Missionary Heros!


David had his heroes. Warriors that achieved great things; they did more than what was expected, or demanded of them. They did not look over their shoulders all worried, but had their eyes fixed on the goal and ran right into the enemy-army without fear.

I am dreaming of forming a new generation of missionaries to the unreached people groups just like this! The youth of today are dreaming of living with a higher purpose than just themselves! They want to live lives that have an impact and will be written about. They want to drink adrenaline for breakfast, travel where no one has ever been, do what no one has ever done and see what no one has ever seen.
We still have more than 6,500 unreached people groups on this earth. They live in Kathmandu  New York, Stockholm, Mumbai, Dar es Salaam and Beirut. It is time for training, mobilization and to send out!

I am so charged here at my office in Modesto! Just one month from now, we are starting a new missionary-training education that will form heroes. Not by persuasive words or human wisdom, but full of the power that comes from the gospel! We don't look down upon academic knowledge and will fill each and every one with just that. But we will focus EVEN MORE on the relationship with the Holy Spirit, the power of the name of Jesus, the adventure of prayer, to build an inner life by fasting and praying, to never give up, and to fulfill our calling with focus on the goal!

The academic education will be that of four years. There, the students will learn everything from "Heremeneutics", "Introduction to Pscychology", and "Bible Doctrine I, II, III and IV" to "Spiritual Warfare", "The Major Religions of the World" and "Foundations for Ministry I, II and III". They will graduate with the hat on their head and a Bachelor of Theological Studies in their hands.

The first two years they will do an Intership as well. That is what I am building, planning and will soon lead. I will there pray with the students three mornings a week, we'll do outreaches every week, there we will read about Bonnke, Annacondia, Amritzer and Bevere. There we will study unreached people groups, Eschatology and Intergrity. There we will visit Hindu temples, Mosques, Synagouges and museums. And there we will go on festivals with Mission SOS to an unreached people group!

There the students will learn how to cast out evil spirits, to pray for the sick, to lead people to salvation and baptism in the Holy Spirit. There the students will see the importance of an inner life, learn how to serve, learn to honor, to pray and there the passion for the lost will be found again!

In four years the first heroes will be ready! After that the countdown starts; 6,499 unreached people groups left; 6,341; 5,765; 1,321; 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5...

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and THEN the end will come...
- Jesus
