The 4Ekselans School of Ministry, an institute for the formation of Christian leaders, was launched in March 2013. We began the launch believing the Holy Spirit was going to produce a rich harvest of spiritual leaders for God’s glory and to advance the Kingdom of God. We have not been disappointed.
We prayed much that the Lord would send those of His choosing to be instructed and trained for effective ministry. Over 100 young men and women have studied with us in the School of Ministry. We trust they were chosen and sent by Him.
We have commissioned them to actively participate in the ministry of the Holy Spirit on the earth today. Whatever will be accomplished in and through them will only be done as His life flows in and through them.
In John 1:6, we read, "There was a man sent from God ... " The key to evangelism that results in making disciples of Jesus is that "man or woman sent from God."
God uses men and women for the fulfilling and perfecting of His eternal purposes. That man or woman should feel that he or she is a person of destiny: God-called, God-ordained, and God-sent. He is not to drift aimlessly, plagued with failure, but rather he is commissioned of God for a particular time, place and people. To properly realize God's call on their lives, they must have the revelation of Christ in them, and the Spirit of the Lord must form them.
The School is not a traditional theological seminary; therefore, we do not offer courses in systematic or historical theology, Greek, Hebrew, eschatology, hermeneutics, etc. Our focus is on preparation for five-fold ministry, missions and ministry leadership. However, it is a wonderful opportunity for the men and women called into ministry by the Spirit of God to study the Word of God together.
We are thankful for each one of our students. We have students of different educational levels, some already actively involved in ministry and others preparing to be. The primary requirement, however, for entry into the School is to be hungry to know God better through His Word and the revelations of His Spirit.
With this in mind, we entrust the truths and principles found in God's Word to reliable men and women who will also in turn be qualified to teach others. The classes are inspiring and designed for varying degrees of spiritual maturity.
We offer instruction from various personal ministry experiences acquired over 50 years. Now, graduates who excelled have become members of the teaching staff.
While we have many objectives, we consider these most important.
