Discipleship, Jesus' way

Putting it in layman terms, this is the training every minister wishes they learnt in Bible College!

Be prepared for God to put you on your assignment! This is the disciple's life - to be His chosen with a job to do!

 

Isaiah 50:4-5
The Lord, the Eternal, equipped me for this job [DISCIPLE] - with skilled speech, a smooth tongue for instruction. I can find the words that comfort and soothe the downtrodden, tired, and despairing. And I know when to use them. Each morning, it is God who wakes me and tells me what I should do, and what should say. The Lord, the Eternal, has helped me to listen, and to do as He says. i have not been rebellious or run away from God's work.

So what do you require to be able to do your assignment?

To know the Word is to know what to do in situations and circumstances. Without the Word we are the blind leading the blind into ditches (Matthew 15:14).

The disciples were drawn to Jesus.

He was the real deal. He was different because He operated in power. His words changed them.

As disciples, they lived with Him and learned from Him and later they became His sent ones as apostles. ​Practical and life empowering through ministry gifts and training. Activating ministry experience through missions and team assignments, just as Jesus did.

​This is discipleship.

​"Disciples become ministers; this is lives not wasted. Don't limit God - study to show yourself approved."
​~ Bishop Barry Cunnington

What is different about this Bible college?

Firstly, we don't call ourselves a Bible College. Jesus didn't hand select His disciples to tell them to go off to study then find Him again when they had their papers. No! He told them to follow Him! This is the model for Discipleship Training. ​

Then fourth, yes, we have the national curriculum framework. This gives certification by Australian standards. Upon completion you will be recognised by entities as having received formal training in the relevant Certificate. This also attracts Austudy, Abstudy and Youth Allowance for eligible students. ​

The Promise Faith Academy Discipleship C.R.E.W. Training College contains so much more than the standard curriculum!

​With 20 years of missions ministry seeing ten's of thousands of salvations along with training Ministers on-the-road across Australia and planting various Churches across cultures and overseeing (leading/teaching) hundreds of Pastors, this Ministry has a strong grace on equipping, missions, evangelism, healing, preaching, teaching and training Ministers for the work of the Ministry. 

There really is no other Bible College like the Tent of Promise Discipleship C.R.E.W. Training College.

Secondly, the Disciples became Ministers of the Gospel.

The 12 started out learning, listening, watching Jesus. Growing in Foundation and learning who He was. After this time He gave them power and authority and started to send them out as His disciples grew to 72, with the 12 leading the disciples. By the third year the 12 Disciples were trained in the ways that Jesus worked. They knew their Teacher. They knew the power and authority and they knew their work. The 72 lead the way for His disciples to grow to 120.

After the death and resurrection of Jesus and the following baptism in the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the disciples became the Apostles - the sent ones. They were now ready for their assignments! They preached, taught, declared and demonstrated the power of the Gospel to the world!

This is discipleship the way Jesus does it. The disciples learnt by doing the work with Jesus! ​This is the making of Ministers.

This College is the result of an affiliation with Vision College (ASQA). We offer a carefully selected mixture of content from our teaching from many years in Ministry, from Vision and from a variety of teaching ministries that covers theology and doctrine to gird your foundations, with a strong focus on practical Ministry. 
We are authorised to conduct education and training in cooperation with Distance Education outreach programs and do not issue transcripts,
certificates, diplomas, or degrees in our own name or on behalf of the Vision Christian College.

Third, we know you have a call and a purpose and a contribution to make to the Kingdom of God in the here and now. God has given you a vision. He has set your heart burning but you may not yet know what you are to do, how you are to do it or when you are to start. You may be ready and willing but unsure how, or you may be fully connected with what you know you are to do but not yet have the tools. THIS COLLEGE IS FOR YOU! Our goal is to help you identify your call. To connect you to that purpose. To equip you to fulfill it. Then to release you as a Minister to all the four corners of the earth.

The Promise Faith Academy Discipleship C.R.E.W. Training College is the culmination of:

1. Over 20 years of 'doing the work'
2. The national curriculum framework
3. Plus tons of additional content from Bishop Barry Cunnington & many reputable Ministries with the evidence of fruit from across the globe (approximately doubles the course learning material - full list below of all additional subjects included at no extra cost)
4. And... a whole lot of practical missions and ministering training!

What is the Discipleship C.R.E.W. about?

Now you understand why we don't call ourselves a Bible College. So why do we call ourselves the Discipleship C.R.E.W.? 

A crew is 'a group of people who work closely together'. Our Discipleship C.R.E.W. are working together - they have a purpose, an assignment, and are actively engaging in it to go somewhere. The archaic definition of the word crew actually means 'a band or force of armed men' ie. we're God's soldiers in training.

We are Discipled Christians, Ready, Equipped and Willing (C.R.E.W.)!

Welcome to the Discipleship C.R.E.W. and get on board as we are going places on assignment!
