdom that healing ministry is done from a place of love and compassion for the sick. They will also learn a basic non-Sacramental prayer model for healing ministry and receive many opportunities in a safe and humble environment to participate in healing prayer both as individuals and in team settings. Students will also receive sessions on understanding the role of faith in healing ministry, words of knowledge for healing, the power of peace and how to overcome the discouragement that we can experience when healing does not occur. Overall, students will gain greater confidence to respond to Jesus’ invitation that “all who believe” can be used by God to bring healing to the world around them (Mk 16:18). Quarter 4: Inner Healing & Freedom *Supplemental Reading**: [Be Healed by Dr. Bob Schuchts](https://www.amazon.com/Be-Healed-Guide-Encountering-Powerful/dp/1594714762/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547314813&sr=8-1&keywords=be+healed+bob+schuchts) and [*Deliverance Ministry* ](https://www.amazon.com/Deliverance-International-Charismatic-Doctrinal-Commission/dp/0578353571/ref=sr_1_2?crid=13T2PIE2LVC2K&keywords=deliverance+ministry+healy&qid=1662048078&sprefix=deliverance+ministry+healy%2Caps%2C76&sr=8-2)by International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services Doctrinal Commission*** ###### ***Course Description*** ***Getting equipped to participate in Jesus’ ministry of “healing the broken hearted and binding up their wounds.”*** God has revealed himself as the Lord who “heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Ps 147:3). In this quarter, students will be equipped to engage in the ministry of inner healing and freedom. Students will have the opportunity to grow in God’s heart and desire to see the broken made whole and seek to cultivate tools and skill sets to partner with the Holy Spirit to bring healing to the heart. Students will learn the anatomy of the wounds that we experience in life and how to partner with Jesus to bring freedom from the lies, unforgiveness and disorder that come as a result of these wounds. Jesus also desires his children to be free from the influence of evil spirits. This quarter also teaches how to lead people into greater freedom from the influence of the enemy and to walk in the full protection of God (Ps 91, Eph 6). ###### **Year 2** Quarter 5: Intimacy with God *Supplemental Reading:* [*Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love*](https://www.amazon.com/Personal-Prayer-Guide-Receiving-Fathers/dp/1645850234?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG)*,* by Fr Thomas Acklin and Fr Boniface Hicks (find on Amazon or local retailer) ###### ***Course Description*** As the students have spent a majority of their time growing and cultivating their ministry gifts and skill sets, they need to understand the necessity of cultivating a greater and mature prayer life and become convinced that all fruitful ministry flows from intimacy with God. Jesus ultimately died for us not just so we could get to heaven, but that we could have the same kind of relationship that He enjoyed with the Father. Jesus modeled for us what intimacy looks like and this intimacy with the Father flows through Jesus in the Holy Spirit. From the richness of our vast spiritual tradition and the teaching of the spiritual doctors of the Church, students will learn how to engage in greater intimacy with God through scripture, meditative prayer, and contemplative prayer. They will dive into the riches in the Song of Songs, learn how to worship and seek after God’s own heart through the witness of David. Students will have an opportunity to grow in intercession, learn the practice of the discernment of spirits and cultivate a lifestyle of practicing the presence of God through abiding in Jesus. Quarter 6: Advanced Ministry Training *Supplemental Reading: [*Lord, Renew Your Wonders*](https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Renew-Your-Wonders-Spiritual/dp/1593253230)*, by Damian Stayne* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving from leaders in each area of ministry from the first four quarters and coming to a new level of depth and effect that was not possible in the first year.*** In the sixth quarter, we will go into more advanced areas of ministry that we were not able to address in the first year. In this quarter, seasoned leaders in each major area of ministry will be presenting to the students on advanced ministry approaches to seek greater fruitfulness and faith Quarter 7: Power Evangelization *Supplemental Reading: **[*Do What Jesus Did*](https://www.amazon.com/Do-What-Jesus-Did-Real-Life/dp/0800795571/ref=sr_1_1?crid=21C540TOXJ6UH&keywords=do%20what%20jesus%20did%20robby%20dawkins&qid=1656816273&s=books&sprefix=do%20what%20jesu%2Cstripbooks%2C98&sr=1-1&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG),** by Robby Dawkins & **[*A New Pentecost for The New Evangelization*](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/A-New-Pentecost-for-the-New-Evangelization-Y2-Summer-Reading.pdf)**[](https://dashboard.encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/A-New-Pentecost-for-the-New-Evangelization-Y2-Summer-Reading.pdf)*,* by Dr. Ralph Martin* ###### ***Course Description*** ***Receiving the Father’s heart for the lost and gaining the faith to preach the Gospel and partner with the Holy Spirit to demonstrate the reality and truth of the Gospel with the power of God that He has given us.*** Up until this point, all of the content that has been presented to the students can happen inside the four walls of the Church. In this quarter students will learn practical ways to effectively preach and present the Gospel to those in need of His salvation and grow in faith to demonstrate the reality of the kingdom through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Students will learn that evangelization accompanied by demonstrations of the power of God are part of our heritage going back to the early Church (1 Cor 2:3-5). Students will learn that the Church ultimately exists to evangelize and will be exposed to the rich tradition of teaching on evangelization we have as Catholics. They will learn how to present the basic Gospel message and the response that is necessary to the Gospel. Students will learn the power of testimony to opening someone up to faith in Jesus and how to effectively share their testimony. They will discover the keys to growing in faith and boldness to evangelize and practical ways to incorporate the prophetic gifts and healing for Evangelization. Quarter 8: Leadership & Deployment *Supplemental Reading: **[Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity](https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decree_19651118_apostolicam-actuositatem_en.html?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--xR9sz55XS0yMCykaQ7OwwSWQ0CBcZLO3rBB6OKzmTeGCiuCqL3vFou1cGiXHo5jxWbzXG)*** ###### ***Course Description*** ***Being prepared to get launched back into your sphere of influence to see the kingdom dreams become reality through equipping students to become leaders.*** Each member of the Church has received a call from God to participate in the Great Commission. To that end, God has put various dreams and visions on the hearts of the faithful to see the kingdom of God manifest in the world. In this quarter, we equip our students first with the faith that God wants to use them and see their kingdom dreams come to pass. He is looking for great saints that want to do great things in the world for him. Flowing from that reality, we will equip our students with practical tools and skills for the ability to both integrate what they’ve learned with existing parishes and communities as well as the wisdom and knowledge needed to launch to build and grow both new and existing apostolates or ministries. Students will also learn and be inspired by current leaders in the New Evangelization that have come before them as well to propel them to go forth from the school to build the kingdom of God in their spheres of influence. ## live *zoom* class Each week, you will join a live class through a free video conferencing platform called [***Zoom***](https://zoom.us).

Fidèles aux enseignements et à la Tradition de l’Église catholique, nous offrons aux étudiants un programme de formation dynamique sur deux ans, conçu pour les faire grandir et les amener à un nouvel élan dans leur vie missionnaire. *****Faites du surnaturel la norme de votre quotidien***** ***Fidèle à l’enseignement de l’Église sur les dons du Saint-Esprit.*** La plupart des gens ne font pas l’expérience du surnaturel dans leur quotidien. Leur vécu personnel semble bien éloigné des récits bibliques et des vies des saints. Si, au fond de vous, vous savez que Jésus-Christ n’est pas mort pour une Église impuissante, alors vous cherchez peut-être le « plus » promis par Dieu. L’Encounter School of Ministry peut radicalement renouveler votre façon de penser et transformer votre vie. **Une formation de disciples à long-terme.** ***Bâtir la confiance*** ***« Amen, amen, je vous le dis : celui qui croit en moi fera les œuvres que je fais. Il en fera même de plus grandes, parce que je pars vers le Père » – Jean 14,12*** Notre mission est de former des disciples capables de réaliser des « œuvres plus grandes ». C’est le Seigneur lui-même qui a initié ce modèle de discipulat à long terme. Jésus a consacré trois ans à enseigner, former et marcher aux côtés de ses disciples. Transformer un mode de vie et une mentalité prend du temps, et ce n’est pas un chemin que l’on doit emprunter seul. L’Encounter School of Ministry propose une formation soutenue et des outils concrets pour que la vie surnaturelle du Saint-Esprit devienne naturellement partie intégrante de votre quotidien, comme Jésus l’avait voulu. **Authentiquement catholique** ***Traditionnel et charismatique*** Nous croyons que la division entre « traditionnels » et « charismatiques » au sein de l’Église n’a jamais été voulue par Dieu. Cependant, nous reconnaissons que de profondes incompréhensions et un manque de formation ont souvent entravé la compréhension de l’utilisation et du rôle des dons spirituels. Nos enseignements s’enracinent dans l’Écriture, la tradition, le magistère de l’Église, les écrits des Pères de l’Église et la vie des saints. Nous sommes convaincus que le Seigneur a toujours souhaité que ses enfants baptisés utilisent les dons spirituels pour manifester le royaume de Dieu par des signes et des prodiges, tout comme lui – ce dont nous avons aujourd’hui grand besoin. Notre programme a été rigoureusement examiné par une équipe de théologiens et validé par les évêques présidant les différents campus satellites, chaque campus étant sous la responsabilité d’un évêque. Il n’est pas nécessaire d’être catholique pour rejoindre l’école. ***Apprenez à prendre des risques*** ***Posez des actes de foi*** Vous n’avez jamais prié pour une guérison ? Vous éprouvez des difficultés à entendre la voix de Dieu ? Vous ressentez de la crainte à l’idée de partager l’Évangile, ou cherchez à mieux comprendre l’enseignement de l’Église sur les dons spirituels ? Vous n’êtes pas seul, vos camarades de classe vous entourent et partagent les mêmes questionnements. L’Encounter School of Ministry est un espace sûr et bienveillant pour apprendre à prendre des risques dans la foi. Nous vous proposons des outils concrets et des modèles pratiques qui rendent la découverte et l’exercice de vos dons à la fois simples et accessibles.

