“Training Them Up & Sending Them Out”

The Lord spoke to Pastor Winston some years ago and said “train and send them out,” and for more than a decade the Living Word Bible Training Center has faithfully fulfilled this mandate.   Today, the Training Center equips and prepares thousands of Christians annually to perform the work of the ministry.   The center has two primary components:  The School of Ministry and Missions & Bible Training Classes. 

The School of Ministry & Missions is a nine-month ministerial training program for those called to or currently serving in one of the five fold-ministry offices as outlined in Ephesians 4:11-12.  The Ministry School trains ministers and missionaries to use their faith to build supernatural, excellent ministries – ministries like Living Word Christian Center and those in the New Testament, which are characterized by explosive growth and full of signs and wonders. 

Both established ministers, and those just beginning to pursue their ministry call, have chosen to attend this school because they knew the Lord was calling them to something more.   Through this program, students learn how to operate Kingdom principles, break through natural limitations, and take their faith walk to the next level.  Leadership, vision, church planting, prayer, faith, and signs and wonders are just a few of the subjects covered during our nine-month program.

Bible Training Classes are offered each quarter to train, disciple and empower Believers to live victoriously in every area of their lives. Classes are currently offered in Forest Park and South Holland and cover a variety of topics including; The Books of the Bible, Increasing your Effectiveness in Prayer, Discovering your Gifts & Purpose, How to Heal the Sick, How to Receive from God, Effective Leadership, and How to Study the Bible.  Every quarter testimonials of healing, deliverance and transformation abound as students commit themselves to these eight and ten week Bible studies.
