Welcome
| “In the last days, God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.’” (Acts 2:17-18). | .. a crowd came together, each one heard .. in his own language, Parthians, Medes, Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt .. Libya .. visitors from Rome .. Jews .. Cretans, Arabs .. we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” (Acts 2:6ff). |
This is not a public forum. More than ninety-nine percent of our full-time work and training in corps happens offline and out in the world: in businesses, clinics, construction sites, government and non-government offices, in homes, hospitals, marketplaces, secular institutions, shelters, on streets, in off-radar mission locations in urban and real jungles, in violent venues dark, very dark, sometimes fatal. More than ninety-nine percent of our online communications here and across our parallel private fora for collaborating in practical missions are encrypted, hidden, password protected, and unavailable to the public because of mandatory – 1) anonymity, 2) legal and moral confidentiality, 3) privacy (HIPPA, GDPR) in our healthcare, counseling, and social service missions, 4) mandatory secure-direct communications (SDC) on encrypted offline servers because of violence, intrusions, and distractions against missions currently in progress, 5) protected by clergy-confidant privilege. The most important daily communication at the heart of our work and training is the most Secret and intimate communication on earth – daily prayer and listening in the Secret Place (Matthew 6:6 ) for hours is the heart of all our full-time practice and entwined into all our full-time outward service in the world. Ninety-nine percent of our daily prayers of listening and Answers in the Secret Place are never published online for public consumption. In all these ways added up, this is not a public forum.
We hope that our few public pages of thoughts and prayers inspire public readers who are considering full-time training and service sent out into the world (Matthew 28:19). We do not recruit online. We are not training for service in churches. We are training teams for full-time service through full-time prayer at levels of 40-80+ hour commitments each week in the venues listed above. We train highly advanced students, who already have 5-10 years of full-time service and full-time prayer out in the world with proven experience confirmed with verified fruit in hundreds of cases and missions (see Models ~ for Full Time Training). These full-time students want more advanced and rigorous training to work as corps in extreme cases (Matthew 17:21) and in maximum hard-test missions that demand team discipleship in high-skilled, long practiced, deep seasoned mature corps (Hebrews 5:14). Only Divine Appointments, and not human wisdom, creates these corps. Only the Holy Spirit matches full-time students with full-time trainers who have complimentary life-callings, trained multiple skill sets, grounded in charismatic graces and gifts, long integrated into seasoned vocations by full-time field experience, the right matches between students and trainers created by the Holy Spirit forging teams (Mark 3:14, Luke 6:13, Acts 13:4 and context). Only the Holy Spirit creates maturity in synergized, fluid, effective, relentless corps sent out into the world, overcoming tribulation (Joel chapter 2, especially v. 7-9). We come from a variety of backgrounds and vocations (see, bios). We work together in corps because of our common, shared, working definition of friends embedded in what Jesus said, “You are my friends if you do what I command” (John 15:14). This obedience is costly. “We have left everything to follow you!” (Mark 10:28). We have received Infinitely more back in return. Despite hostile circumstances that are sometimes fatal to individuals and corps. In answers daily to listening and receiving prayer, we experience awe, continual wonder, repeated joy, and ravishing Love – because, “the disciples were continually filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit” (Acts 13:52).