Il offre la flexibilité de pouvoir visionner les sessions d’enseignement au moment où on le souhaite, ainsi que des échanges hebdomadaires avec la communauté des étudiants du monde entier. Ainsi, le campus en ligne est parfaitement adapté à ceux qui vivent trop loin pour se rendre sur un campus en présentiel ou dont l’emploi du temps nécessite plus de liberté. ![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/stats-fr.png "stats-fr - Encounter School of Ministry") **Vidéos** Chaque semaine, de nouvelles vidéos de cours sont mises à disposition sur le tableau de bord des étudiants. Elles sont complétées par des exercices pratiques ou autres activités, des lectures complémentaires et des notes de cours. Vous pouvez visionner les deux sessions au moment où votre emploi du temps vous le permet, mais cela doit être fait avant chaque cours hebdomadaire en direct sur Zoom. Toutes les sessions filmées sont animées par nos enseignants du campus principal ainsi que par des intervenants invités. Le campus en ligne suit le même programme que tous les autres campus de l’ESM. ***Tableau de bord des étudiants*** Chaque étudiant a accès à un tableau de bord en ligne, accessible via un ordinateur ou une application mobile. Le tableau de bord contient toutes les vidéos de cours, les polycopiés, les devoirs maison, les quiz et le forum des étudiants. Programme de l’école **Sessions *Zoom* en direct** Chaque semaine, vous participerez à un cours en direct via une plateforme de visioconférence gratuite appelée Zoom. Votre session Zoom, dynamique, sera conduite par votre animateur en ligne et comprendra des moments de prière, des sessions de questions-réponses, des activations (exercices pratiques), et se clôturera par un temps d’échange en fraternités dans des salles de discussion. Lors de votre inscription, vous aurez la possibilité de choisir le créneau horaire qui vous convient le mieux. **Activations** Les activations consistent à mettre en pratique ce que vous avez appris. Sur le campus en ligne, vous aurez l’opportunité, au sein de petits groupes dans des salles de discussion, de partager vos expériences, de prier avec d’autres et de mettre en pratique les dons surnaturels que Dieu vous accorde. **Fraternités** Chaque séance en direct sur Zoom comprendra un temps d’échange avec votre fraternité dans des salles de discussion. Ces groupes sont formés au début de l’année et vous accompagneront tout au long de votre parcours. Vous pourrez pratiquer, prier, résoudre des difficultés et vous réjouir des progrès au sein de cette cellule communautaire. **Programme de l’école** ***Authentiquement catholique. Approuvé par des théologiens. Approuvé par des évêques***. ###### **Aperçu** ***Écriture, Tradition, Pères de l’Église, Doctrine catholique.*** Avant d’être approuvé, notre programme d’études a fait l’objet d’une révision académique rigoureuse par une équipe de théologiens catholiques respectés. Au cours de l’année académique 2020-2021, Encounter Ministries s’est engagé dans une évaluation approfondie du contenu avec cette équipe afin de valider le programme de l’école. Chaque théologien a eu un accès complet au contenu enseigné à Encounter Ministries pour les trimestres qu’il avait choisis. Leur travail a non seulement permis de garantir que le programme est exempt d’erreurs morales et doctrinales, et profondément enraciné dans l’Écriture, l’enseignement officiel de l’Église et le témoignage des premiers Pères de l’Église, mais a également contribué à apporter une plus grande précision et clarté au programme afin de réduire les risques de confusion et d’assurer une parfaite continuité avec l’enseignement de l’Église. Approbations des évêques ###### Première année Module 1 : Identité et transformation *Lecture supplémentaire : [Supernatural Saints ](https://www.amazon.com/Supernatural-Saints-School-Ministry/dp/B0BJ4RPFQW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13KG0BEMFNJ30&keywords=supernatural+saints+book+by+patrick+reis&qid=1688665970&sprefix=supernatural+saints%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-1)par Patrick Reis* ###### ***Description des cours*** ***Poser les bases de tout apostolat sur votre identité royale en tant que fils et filles de Dieu. Vivre une transformation par le renouvellement de l’esprit.*** Avant de recevoir un enseignement et une formation pour des apostolats spécifiques, les étudiants doivent d’abord connaître leur véritable identité et à qui ils appartiennent. Ce premier module se concentre sur l’identité royale que nous recevons en tant que fils et filles de Dieu, héritiers appelés à accomplir les œuvres de Jésus et même des œuvres plus grandes (Jn 14,12). Tout au long de ce module, les étudiants sont amenés à passer d’une mentalité fondée sur la performance, où leur valeur et leur identité sont définies par ce qu’ils font pour Dieu, à une identité où leur valeur repose uniquement sur leur statut de fils et filles de Dieu. Il s’agit d’un véritable renouvellement de l’esprit, pour passer d’une perspective terrestre à une perspective céleste dans tout ce que nous entreprenons. (Mt 16,23). À chaque cours, les étudiants approfondissent leur compréhension et leur expérience de leur identité en tant que temples du Saint-Esprit, se fortifient dans la nouvelle nature reçue de Jésus par le baptême, apprennent à vivre dans la puissance du Saint-Esprit et à exercer l’autorité reçue pour étendre le royaume de Dieu dans une vie de mission. Ils sont également invités à découvrir de nouvelles dimensions de l’amour de Dieu et à comprendre comment le Père nous voit en Jésus. Module 2 : Entendre la voix de Dieu et les dons prophétiques du Saint-Esprit *Lecture supplémentaire : Les dons spirituels : Guide pratique par Mary Healy et Randy Clark* ###### ***Description des cours*** Jésus nous a enseigné qu’il est le bon berger, que nous sommes ses brebis et que nous entendons sa voix (Jn 10,4). Dans la première partie de ce module, les étudiants découvriront que leur capacité à entendre la voix de Dieu découle de leur identité en Dieu et non de leurs actions pour lui. Ils apprendront à reconnaître le « langage du Saint-Esprit », qui s’exprime en nous et à travers nous, ainsi que le discernement nécessaire pour distinguer sa voix de la leur ou de celle de l’ennemi. Après avoir acquis une meilleure compréhension et confiance dans l’écoute de la voix de Dieu pour leur propre vie, les étudiants découvriront ce que signifie participer à la fonction prophétique du Christ (Lumen Gentium 12) et comment rechercher et développer les dons prophétiques du Saint-Esprit pour la mission. Comme l’Écriture nous enseigne de « désirer ardemment les dons spirituels, surtout le don de prophétie » (1Co 14,1), les étudiants comprendront que les dons prophétiques du Saint-Esprit consistent essentiellement à entendre la voix de Dieu pour le monde qui les entoure, dans le but d’édifier, d’encourager et de consoler les autres en Christ (1Co 14,3). Au cours de ce module, les étudiants bénéficieront de nombreuses occasions créatives d’exercer les dons prophétiques les uns avec les autres, tout en ayant l’opportunité de recevoir des retours sincères et de grandir, enracinés dans l’amour. Module 3 : Puissance et guérison *Lecture supplémentaire : Guérir, comment offrir au monde la miséricorde de Dieu par Mary Healy* ###### ***Description des cours*** Avant de donner l’Eucharistie ou même l’Esprit Saint à ses disciples, Jésus les a appelés à prêcher l’Évangile et attendait d’eux qu’ils guérissent les malades (Mt 10,7-8 ; Lc 10,9). Jésus n’a jamais proclamé l’Évangile sans confirmer son message par des manifestations de puissance, la guérison physique étant le signe le plus fréquent. Dans ce module, les étudiants découvriront une théologie de la guérison qui englobe le rôle de celle-ci dans l’évangélisation et la nécessité de pratiquer le ministère de guérison avec amour et compassion pour les malades. Ils apprendront également un modèle de prière de guérison non sacramentelle et auront de nombreuses occasions, dans un environnement sûr et empreint d’humilité, de participer à la prière de guérison, tant individuellement qu’en équipe. Les étudiants bénéficieront également de sessions sur le rôle de la foi dans le ministère de guérison, les paroles de connaissance pour la guérison, la puissance de la paix et la manière de surmonter le découragement lorsque la guérison ne se produit pas. Globalement, ils gagneront en assurance pour répondre à l’appel de Jésus qui dit que « tous ceux qui croient » peuvent être mis à contribution par Dieu pour apporter la guérison au monde qui les entoure (Mc 16,18). Module 4 : Guérison intérieure et liberté *Lecture supplémentaire : Be Healed par Bob Schuchts et Le ministère de délivrance par le Service International du Renouveau Charismatique Catholique* ###### ***Description des coursn*** ***Se former pour participer au ministère de Jésus qui « guérit ceux qui ont le cœur brisé et soigne leurs blessures ».