3. The Process of Becoming a Leader

Dates to be confirmed

Leaders Class is the process of becoming a leader: “True leadership is not about having followers, but about having a purpose.  A successful leader does not long to climb to a relevant position, but lowers himself to the level of service, because the highest calling in life is to become like Jesus.” – Apostle Guillermo Maldonado

Some of the topics to be covered are:

  • The identity and character of a leader
  • Understanding God’s love
  • Restoration of the fear of God
  • Authority and submission
  • Godly family
  • The purpose of faith
  • Introduction to the supernatural God, and many more

This third stage of the discipleship process will end with a half day retreat on a Saturday where you will be taught and ministered to on:

“I always read the bible. I made notes. Journalled. I volunteered in three different ministry teams, but somehow I managed to miss God because I didn’t believe. Since attending A New Beginning, I can speak to my heavenly father without fear. I’ve been healed and the spirit of oppression that once overshadowed my life has now fled!”

Dwayne

“Before I knelt at the feet of Christ I was a rebellious sinner, but since coming to Christ I can no longer sin intentionally without feeling appalled and compelled to repent. The discipleship pathway has induced a spiritual hunger in me that I was definitely in need of! I learnt about the supernatural power of God and how it relates to my life.”

Lowell

“Through discipleship, I learnt that if there is sin in my life, I am not hungry for God. Sin has eternal consequences. I realised that I needed to read God’s Word more to know Him more, and the discipleship classes helped with that.”

Sonya

“The depth of teaching in Leaders Class is off the charts! If you have been a Christian for a long time, if you feel comfortable in your faith and you think you know a lot, think again. What you think you know so well, will be turned on its head. It’s truly a journey worth taking.”

Kalleen

“At Family School I learnt that forgiveness must come from the heart. I chose to make forgiveness a lifestyle, and now I am a forgiving person because we were taught how to deal with resentment and anger. The joy, love and peace of forgiveness is amazing.”

Josephine

“The School of Mentors is amazing, it transforms lives. I learnt to be obedient and prayerful. I wake up early to intercede on behalf of my family. I have learnt to stand in the gap for my family and break the atmosphere of any hard situation. There is nothing too hard for God.”

Lydia

“School of Mentors taught us about prayer; how to move in the prophetic, and about miracles, signs and wonders. It was an amazing experience. I learnt about the spiritual authority that Jesus gave us. It’s a position that makes me limitless. It is not like the worldly authority of taking others down for power, but simply accepting Jesus as Lord and Saviour and stepping into that authority.”
