Family Ministries School (FMS) - Spring 2011 |
|
|
 GOD CREATED FAMILY
Look around and try to find a person that is not connected with family in some way. You probably will not have any luck finding a person without connections. This is because the family unit is the foundational structure of every single person living on the Earth.
God created family. His original plan for families consists of covenant and commitment for life, but this was destroyed in the fall. Today, the Lord is still a loving Father. He wants to restore what has been lost, to bring us back to the joy of fellowship with Him and each other, and to remove the sin between us and wipe our tears away.
But who will tell the world?

FAMILY MINISTRY SCHOOL - A TOOL IN GOD’S
HANDS
The goal of the Family Ministry School is to train,
equip and release couples and singles to minister to families through a
personal transformation along with the ability to apply this
understanding in life and ministry.
 During the school
experienced speakers and teachers dig deep into the Word of God as the
students hide the heavenly family principles in their hearts and remove
the roots of sinful behavior in their relationships.

their hearts will burn with the fire of love and commitment that
overflows and brings joy to everyone around.

WHO CAN APPLY FOR THE SCHOOL?
Single, young married, those
with a small or a big family, lots of experience or none, and those
who’ve been divorced – anyone can apply. Each of these different
categories of people and their family background are important for
ministering to families in the Kingdom of God .
Because of the high demand
of this course priority will be given to people who have completed a DTS
with YWAM.
OUTREACH
After 3 months of intense
study the students break into teams and go and minister to people. This
time of practical outreach will give students experience in running
seminars, family camps and different programs - it is a great
opportunity to apply what they have learned in the classroom. The
students will have the support of their leaders and staff to inspire and
help them along the way.

WHAT DO OUR STUDENTS SAY?
 Family Ministry School has been like a second honeymoon - even though there were many tears, revelations and touch of God's hand.
The Lord had shown us His original plan for the family as a whole. He had shown us the mistakes we've made and how to fix them. Now our hearts are on fire to serve families and bring light into this sphere of society.
The School was dynamic, intense and very practical. We discovered more biblical truth's that we had never heard before. Now we are equipped with resources for ministry and we started using what we had learned soon after graduating. This School has become a starting point for us into a ministry not popular, at the time, in our country but so needed for every church and every society.
"Family Ministry became our life calling and we want to make God known in the sphere
of family." - Oleksandr and Alyona Yukhymchuk, FMS 2004, Kiev, Ukraine