*** Dieu s’est révélé comme le Seigneur qui « guérit ceux qui ont le cœur brisé et soigne leurs blessures » (Ps 146,3). Dans ce module, les étudiants seront formés pour s’engager dans le ministère de la guérison intérieure et de la liberté. Ils auront l’occasion de grandir dans le cœur et le désir de Dieu de voir la restauration de ceux qui sont blessés par la vie. Ils chercheront à développer des outils et des compétences pour collaborer avec le Saint-Esprit afin d’apporter la guérison du cœur. Les étudiants découvriront l’anatomie des blessures que nous rencontrons au cours de notre existence et apprendront à s’associer à Jésus pour aider les autres à trouver la liberté face aux mensonges, au manque de pardon, et aux désordres intérieurs causés par ces blessures. Jésus désire également que ses enfants soient délivrés de l’influence des esprits mauvais. Ce module enseignera comment guider les personnes vers une liberté plus profonde face aux attaques de l’ennemi et à vivre pleinement sous la protection de Dieu (Ps 91 ; Ep 6). ###### Deuxième année Module 5 : Intimité avec Dieu *Lecture supplémentaire : Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love par le Père Thomas Acklin et le Père Boniface Hicks* ###### ***Description des cours*** Après avoir consacré la majeure partie de leur temps à développer et à cultiver leurs dons et compétences pour le ministère, les étudiants doivent maintenant comprendre l’importance de nourrir une vie de prière plus profonde et plus mature, et reconnaître que tout ministère fécond prend racine dans l’intimité avec Dieu. Jésus est mort pour nous, non seulement pour que nous accédions au ciel, mais aussi pour que nous puissions vivre la même relation qu’il a eue avec le Père. Jésus nous a montré ce qu’est l’intimité avec le Père, une relation qui se vit à travers lui dans le Saint-Esprit. En s’appuyant sur la richesse de notre grande tradition spirituelle et sur les enseignements des docteurs spirituels de l’Église, les étudiants apprendront à approfondir leur intimité avec Dieu par l’Écriture, la prière méditative et l’oraison. Ils plongeront dans les trésors du Cantique des cantiques, apprendront à louer et à chercher le cœur de Dieu à travers l’exemple de David. Ils auront l’opportunité de grandir dans l’intercession, de s’exercer au discernement des esprits et de développer un mode de vie basé sur la pratique de la présence de Dieu en demeurant en Jésus. Module 6 : Formation avancée au ministère *Lecture supplémentaire : Renouvelle tes merveilles par Damian Stayne* ###### ***Description des cours*** ***Bénéficier de l’enseignement de leaders spécialisés dans chaque domaine du ministère abordé lors des quatre premiers modules, afin d’approfondir ses compétences et d’atteindre un niveau d’efficacité supérieur à celui de la première année.*** Dans le sixième module, nous explorerons des aspects plus avancés du ministère, non abordés en première année. Des leaders expérimentés dans chaque domaine clé du ministère partageront avec les étudiants des approches approfondies pour cultiver une plus grande fécondité et une foi renforcée. Module 7 : Évangéliser par la puissance du Saint-Esprit *Lecture supplémentaire : Do What Jesus Did par Robby Dawkins et A New Pentecost for The New Evangelization par Ralph Martin* ###### ***Description des cours*** ***Recevoir le cœur du Père pour les âmes perdues et acquérir la foi nécessaire pour prêcher l’Évangile. Collaborer avec le Saint-Esprit pour manifester la réalité et la vérité de ce message à travers la puissance que Dieu nous a confiée.*** Jusqu’à présent, tout le contenu enseigné aux étudiants se concentrait sur des pratiques réalisables à l’intérieur des quatre murs de l’Église. Or, dans ce module, les étudiants découvriront des moyens concrets de prêcher et de présenter l’Évangile à ceux qui ont besoin du salut, tout en renforçant leur foi pour manifester le royaume de Dieu à travers les dons du Saint-Esprit. Ils apprendront que l’évangélisation, accompagnée de manifestations de la puissance divine, fait partie de l’héritage de l’Église, un héritage remontant aux origines mêmes de celle-ci (1Co 2,3-5). En outre, ils seront introduits à la riche tradition catholique d’enseignement sur l’évangélisation et découvriront que l’Église existe avant tout pour porter la Bonne Nouvelle. Dans ce cadre, ils apprendront à présenter le cœur du message de l’Évangile et à inviter à y répondre de manière appropriée. Ils comprendront également combien le témoignage personnel est crucial pour susciter la foi en Jésus, et verront comment le partager avec impact. Enfin, ils exploreront les moyens de grandir dans la foi et dans l’audace pour évangéliser, tout en découvrant des approches concrètes pour intégrer les dons prophétiques et la guérison dans l’annonce de l’Évangile. Module 8 : Leadership et déploiement *Lecture supplémentaire : Décret sur l’apostolat des laïcs* ###### ***Description des cours*** ***Être préparé à retourner dans votre sphère d’influence pour voir vos rêves pour le royaume devenir réalité, en équipant les étudiants à devenir des leaders.*** Chaque membre de l’Église est appelé par Dieu à participer à la Grande Mission. Pour ce faire, Dieu a placé divers rêves et visions dans le cœur des fidèles afin de voir son royaume se manifester dans le monde. Dans ce module, nous aidons nos étudiants à développer d’abord la conviction que Dieu veut les mettre à contribution et voir leurs rêves pour le royaume se concrétiser. Il cherche de grands saints prêts à accomplir de grandes choses pour lui dans le monde. À partir de cette conviction, nous les doterons d’outils pratiques et de compétences pour intégrer ce qu’ils ont appris dans les paroisses et communautés existantes, ainsi que de la sagesse et des connaissances nécessaires pour lancer, bâtir et développer de nouveaux apostolats ou ministères, ainsi que renforcer ceux déjà en place. Les étudiants apprendront également des leaders actuels de la nouvelle évangélisation qui les ont précédés, s’inspirant de leurs parcours pour les aider à aller de l’avant et à édifier le royaume de Dieu dans leurs propres sphères d’influence. **Instructeurs** **Animateurs** Les animateurs assurent la conduite de toutes les sessions Zoom et sont affectés à des créneaux horaires, de sorte que les étudiants auront le même animateur pour la plupart de leurs sessions Zoom.

Approuvé par des théologiens. Approuvé par des évêques***. ###### **Aperçu** ***Écriture, Tradition, Pères de l’Église, Doctrine catholique.*** Avant d’être approuvé, notre programme d’études fait l’objet d’une révision académique rigoureuse par une équipe de théologiens catholiques respectés. Au cours de l’année académique 2020-2021, Encounter Ministries s’est engagé dans une évaluation approfondie du contenu avec cette équipe afin de valider le programme de l’école. Chaque théologien a eu un accès complet au contenu enseigné à Encounter Ministries pour les trimestres qu’il avait choisis. Leur travail a non seulement permis de garantir que le programme est exempt d’erreurs morales et doctrinales, et profondément enraciné dans l’Écriture, l’enseignement officiel de l’Église et le témoignage des premiers Pères de l’Église, mais a également contribué à apporter une plus grande précision et clarté au programme afin de réduire les risques de confusion et d’assurer une parfaite continuité avec l’enseignement de l’Église. ###### Première année Module 1 : Identité et transformation *Lecture supplémentaire : [Supernatural Saints ](https://www.amazon.com/Supernatural-Saints-School-Ministry/dp/B0BJ4RPFQW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13KG0BEMFNJ30&keywords=supernatural+saints+book+by+patrick+reis&qid=1688665970&sprefix=supernatural+saints%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-1)par Patrick Reis* ###### ***Description des cours*** ***Poser les bases de tout ministère sur votre identité royale en tant que fils et filles de Dieu, qui vivent une transformation par le renouvellement de l’esprit.*** Avant de recevoir un enseignement et une formation dans des domaines spécifiques du ministère, les étudiants doivent d’abord connaître leur véritable identité et à qui ils appartiennent. Ce premier module se concentre sur l’identité royale que nous recevons en tant que fils et filles de Dieu, héritiers appelés à accomplir les œuvres de Jésus et même des œuvres plus grandes (Jn 14,12). Tout au long de ce module, les étudiants sont amenés à passer d’une mentalité fondée sur la performance, où leur valeur et leur identité sont définies par ce qu’ils font pour Dieu, à une identité où leur valeur repose uniquement sur leur statut de fils et filles de Dieu. Ils découvrent la nature de la transformation par le renouvellement de l’esprit et cherchent à passer d’une perspective terrestre à une perspective céleste concernant le ministère (Mt 16,23). À chaque cours, les étudiants approfondissent leur compréhension et leur expérience de leur identité en tant que temples du Saint-Esprit, se fortifient dans la nouvelle nature reçue de Jésus par le baptême, apprennent à vivre dans la puissance du Saint-Esprit et à exercer l’autorité reçue pour étendre le royaume de Dieu dans une vie de mission. Ils sont également invités à découvrir de nouvelles dimensions de l’amour de Dieu et à comprendre comment le Père nous voit en Jésus. Module 2 : Entendre la voix de Dieu et les dons prophétiques du Saint-Esprit *Lecture supplémentaire : Les dons spirituels : Guide pratique par Mary Healy et Randy Clark* ###### ***Description des cours*** Jésus nous a enseigné qu’il est le bon berger, que nous sommes ses brebis et que nous entendons sa voix (Jn 10,4). Dans la première partie de ce module, les étudiants découvriront que leur capacité à entendre la voix de Dieu découle de leur identité en Dieu et non de leurs actions pour lui. Ils apprendront à reconnaître le « langage du Saint-Esprit », qui s’exprime en nous et à travers nous, ainsi que le discernement nécessaire pour distinguer sa voix de la leur ou de celle de l’ennemi. Après avoir acquis une meilleure compréhension et confiance dans l’écoute de la voix de Dieu pour leur propre vie, les étudiants découvriront ce que signifie participer à la fonction prophétique du Christ (Lumen Gentium 12) et comment rechercher et développer les dons prophétiques du Saint-Esprit pour le ministère. Comme l’Écriture nous enseigne de « désirer ardemment les dons spirituels, surtout le don de prophétie » (1Co 14,1), les étudiants comprendront que les dons prophétiques du Saint-Esprit consistent essentiellement à entendre la voix de Dieu pour le monde qui les entoure, dans le but d’édifier, d’encourager et de consoler les autres en Christ (1Co 14,3). Au cours de ce module, les étudiants bénéficieront de nombreuses occasions créatives d’exercer le ministère prophétique les uns avec les autres, tout en ayant l’opportunité de recevoir des retours sincères et de grandir, enracinés dans l’amour. Module 3 : Puissance et guérison *Lecture supplémentaire : Guérir, comment offrir au monde la miséricorde de Dieu par Mary Healy* ###### ***Description des cours*** Avant de donner l’Eucharistie ou même l’Esprit Saint à ses disciples, Jésus les a appelés à prêcher l’Évangile et attendait d’eux qu’ils guérissent les malades (Mt 10,7-8 ; Lc 10,9). Jésus n’a jamais proclamé l’Évangile sans confirmer son message par des manifestations de puissance, la guérison physique étant le signe le plus fréquent. Dans ce module, les étudiants découvriront une théologie de la guérison qui englobe le rôle de celle-ci dans l’évangélisation et la nécessité de pratiquer le ministère de guérison avec amour et compassion pour les malades. Ils apprendront également un modèle de prière de guérison non sacramentelle et auront de nombreuses occasions, dans un environnement sûr et empreint d’humilité, de participer à la prière de guérison, tant individuellement qu’en équipe. Les étudiants bénéficieront également de sessions sur le rôle de la foi dans le ministère de guérison, les paroles de connaissance pour la guérison, la puissance de la paix et la manière de surmonter le découragement lorsque la guérison ne se produit pas. Globalement, ils gagneront en assurance pour répondre à l’appel de Jésus qui dit que « tous ceux qui croient » peuvent être mis à contribution par Dieu pour apporter la guérison au monde qui les entoure (Mc 16,18). Module 4 : Guérison intérieure et liberté *Lecture supplémentaire : Be Healed par Bob Schuchts et Le ministère de délivrance par le Service International du Renouveau Charismatique Catholique* ###### ***Description des coursn*** ***Se former pour participer au ministère de Jésus qui « guérit ceux qui ont le cœur brisé et soigne leurs blessures ».*** Dieu s’est révélé comme le Seigneur qui « guérit ceux qui ont le cœur brisé et soigne leurs blessures » (Ps 146,3). Dans ce module, les étudiants seront formés pour s’engager dans le ministère de la guérison intérieure et de la liberté. Ils auront l’occasion de grandir dans le cœur et le désir de Dieu de voir la restauration de ceux qui sont blessés par la vie. Ils chercheront à développer des outils et des compétences pour collaborer avec le Saint-Esprit afin d’apporter la guérison du cœur. Les étudiants découvriront l’anatomie des blessures que nous rencontrons au cours de notre existence et apprendront à s’associer à Jésus pour aider les autres à trouver la liberté face aux mensonges, au manque de pardon, et aux désordres intérieurs causés par ces blessures. Jésus désire également que ses enfants soient délivrés de l’influence des esprits mauvais. Ce module enseignera comment guider les personnes vers une liberté plus profonde face aux attaques de l’ennemi et à vivre pleinement sous la protection de Dieu (Ps 91 ; Ep 6). ###### Première année Module 5 : Intimité avec Dieu *Lecture supplémentaire : Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love par le Père Thomas Acklin et le Père Boniface Hicks* ###### ***Description des cours*** Après avoir consacré la majeure partie de leur temps à développer et à cultiver leurs dons et compétences pour le ministère, les étudiants doivent maintenant comprendre l’importance de nourrir une vie de prière plus profonde et plus mature, et reconnaître que tout ministère fécond prend racine dans l’intimité avec Dieu. Jésus est mort pour nous, non seulement pour que nous accédions au ciel, mais aussi pour que nous puissions vivre la même relation qu’il a eue avec le Père. Jésus nous a montré ce qu’est l’intimité avec le Père, une relation qui se vit à travers lui dans le Saint-Esprit. En s’appuyant sur la richesse de notre grande tradition spirituelle et sur les enseignements des docteurs spirituels de l’Église, les étudiants apprendront à approfondir leur intimité avec Dieu par l’Écriture, la prière méditative et l’oraison. Ils plongeront dans les trésors du Cantique des cantiques, apprendront à louer et à chercher le cœur de Dieu à travers l’exemple de David. Ils auront l’opportunité de grandir dans l’intercession, de s’exercer au discernement des esprits et de développer un mode de vie basé sur la pratique de la présence de Dieu en demeurant en Jésus. Module 6 : Formation avancée au ministère *Lecture supplémentaire : Renouvelle tes merveilles par Damian Stayne* ###### ***Description des cours*** ***Bénéficier de l’enseignement de leaders spécialisés dans chaque domaine du ministère abordé lors des quatre premiers modules, afin d’approfondir ses compétences et d’atteindre un niveau d’efficacité supérieur à celui de la première année.*** Dans le sixième module, nous explorerons des aspects plus avancés du ministère, non abordés en première année. Des leaders expérimentés dans chaque domaine clé du ministère partageront avec les étudiants des approches approfondies pour cultiver une plus grande fécondité et une foi renforcée. Module 7 : Évangéliser par la puissance du Saint-Esprit *Lecture supplémentaire : Do What Jesus Did par Robby Dawkins et A New Pentecost for The New Evangelization par Ralph Martin* ###### ***Description des cours*** ***Recevoir le cœur du Père pour les âmes perdues et acquérir la foi nécessaire pour prêcher l’Évangile. Collaborer avec le Saint-Esprit pour manifester la réalité et la vérité de ce message à travers la puissance que Dieu nous a confiée.*** Jusqu’à présent, tout le contenu enseigné aux étudiants se concentrait sur des pratiques réalisables à l’intérieur des quatre murs de l’Église. Or, dans ce module, les étudiants découvriront des moyens concrets de prêcher et de présenter l’Évangile à ceux qui ont besoin du salut, tout en renforçant leur foi pour manifester le royaume de Dieu à travers les dons du Saint-Esprit. Ils apprendront que l’évangélisation, accompagnée de manifestations de la puissance divine, fait partie de l’héritage de l’Église, un héritage remontant aux origines mêmes de celle-ci (1Co 2,3-5). En outre, ils seront introduits à la riche tradition catholique d’enseignement sur l’évangélisation et découvriront que l’Église existe avant tout pour porter la Bonne Nouvelle. Dans ce cadre, ils apprendront à présenter le cœur du message de l’Évangile et à inviter à y répondre de manière appropriée. Ils comprendront également combien le témoignage personnel est crucial pour susciter la foi en Jésus, et verront comment le partager avec impact. Enfin, ils exploreront les moyens de grandir dans la foi et dans l’audace pour évangéliser, tout en découvrant des approches concrètes pour intégrer les dons prophétiques et la guérison dans l’annonce de l’Évangile. Module 8 : Leadership et déploiement *Lecture supplémentaire : Décret sur l’apostolat des laïcs* ###### ***Description des cours*** ***Être préparé à retourner dans votre sphère d’influence pour voir vos rêves pour le royaume devenir réalité, en équipant les étudiants à devenir des leaders.*** Chaque membre de l’Église est appelé par Dieu à participer à la Grande Mission. Pour ce faire, Dieu a placé divers rêves et visions dans le cœur des fidèles afin de voir son royaume se manifester dans le monde. Dans ce module, nous aidons nos étudiants à développer d’abord la conviction que Dieu veut les mettre à contribution et voir leurs rêves pour le royaume se concrétiser. Il cherche de grands saints prêts à accomplir de grandes choses pour lui dans le monde. À partir de cette conviction, nous les doterons d’outils pratiques et de compétences pour intégrer ce qu’ils ont appris dans les paroisses et communautés existantes, ainsi que de la sagesse et des connaissances nécessaires pour lancer, bâtir et développer de nouveaux apostolats ou ministères, ainsi que renforcer ceux déjà en place. Les étudiants apprendront également des leaders actuels de la nouvelle évangélisation qui les ont précédés, s’inspirant de leurs parcours pour les aider à aller de l’avant et à édifier le royaume de Dieu dans leurs propres sphères d’influence. ## Instructeurs ###### Les animateurs Les animateurs assurent la conduite de toutes les sessions Zoom et sont affectés à des créneaux horaires, de sorte que les étudiants auront le même animateur pour la plupart de leurs sessions Zoom.

Mit der Flexibilität, den Unterricht zu verfolgen, und der wöchentlichen Verbindung mit Studenten aus der deutschsprachigen Welt ist der Online-Campus die perfekte Lösung für alle, die nicht in der Nähe eines Campus leben oder deren Kalender mehr Freiheit erfordert. ![](https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/stat-deutscher.png "stat-deutscher - Encounter School of Ministry") ## videos Jede Woche stehen neue Lehrvideos auf dem Studenten-Dashboard zur Verfügung, die Sie durch den Lehrplan mit zugewiesenen Hausaufgaben, zusätzlicher Lektüre, Tagebucheinträgen oder anderen Aktivitäten führen. Schauen Sie sich die beiden Sitzungen so flexibel an, wie es Ihr Zeitplan zulässt und schließen Sie sie vor jeder wöchentlichen Live-Zoom-Sitzung ab. Alle Sitzungen werden von unseren Hauptcampus- Lehrern und Gastlehrern gehalten. Der Online-Campus folgt demselben Lehrplan wie alle anderen ESM-Campus. ###### Studenten-Dashboard Jeder Student hat Zugang zu einem Online-Dashboard, das über einen Computer oder eine mobile App aufgerufen werden kann. Das Dashboard enthält alle Lehrvideos, Handouts, Aufgaben, Quizze und das Teilnehmerforum. Curriculum ## Curriculum ***Authentisch katholisch. Von Theologen geprüft. Vom Bischof genehmigt.*** Bischöfliche Genehmigungen ###### Übersicht ***Zuverlässige Lehre.*** Vor der Genehmigung wurde unser Lehrplan einer strengen akademischen Prüfung durch ein Team angesehener katholischer Theologen unterzogen, darunter Dr. Mary Healy, Dr. Alan Schreck, Dr. Daniel Keating, Rev. Peter F. Ryan, S.J. und Dr. Robert Fastiggi. Sie haben sich nicht nur dafür eingesetzt, dass der Lehrplan frei von moralischen und lehrmäßigen Irrtümern und tief in der Heiligen Schrift, der offiziellen Lehre der Kirche und dem Zeugnis der frühen Kirchenväter verwurzelt ist, sondern sie haben auch dazu beigetragen, den Lehrplan präziser und genauer zu gestalten, um mögliche Verwirrung zu verringern und die volle Kontinuität mit der Lehre der Kirche zu gewährleisten. Dieser Campus wurde vom Bischof der Diözese geprüft und genehmigt. ###### Jahr 1 Quartal 1: Identität und Wandel *Ergänzende Lektüre: Geisterfüllte Heilige von Patrick Reis* ###### ***Kursbeschreibung*** ***Die Grundlage für jeden Dienst ist Ihre königliche Identität als Söhne und Töchter Gottes, die durch die Erneuerung des Geistes eine Verwandlung erfahren.*** Bevor Studenten in bestimmten Bereichen des Dienstes unterrichtet und ausgebildet werden, müssen sie wissen, wer sie sind und wem sie gehören. Das erste Quartal konzentriert sich auf die königliche Identität, die wir als Söhne und Töchter Gottes erhalten, die ein Erbe erhalten haben, um die Werke Jesu und noch größere Werke zu tun (Joh 14,12). Während des gesamten Quartals arbeiten die Studenten daran, von einer leistungsorientierten Mentalität, bei der ihr Wert und ihre Identität von dem abhängen, was sie für Gott tun, zu einer Identität überzugehen, bei der ihr Wert von dem kommt, was sie als Söhne und Töchter Gottes allein sind. Die Studenten lernen das Wesen der Verwandlung durch die Erneuerung des Geistes kennen und versuchen, in Bezug auf ihren Dienst von einer irdischen zu einer himmlischen Perspektive überzugehen (Mt 16,23). In jedem Kurs lernen die Studenten, ihre Identität als Tempel des Heiligen Geistes zu verstehen, von der neuen Natur überzeugt zu werden, die wir von Jesus in der Taufe erhalten haben, in der Kraft des Heiligen Geistes zu leben und auf die Vollmacht zu antworten, die wir erhalten haben, um das Reich Gottes für ein Leben in der Mission zu erweitern. In jedem Kurs lernen die Teilnehmer neue Bereiche der Liebe Gottes kennen und erfahren, wie der Vater uns in Jesus sieht. Quartal 2: Gottes Stimme hören und die prophetischen Gaben des Heiligen Geistes *Ergänzende Lektüre: Das Handbuch der geistlichen Gaben von Dr. Mary Healy und Dr. Randy Clark* ###### ***Kursbeschreibung*** Jesus lehrte uns, dass er der gute Hirte ist und wir seine Schafe und dass wir seine Stimme hören (Joh 10,4). Im ersten Teil dieses Quartals werden die Studenten lernen, dass ihre Fähigkeit, Gottes Stimme zu hören, von dem kommt, wer sie in Gott sind und nicht von dem, was sie für ihn tun. Die Studenten werden Zeit damit verbringen, die „Sprache des Heiligen Geistes“ zu lernen, der durch uns zu uns spricht, und die Unterscheidungskraft, die nötig ist, um seine Stimme von unserer eigenen oder der des Feindes zu unterscheiden. Nachdem sie in ihrem Verständnis und ihrer Zuversicht gewachsen sind, Gottes Stimme für ihr eigenes Leben zu hören, werden die Studenten lernen, was es bedeutet, am Prophetenamt Christi teilzuhaben (Lumen Gentium 12) und die prophetischen Gaben des Heiligen Geistes für den Dienst zu entdecken und zu nutzen. Da die Heilige Schrift lehrt, dass wir „ernsthaft die Geistesgaben erstreben sollen, vor allem, die prophetische Rede“ (1 Kor 14,1), lernen unsere Studenten zu verstehen, dass es bei den prophetischen Gaben des Heiligen Geistes einfach darum geht, Gottes Stimme für die Welt um uns herum zu hören, die den Effekt hat, dass sie andere in Christus aufbaut, ermutigt und tröstet (1 Kor 14,3). In diesem Quartal werden die Studenten viele kreative Gelegenheiten für den prophetischen Dienst untereinander haben sowie Gelegenheiten für ehrliches Feedback und Wachstum, das in der Liebe verwurzelt ist. Quartal 3: Kraft und Heilung *Ergänzende Lektüre: Heilung: Der Welt die Gabe der Barmherzigkeit Gottes bringen von Dr. Mary Healy* ###### ***Beschreibung des Kurses*** Bevor Jesus seinen Jüngern die Eucharistie gab oder den Heiligen Geist verlieh, rief er seine Jünger auf, das Evangelium zu verkünden und erwartete von ihnen, dass sie die Kranken heilten (Mt 10,7-8; Lk 10,9). Jesus verkündete das Evangelium nie, ohne die Botschaft durch begleitende Zeichen der Vollmacht zu demonstrieren und zu bestätigen – wobei die körperliche Heilung das häufigste Zeichen war. In diesem Vierteljahr lernen die Studenten eine Heilungstheologie kennen, die die Rolle der Heilung bei der Evangelisierung und die Weisheit einschließt, dass der Heilungsdienst aus einem Gefühl der Liebe und des Mitgefühls für die Kranken heraus geschieht. Sie lernen auch ein grundlegendes nicht-sakramentales Gebetsmodell für den Heilungsdienst kennen und erhalten viele Gelegenheiten, in einer sicheren und einfachen Umgebung am Heilungsgebet teilzunehmen, sowohl als Einzelpersonen als auch in Teamsituationen. Die Teilnehmer werden auch über die Rolle des Glaubens im Heilungsdienst, Worte der Erkenntnis für die Heilung, die Kraft des Friedens und die Überwindung der Entmutigung, die wir erleben können, wenn keine Heilung eintritt, unterrichtet. Insgesamt werden die Studenten mehr Selbstvertrauen gewinnen, um der Einladung Jesu zu folgen, dass „alle, die glauben“, von Gott gebraucht werden können, um der Welt um sie herum Heilung zu bringen (Mk 16,18). Quartal 4: Innere Heilung und Freiheit *Ergänzende Lektüre: Sei geheilt von Dr. Bob Schuchts und Befreiungsdienst von International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services Doctrinal Commission* ###### ***Beschreibung des Kurses*** ***Wir werden ausgerüstet, um am Dienst Jesu teilzunehmen, der „die Menschen mit gebrochenem Herzen heilt und ihre Wunden verbindet“.*** Gott hat sich als der Herr geoffenbart, der „die mit gebrochenem Herzen heilt und ihre Wunden verbindet“ (Ps 147,3). In diesem Quartal werden die Studenten dazu befähigt, den Dienst der inneren Heilung und Freiheit zu übernehmen. Die Studenten werden die Gelegenheit haben, in Gottes Herz und Wunsch zu wachsen, dass die Zerbrochenen heil werden, und sie werden versuchen, Werkzeuge und Fähigkeiten zu kultivieren, um mit dem Heiligen Geist zusammenzuarbeiten, um Heilung in das Herz zu bringen. Die Teilnehmer lernen die Anatomie der Wunden kennen, die wir im Leben erfahren, und erfahren, wie sie mit Jesus zusammenarbeiten können, um sich von Lügen, Unversöhnlichkeit und Unordnung zu befreien, die aus diesen Wunden resultieren. Jesus möchte auch, dass seine Kinder frei vom Einfluss böser Geister sind. In diesem Vierteljahr wird auch gelehrt, wie man Menschen zu größerer Freiheit vom Einfluss des Feindes führt und sie in den vollen Schutz Gottes stellt (Ps 91, Eph 6). ###### Jahr 2 Quartal 5: Intimität mit Gott *Ergänzende Lektüre: Persönliches Gebet: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love, von P. Thomas Acklin und P. Boniface Hicks* ###### ***Beschreibung des Kurses*** Da die Teilnehmer einen Großteil ihrer Zeit damit verbracht haben, ihre Gaben und Fähigkeiten für den Dienst zu entwickeln und zu kultivieren, müssen sie die Notwendigkeit verstehen, ein größeres und reiferes Gebetsleben zu pflegen und davon überzeugt werden, dass jeder fruchtbare Dienst aus der Vertrautheit mit Gott erwächst. Jesus ist schließlich nicht nur für uns gestorben, damit wir in den Himmel kommen, sondern damit wir die gleiche Art von Beziehung haben können, die er mit dem Vater hatte. Jesus hat uns vorgelebt, wie Intimität aussieht, und diese Intimität mit dem Vater fließt durch Jesus im Heiligen Geist. Aus dem Reichtum unserer großen spirituellen Tradition und den Schriften der Kirchenlehrer werden die Studenten lernen, wie sie durch die Heilige Schrift, das meditative und kontemplative Gebet eine engere Beziehung zu Gott aufbauen können. Sie werden in den Reichtum des Hohelieds eintauchen, lernen, wie man anbetet und durch das Zeugnis Davids nach Gottes Herzen sucht. Die Teilnehmer werden Gelegenheit haben, in der Fürbitte zu wachsen, die Unterscheidung der Geister zu verbessern und einen Lebensstil zu kultivieren, der die Gegenwart Gottes durch das Verweilen in Jesus praktiziert. Quartal 6: Fortgeschrittene Schulung für den Dienst *Ergänzende Lektüre: Herr, erneuere deine Wunder, von Damian Stayne* ###### ***Beschreibung des Kurses*** ***Wir werden von den Leitern in jedem Bereich des Dienstes aus den ersten vier Quartalen empfangen und zu einer neuen Tiefe und Wirkung kommen, die im ersten Jahr nicht möglich war.*** Im sechsten Quartal werden wir in fortgeschrittenere Bereiche des Dienstes einsteigen, die wir im ersten Jahr nicht behandeln konnten. In diesem Quartal werden erfahrene Leiter in jedem Hauptbereich des Dienstes den Studenten fortgeschrittene Ansätze für den Dienst vorstellen, um größere Fruchtbarkeit und Glauben zu erreichen. Quartal 7: Power-Evangelisierung *Ergänzende Lektüre: Tu, was Jesus tat, von Robby Dawkins & A New Pentecost for The New Evangelization, von Dr. Ralph Martin* ###### ***Beschreibung des Kurses*** ***Das Herz des Vaters für die Verlorenen empfangen und den Glauben gewinnen, das Evangelium predigen und mit dem Heiligen Geist zusammenarbeiten, um die Realität und Wahrheit des Evangeliums mit der Kraft Gottes, die er uns gegeben hat, zu demonstrieren.*** Bis zu diesem Punkt können alle Inhalte, die den Studenten vermittelt wurden, innerhalb der vier Wände der Kirche stattfinden. In diesem Vierteljahr lernen die Studenten praktische Wege kennen, um das Evangelium effektiv zu predigen und denjenigen zu präsentieren, die seiner Erlösung bedürfen, und im Glauben zu wachsen und um die Realität des Reiches Gottes durch die Gaben des Heiligen Geistes zu demonstrieren. Die Studenten werden lernen, dass Evangelisation, begleitet von Demonstrationen der Kraft Gottes, Teil unseres Erbes ist, das auf die frühe Kirche zurückgeht (1 Kor 2,3-5). Die Studenten werden lernen, dass die Kirche letztlich existiert, um zu evangelisieren, und sie werden mit der reichen Tradition der Lehre über die Evangelisierung vertraut gemacht, die wir als Katholiken haben. Sie werden lernen, wie sie die grundlegende Botschaft des Evangeliums und die notwendige Antwort auf das Evangelium vermitteln können. Die Teilnehmer lernen die Macht des Zeugnisses kennen, um jemanden für den Glauben an Jesus zu gewinnen, und wie sie ihr Zeugnis wirksam weitergeben können. Sie werden die Schlüssel für das Wachsen im Glauben und den Mut zur Evangelisierung entdecken und praktische Wege finden, um die prophetischen Gaben und die Heilung für die Evangelisierung zu nutzen. Quartal 8: Führung und Umsetzung Ergänzende Lektüre: Dekret über das Apostolat der Laien ###### ***Beschreibung des Kurses*** ***Sich darauf vorbereiten, wieder in den eigenen Einflussbereich zu gehen, um die Träume des Reiches Gottes Wirklichkeit werden zu lassen, indem man Studenten zu Führungskräften ausrüstet.*** Jedes Mitglied der Kirche hat von Gott den Ruf erhalten, sich am Missionsbefehl zu beteiligen. Zu diesem Zweck hat Gott verschiedene Träume und Visionen auf die Herzen der Gläubigen gelegt, um das Reich Gottes in der Welt manifest werden zu lassen. In diesem Quartal rüsten wir unsere Studenten zunächst mit dem Glauben aus, dass Gott sie gebrauchen und ihre Reich-Gottes-Träume wahr werden lassen will. Er ist auf der Suche nach großen Heiligen, die für ihn große Dinge in der Welt tun wollen. Ausgehend von dieser Realität werden wir unsere Studenten mit praktischen Werkzeugen und Fähigkeiten ausstatten, damit sie das Gelernte sowohl in bestehende Gemeinden und Gemeinschaften integrieren als auch die Weisheit und das Wissen erlangen können, das für den Aufbau und das Wachstum neuer und bestehender Apostolate oder Dienste erforderlich ist. Die Studenten werden auch lernen und sich inspirieren lassen von gegenwärtigen Leitern der Neuevangelisierung, die vor ihnen gekommen sind, um sie dazu zu bringen, von der Schule aus das Reich Gottes in ihrem Einflussbereich aufzubauen. ## live *zoom-*Unterricht Jede Woche nehmen Sie über eine kostenlose Videokonferenzplattform namens Zoom an Ihrem Live-Kurs teil.

Alexandra michal Alexandra ist die Leiterin des deutschen Online Campus von Encounter Ministries. Ihre große Sehnsucht nach mehr von Gott und seiner heiligen, transformierenden Gegenwart brachte sie dazu, nach mehr von Gott und seinem übernatürlichen Handeln an unterschiedlichen Orten zu suchen. Einige der besonders prägendsten Erfahrungen waren die Jüngerschaftsschule von YWAM sowie die Supernatural School of Ministry von Bethel und Global Awakening. Seitdem streckt sie sich nach Heilungen, Zeichen und Wunder in ihrem Leben aus und kann es nicht erwarten, diese als normalen Bestandteil in ihrer geliebten katholischen Kirche zu sehen. Ihre große Leidenschaft ist es zu sehen, wie Männer und Frauen ihre von Gott gegebene Schönheit, ihre königliche Würde und Berufung erkennen und darauf antworten. Alexandra ist promovierte Pädagogin, Geistliche Begleiterin und Coach. ## Lehrer ###### Die Kursleiter Die Kursleiter leiten alle Zoom-Kurse und werden pro Zeitfenster zugewiesen, so dass die Studenten für die meisten ihrer Zoom-Sitzungen denselben Kursleiter haben.

Fidèles aux enseignements et à la Tradition de l’Église catholique, nous offrons aux étudiants un programme de formation dynamique sur deux ans, conçu pour les faire grandir et les amener à un nouvel élan dans leur vie missionnaire. - **Former les disciples sur le long terme :** Notre mission est de former des disciples capables de réaliser des « œuvres plus grandes ». C’est le Seigneur lui-même qui a initié ce modèle de discipulat sur le long terme, puisqu’il a formé ses disciples pendant 3 années consécutives. - **Authentiquement catholique:** Nos enseignements s’enracinent dans l’Écriture, la tradition, le magistère de l’Église, les écrits des Pères de l’Église et la vie des saints. Notre programme a été rigoureusement examiné et approuvé par des théologiens et des évêques. **Scolarité** Notre campus satellite hybride offre à la fois la flexibilité des cours en vidéo que vous écoutez à votre rythme, et la force d’un apprentissage en présentiel, grâce à la soirée hebdomadaire de prière, exercices et échanges en petits groupes, sur le lieu du campus. Le campus de Versailles suit rigoureusement le même programme que tous les autres campus dans le monde. Les cours débutent début septembre et se terminent fin mai. ****Lieu**: [Salles paroissiales de Sainte Bernadette de Versailles, 7 rue Saint Nicolas, 78000 Versailles](https://maps.app.goo.gl/QLWJwoZEYk4P1ror9)** **Horaires de classe:** les mardis de la période scolaire de 20h15 à 22h15 **Date limite de candidature:** Oct. 1 **[Formation Flash sur 4 mardis soirs en juin](#summer):** **Frais de scolarité :** La scolarité dure 2 ans et compte 8 modules en tout (4 modules par an) - **règlement à l’année** : 700 $ soit 672 € l’année ou bien - **règlement par module :** 200 $ soit 193 € tous les deux mois.

Les temps de classe sont animés par le directeur de votre campus. **Exercices d’activation** Les dons du Saint-Esprit sont une part de notre héritage en Christ, dont le but est, entre autres, de nous équiper pour la mission. Les “activations” sont des exercices spirituels puissants qui nous aident à entrer dans la plénitude de notre identité en Christ et à amener le Ciel sur la terre. Toutes les sessions de cours comportent des “activations”, c’est-à-dire des temps pour rendre agissant et mettre en pratique ce que vous venez d’apprendre. Cela peut être un temps de prière silencieuse, pendant lequel on demande à Dieu de nous révéler quelque chose, un temps de prière avec des camarades, ou plus encore. Les étudiants peuvent s’attendre à une puissante transformation personnelle, des percées et même des miracles pendant ces temps d’activation. le programme ###### Première année Module 1 : Identité et transformation *Lecture supplémentaire : [Supernatural Saints ](https://www.amazon.com/Supernatural-Saints-School-Ministry/dp/B0BJ4RPFQW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13KG0BEMFNJ30&keywords=supernatural+saints+book+by+patrick+reis&qid=1688665970&sprefix=supernatural+saints%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-1)par Patrick Reis* ###### ***Description des cours*** ***Poser les bases de tout apostolat sur votre identité royale en tant que fils et filles de Dieu. Vivre une transformation par le renouvellement de l’esprit.*** Avant de recevoir un enseignement et une formation pour des apostolats spécifiques, les étudiants doivent d’abord connaître leur véritable identité et à qui ils appartiennent. Ce premier module se concentre sur l’identité royale que nous recevons en tant que fils et filles de Dieu, héritiers appelés à accomplir les œuvres de Jésus et même des œuvres plus grandes (Jn 14,12). Tout au long de ce module, les étudiants sont amenés à passer d’une mentalité fondée sur la performance, où leur valeur et leur identité sont définies par ce qu’ils font pour Dieu, à une identité où leur valeur repose uniquement sur leur statut de fils et filles de Dieu. Il s’agit d’un véritable renouvellement de l’esprit, pour passer d’une perspective terrestre à une perspective céleste dans tout ce que nous entreprenons. (Mt 16,23). À chaque cours, les étudiants approfondissent leur compréhension et leur expérience de leur identité en tant que temples du Saint-Esprit, se fortifient dans la nouvelle nature reçue de Jésus par le baptême, apprennent à vivre dans la puissance du Saint-Esprit et à exercer l’autorité reçue pour étendre le royaume de Dieu dans une vie de mission. Ils sont également invités à découvrir de nouvelles dimensions de l’amour de Dieu et à comprendre comment le Père nous voit en Jésus. Module 2 : Entendre la voix de Dieu et les dons prophétiques du Saint-Esprit *Lecture supplémentaire : Les dons spirituels : Guide pratique par Mary Healy et Randy Clark* ###### ***Description des cours*** Jésus nous a enseigné qu’il est le bon berger, que nous sommes ses brebis et que nous entendons sa voix (Jn 10,4). Dans la première partie de ce module, les étudiants découvriront que leur capacité à entendre la voix de Dieu découle de leur identité en Dieu et non de leurs actions pour lui. Ils apprendront à reconnaître le « langage du Saint-Esprit », qui s’exprime en nous et à travers nous, ainsi que le discernement nécessaire pour distinguer sa voix de la leur ou de celle de l’ennemi. Après avoir acquis une meilleure compréhension et confiance dans l’écoute de la voix de Dieu pour leur propre vie, les étudiants découvriront ce que signifie participer à la fonction prophétique du Christ (Lumen Gentium 12) et comment rechercher et développer les dons prophétiques du Saint-Esprit pour la mission. Comme l’Écriture nous enseigne de « désirer ardemment les dons spirituels, surtout le don de prophétie » (1Co 14,1), les étudiants comprendront que les dons prophétiques du Saint-Esprit consistent essentiellement à entendre la voix de Dieu pour le monde qui les entoure, dans le but d’édifier, d’encourager et de consoler les autres en Christ (1Co 14,3). Au cours de ce module, les étudiants bénéficieront de nombreuses occasions créatives d’exercer les dons prophétiques les uns avec les autres, tout en ayant l’opportunité de recevoir des retours sincères et de grandir, enracinés dans l’amour. Module 3 : Puissance et guérison *Lecture supplémentaire : Guérir, comment offrir au monde la miséricorde de Dieu par Mary Healy* ###### ***Description des cours*** Avant de donner l’Eucharistie ou même l’Esprit Saint à ses disciples, Jésus les a appelés à prêcher l’Évangile et attendait d’eux qu’ils guérissent les malades (Mt 10,7-8 ; Lc 10,9). Jésus n’a jamais proclamé l’Évangile sans confirmer son message par des manifestations de puissance, la guérison physique étant le signe le plus fréquent. Dans ce module, les étudiants découvriront une théologie de la guérison qui englobe le rôle de celle-ci dans l’évangélisation et la nécessité de pratiquer le ministère de guérison avec amour et compassion pour les malades. Ils apprendront également un modèle de prière de guérison non sacramentelle et auront de nombreuses occasions, dans un environnement sûr et empreint d’humilité, de participer à la prière de guérison, tant individuellement qu’en équipe. Les étudiants bénéficieront également de sessions sur le rôle de la foi dans le ministère de guérison, les paroles de connaissance pour la guérison, la puissance de la paix et la manière de surmonter le découragement lorsque la guérison ne se produit pas. Globalement, ils gagneront en assurance pour répondre à l’appel de Jésus qui dit que « tous ceux qui croient » peuvent être mis à contribution par Dieu pour apporter la guérison au monde qui les entoure (Mc 16,18). Module 4 : Guérison intérieure et liberté *Lecture supplémentaire : Be Healed par Bob Schuchts et Le ministère de délivrance par le Service International du Renouveau Charismatique Catholique* ###### ***Description des coursn*** ***Se former pour participer au ministère de Jésus qui « guérit ceux qui ont le cœur brisé et soigne leurs blessures ».*** Dieu s’est révélé comme le Seigneur qui « guérit ceux qui ont le cœur brisé et soigne leurs blessures » (Ps 146,3). Dans ce module, les étudiants seront formés pour s’engager dans le ministère de la guérison intérieure et de la liberté. Ils auront l’occasion de grandir dans le cœur et le désir de Dieu de voir la restauration de ceux qui sont blessés par la vie. Ils chercheront à développer des outils et des compétences pour collaborer avec le Saint-Esprit afin d’apporter la guérison du cœur. Les étudiants découvriront l’anatomie des blessures que nous rencontrons au cours de notre existence et apprendront à s’associer à Jésus pour aider les autres à trouver la liberté face aux mensonges, au manque de pardon, et aux désordres intérieurs causés par ces blessures. Jésus désire également que ses enfants soient délivrés de l’influence des esprits mauvais. Ce module enseignera comment guider les personnes vers une liberté plus profonde face aux attaques de l’ennemi et à vivre pleinement sous la protection de Dieu (Ps 91 ; Ep 6). ###### Deuxième année Module 5 : Intimité avec Dieu *Lecture supplémentaire : Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love par le Père Thomas Acklin et le Père Boniface Hicks* ###### ***Description des cours*** Après avoir consacré la majeure partie de leur temps à développer et à cultiver leurs dons et compétences pour le ministère, les étudiants doivent maintenant comprendre l’importance de nourrir une vie de prière plus profonde et plus mature, et reconnaître que tout ministère fécond prend racine dans l’intimité avec Dieu. Jésus est mort pour nous, non seulement pour que nous accédions au ciel, mais aussi pour que nous puissions vivre la même relation qu’il a eue avec le Père. Jésus nous a montré ce qu’est l’intimité avec le Père, une relation qui se vit à travers lui dans le Saint-Esprit. En s’appuyant sur la richesse de notre grande tradition spirituelle et sur les enseignements des docteurs spirituels de l’Église, les étudiants apprendront à approfondir leur intimité avec Dieu par l’Écriture, la prière méditative et l’oraison. Ils plongeront dans les trésors du Cantique des cantiques, apprendront à louer et à chercher le cœur de Dieu à travers l’exemple de David. Ils auront l’opportunité de grandir dans l’intercession, de s’exercer au discernement des esprits et de développer un mode de vie basé sur la pratique de la présence de Dieu en demeurant en Jésus. Module 6 : Formation avancée au ministère *Lecture supplémentaire : Renouvelle tes merveilles par Damian Stayne* ###### ***Description des cours*** ***Bénéficier de l’enseignement de leaders spécialisés dans chaque domaine du ministère abordé lors des quatre premiers modules, afin d’approfondir ses compétences et d’atteindre un niveau d’efficacité supérieur à celui de la première année.*** Dans le sixième module, nous explorerons des aspects plus avancés du ministère, non abordés en première année. Des leaders expérimentés dans chaque domaine clé du ministère partageront avec les étudiants des approches approfondies pour cultiver une plus grande fécondité et une foi renforcée. Module 7 : Évangéliser par la puissance du Saint-Esprit *Lecture supplémentaire : Do What Jesus Did par Robby Dawkins et A New Pentecost for The New Evangelization par Ralph Martin* ###### ***Description des cours*** ***Recevoir le cœur du Père pour les âmes perdues et acquérir la foi nécessaire pour prêcher l’Évangile. Collaborer avec le Saint-Esprit pour manifester la réalité et la vérité de ce message à travers la puissance que Dieu nous a confiée.*** Jusqu’à présent, tout le contenu enseigné aux étudiants se concentrait sur des pratiques réalisables à l’intérieur des quatre murs de l’Église. Or, dans ce module, les étudiants découvriront des moyens concrets de prêcher et de présenter l’Évangile à ceux qui ont besoin du salut, tout en renforçant leur foi pour manifester le royaume de Dieu à travers les dons du Saint-Esprit. Ils apprendront que l’évangélisation, accompagnée de manifestations de la puissance divine, fait partie de l’héritage de l’Église, un héritage remontant aux origines mêmes de celle-ci (1Co 2,3-5). En outre, ils seront introduits à la riche tradition catholique d’enseignement sur l’évangélisation et découvriront que l’Église existe avant tout pour porter la Bonne Nouvelle. Dans ce cadre, ils apprendront à présenter le cœur du message de l’Évangile et à inviter à y répondre de manière appropriée. Ils comprendront également combien le témoignage personnel est crucial pour susciter la foi en Jésus, et verront comment le partager avec impact. Enfin, ils exploreront les moyens de grandir dans la foi et dans l’audace pour évangéliser, tout en découvrant des approches concrètes pour intégrer les dons prophétiques et la guérison dans l’annonce de l’Évangile. Module 8 : Leadership et déploiement *Lecture supplémentaire : Décret sur l’apostolat des laïcs* ###### ***Description des cours*** ***Être préparé à retourner dans votre sphère d’influence pour voir vos rêves pour le royaume devenir réalité, en équipant les étudiants à devenir des leaders.*** Chaque membre de l’Église est appelé par Dieu à participer à la Grande Mission. Pour ce faire, Dieu a placé divers rêves et visions dans le cœur des fidèles afin de voir son royaume se manifester dans le monde. Dans ce module, nous aidons nos étudiants à développer d’abord la conviction que Dieu veut les mettre à contribution et voir leurs rêves pour le royaume se concrétiser. Il cherche de grands saints prêts à accomplir de grandes choses pour lui dans le monde. À partir de cette conviction, nous les doterons d’outils pratiques et de compétences pour intégrer ce qu’ils ont appris dans les paroisses et communautés existantes, ainsi que de la sagesse et des connaissances nécessaires pour lancer, bâtir et développer de nouveaux apostolats ou ministères, ainsi que renforcer ceux déjà en place. Les étudiants apprendront également des leaders actuels de la nouvelle évangélisation qui les ont précédés, s’inspirant de leurs parcours pour les aider à aller de l’avant et à édifier le royaume de Dieu dans leurs propres sphères d’influence. ###### **Aperçu** ***Écriture, Tradition, Pères de l’Église, Doctrine catholique.*** Avant d’être approuvé, notre programme d’études a fait l’objet d’une révision académique rigoureuse par une équipe de théologiens catholiques respectés. Au cours de l’année académique 2020-2021, Encounter Ministries s’est engagé dans une évaluation approfondie du contenu avec cette équipe afin de valider le programme de l’école. Chaque théologien a eu un accès complet au contenu enseigné à Encounter Ministries pour les trimestres qu’il avait choisis. Leur travail a non seulement permis de garantir que le programme est exempt d’erreurs morales et doctrinales, et profondément enraciné dans l’Écriture, l’enseignement officiel de l’Église et le témoignage des premiers Pères de l’Église, mais a également contribué à apporter une plus grande précision et clarté au programme afin de réduire les risques de confusion et d’assurer une parfaite continuité avec l’enseignement de l’Église. Approbations des évêques **La Louange** Nous reconnaissons, honorons et encourageons la pratique de la Messe comme la plus haute forme de louange ; cependant, notre temps de louange en classe a pour but d’augmenter notre perception de la présence de Dieu, et de nous positionner dans une attitude de réceptivité, d’abandon et de réponse à ce que Dieu est en train de faire. Les valeurs d’Encounter que sont la liberté et la joie, constituent notre réponse à la bonté de Dieu. Dans la culture de notre école, nous exprimons ceci par une louange avec une âme d’enfants. Tous les temps de classe commencent par un temps prolongé de louange qui nous permet de cultiver notre attention à la présence manifeste de Dieu et de célébrer tous ensemble Sa bonté. Chaque campus satellite développe sa propre équipe et son propre style de louange, tout en restant fidèle au modèle et aux valeurs fondamentales de l’ensemble des campus. **Crédits universitaires** *Mûrir dans sa foi* Partenariat avec[ ***l’Université et le Séminaire Holy Apostles***](https://holyapostles.edu/) dans le Connecticut Le diplôme de l’école Encounter est reconnu comme validant des crédits pour la licence ou le master à l’Université Holy Apostles. Ceci permet d’obtenir son diplôme plus rapidement, en réduisant les frais, tout en grandissant dans la capacité à répandre le Royaume ici-bas ! L’Université-Séminaire des Saints Apôtres propose une approche en ligne flexible, s’adressant à des personnes exerçant un ministère et recherchant des modules adaptés à leur appel et leur emploi du temps. les programmes \[ba\_flipbox front\_media\_type=”image” front\_img=”https://encounterschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/photo-Marie-2.jpg” front\_title=”Marie Donato” front\_description=”Directeur du campus” back\_media\_type=”none” back\_description=”Marie est mariée, mère de 12 enfants et grand-mère.

Avec des amis de sa paroisse, elle développe plusieurs groupes de prière et anime des temps forts spirituels. Par la formation Encounter, suivie de 2022 à 2024, elle approfondit avec passion la vie dans l’Esprit et plonge dans une dynamique missionnaire inédite pour elle. Désormais elle se sent armée pour proposer l’amour de Dieu en toute circonstances à ceux qui en ont soif, dans la rue, au supermarché, à l’école… Cette formation la conduit aussi à mettre en place un service de prière pour la guérison intérieure des personnes blessées.

They were married in 1995 and are blessed with seven children. Throughout their teenage, young adult and married years Martin and Donna have always been active in the Church with ministries focused on evangelisation. In 1988 Martin and Donna were ‘reborn in the Spirit’ (John 3:5) a transforming encounter of the love of God that super-charged their service to His Bride. Their faith journey has been supernaturally blessed with miracles, healings and providence from the accompaniment and intercession in particular of St Therese of Lisieux, Our Lady of Guadalupe, St Joseph and Pope St John Paul II. At World Youth Day 1991 Pope Saint John Paul II personally welcomed and commissioned Donna in the closing mass to receive and return with the ‘Light of Christ’ as the Australasian youth representative of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference. In 2018 Martin and Donna relocated their family to Brisbane Queensland, Australia, for reasons the Holy Spirit continues to unfold. In 2020 during COVID Martin was inspired to initiate a ‘virtual Pentecost Pilgrimage’ attracting international speakers and tens of thousands of pilgrims from ninety countries during that period of global lockdowns and isolation. Martin and Donna have a call on their lives for igniting the Asia-Pacific in the love of Christ and His Church with the launch of ESM Brisbane as a key ‘beach head’ for the Southern Hemisphere. Despite conventional wisdom, Martin and Donna launched an interntional award winning hospitality business during the height of the COVID pandemic. Donna is currently the Queensland Lead for ‘Alpha in the Catholic Context’. Martin has had an international business career, holds a bachelor degree, a Masters in Business Administration and is a board member of Divine Renovation Australia and New Zealand.

She had been experiencing ‘major pain’ in her right wrist and had been complaining to co-workers that day “I thought I had broken my wrist it was hurting that badly”. ###### “When (you) start(ed) words of knowledge, I thought ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if he mentioned ‘x’ first’. I kid you not, the first word (of knowledge) given was ‘female, right wrist injury, shooting pain’.” ###### On hearing the word of knowledge, Grace experienced immediate pain relief and on Sunday morning advised progressive improvement and she was 90% pain free. ###### **BROKEN BONES** ###### Glen planned on serving on a prayer team at our ESM event. Glen has had 10 years of pain when walking, as a result of a skateboarding injury. Glen seriously injured his left big toe and the outside bone of his foot. ###### On Saturday evening a word of knowledge was spoken “broken big toe, left foot” and “foot, broken bone”. On hearing the word of knowledge Glen experienced an immediate miraculous healing of both painful injuries, and is walking pain free for the first time in 10 years. (Glen did still serve on a prayer team😁) ###### **NEW MOBILITY** ###### John has no cartilage in his knees, and is also planning to have replacement of both knees, he uses a device to assist his walking. On Saturday evening a word of knowledge was spoken “Male, both knees, inside pain, left is worse”. John in faith claimed that word and began walking without assistance, within minutes he was joy filled and climbing up steps, which he has been unable to do for many years. ###### **KNEE INJURY** ###### Erica has lived with a painful knee injury, the injury occurred many years ago. During the speaking of words of knowledge Erica experienced an immediate ‘50% improvement’, later that evening she attended one of the prayer teams, her knee pain reduced to zero. Apply Now!

Here at Encounter, one way we value and treasure God is by worshiping him in song and music – free of a performance mentality with a child-like joy. As the [**Encounter School of Ministry** ](https://encounterschool.org/)equips us and helps us grow in the different giftings God has given us, our goal with Encounter Worship is to specifically help our Main Campus students and alumni operate more effectively in areas of worship and music. Stay Connected! instagram facebook opportunities #### **PRESCHOOL WORSHIP** Our worship ministry is a direct extension of the school, so the core of our worship happens before class for preschool worship. This is a time to prepare ourselves to receive during class, with worship being lead by students and alumni as an opportunity for leaders to grow and develop their gifting in worship. #### **COMMUNITY GATHERINGS** Worship is more than just the music and performing on a stage, so in an effort to be filled and worship in freedom, we hold weekly gatherings of worship with short teachings in an atmosphere of open heaven to freely give and receive from the Lord. These gatherings should never be an obligation or performance, but a time to rest and recharge. #### **TRANSFORMATION NIGHTS, CONFERENCES, & MORE!** Our worship also extends beyond the school through various events and opportunities that we host. Our worship teams help open and flood the room with the presence of heaven before any talk, testimony, or ministry begins. We also accompany and worship throughout events and ministry time to maintain the kingdom mindset. --- ### [Modules](https://encounterschool.org/modules/) **Published:** July 26, 2018 **Author:** **Content:** Modules ###### for Wireframe Kit > Selected Modules Quite a few of Divi’s Modules are included & styled in the 75+ Sections Wireframe Kit has to offer.

Designed and established from the heart of Encounter Ministries, this school draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to ***teach, equip, and activate*** disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence. In conformity with the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, we offer students a dynamic 2-year training program designed to take you to the next level in your ministry. campuses ###### a **special message** from peter herbeck ###### a **special message** from dr. mary healy ## long-term discipleship ###### **building trust** ***“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father.” – John 14:12*** It is our our mission to raise up disciples who are equipped to do “greater works,” and it was the Lord’s idea to use long-term discipleship for this training. Jesus spent three years with His disciples, teaching, training and walking with them. Changing your mindset and lifestyle takes time, and you’re not meant to do it alone. The Encounter School of Ministry offers long-term discipleship and practical tools so you can make the supernatural life of the Holy Spirit a natural part of your everyday life, just as Jesus intended. courses This school of ministry, rooted in the richness of the Catholic faith, will equip its participants as disciples with a wealth of theological and practical tools to deepen their identity and relationship with Christ, to live out the gifts of the Holy Spirit with boldness and joy, and to go forth and lead others to do the same. #### cardinal timothy dolan ###### archbishop of ny ## authentically catholic ###### **Traditional & Charismatic** We believe the cultural division experienced in the Church between the “traditional” and “charismatic” is never what God intended. However, we can acknowledge there has been great misunderstanding and overall lack of formation regarding the use and purpose of the Spiritual gifts in the Church. We draw our teachings from scripture, tradition, official Church teaching, the lives of the early Church Fathers and the lives of the saints. We are convinced the Lord ***always intended*** for his baptized children to demonstrate the Kingdom of God through ***signs and wonders***, just as He did – and we need these gifts now more than ever. Our curriculum has been reviewed by a team of theologians, as well as every bishop residing over each satellite campus. ***You do NOT have to be Catholic to apply for the school.*** Review Team “I never used to hear God’s voice (or trust it was God’s voice). Since starting the school I have had so many experiences of stepping out in faith, testing what I hear, and it being RIGHT! Then to see breakthrough happen! I now have confidence and excitement that God is speaking to me, and is with me when I share the Gospel and pray with people I meet.” – **ESM Student** ## learn to take risks ###### **step out in faith** If you have never prayed for healing, struggle to hear God’s voice, have fear of sharing the Gospel to those you meet, or are seeking to understand the Church’s teaching on the Spiritual gifts – we understand, and so do your classmates. The Encounter School of Ministry is a safe place to begin taking risks in faith, while offering easy, practical tools and models that make discovering and practicing your gifts simple. student testimonies *Although we understand that **signs, wonders and miracles** are not the whole Gospel, we are convinced that the Gospel is not whole without them.“* #### Fr.
