I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father John 14:12

Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. King David (Psalm 25:4-5)

14:12 Discipleship School

Welcome & Vision

John 14:12

We

are thrilled about all that God has in store for you this upcoming summer of 2012! Summer offers a unique time of growth, training, exploration and preparation for the future. Many students seek real world handson experience by working internships with businesses, serving at summer camps, going on mission trips, taking extra classes, or simply working a tough summer job. Getting valuable experience and training is incredibly important and necessary to building a satisfying, successful and enduring career in the future. However, have you thought about training for a satisfying, successful and enduring life in God? The Apostle Paul told young Timothy to train [himself] for godliness

for godliness is of value in every way, holding promise for the present life and also for the life to come. Being intentional in your younger years about training for a life of godliness and devotion to Christ is one of the wisest decisions youll ever make. Spiritual training will have an immeasurable eternal impact not only you, but also on your spouse, children, family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and even strangers youve yet to meet. For the summer of 2012, we want to invite you to journey with us through Beltways 14:12 School of Discipleship as we intentionally and passionately pursue Gods heart! 14:12 is a 10-week summer school of discipleship embedded in the context of our local church designed to disciple and

14:12 School of Discipleship is an all-encompassing experience that will leave you encouraged, challenged, and equipped for the days ahead. I know of MANY programs that focus on education, many that focus on experience, and others that aim to aid the church. But I have known few that bring all these elements together allowing the student to grow in knowledge, personal depth and discipleship, while done in the context of living life in the church body. Truly 14:12 is a total discipleship experience that is done through relationship in the church without sacricing a commitment to excellence in studies.

The past couple of years we have seen students come into new realities of freedom, devotion, and purpose in their lives as they invested their summer to pursue Jesus through worship, prayer, Biblical instruction, practical application of kingdom values and disciplines, and training in character to name a few. We believe God has great things in store for your life this summer! So we invite you to consider joining us this

summer of 2012 in a pursuit after the person of Jesus Christ! For the King,

As followers of Jesus, our greatest joy is Jesus. He allows us the privilege to join Him in what He is doing in the world. Beltways 14:12 school is a unique opportunity to be equipped to do just this. Ive been pleased to be a part of this school the past two years, and Ive witnessed God doing a powerful work in the hearts and lives of young men and women - most often things quite unexpected and very wonderful. The time spent in this school is intense training for godliness which has value for both the present life and the life to come. I cant think of many more protable ways to spend a summer!

the 14:12 Life

eMploYMent
15 - 20 hours per week Each student is expected to get and maintain a part-time job during the summer. This gives each student valuable opportunities to put into practice things they are learning in an everyday real world environment plus provide for their basic needs.

coMMunitY standards
The Scriptures give us freedom/grace in many of these areas. However, in order to maintain a unified, rich environment and atmosphere that will provide the best opportunity for us to experience the fullness of what God has for us personally and corporately during 14:12, we feel it is important and wise that we set a community focus and standard in the following areas:
Dating We ask that students not begin new dating relationships during 14:12 Media Abstain from media that dishonors God or distracts you from receiving all that God has for you in this season Alcohol/Tobacco Abstain from partaking through the duration of 14:12

If you are looking to fall in love with Jesus, the word of God, and want to learn how to give it away to the world around you then this is the school for you. This is not a school full of uff but an 8 week intensive designed to prepare and release young people to walk in greater levels of freedom, authority and the power of the Holy Spirit. I am excited about 2012 and watching God set young people on re!

Mission Trip

John 14:12

actiVation Mission trip

A huge part of 14:12 is the Activation Mission Trip where students get the opportunity to immediately put into practice, live-out, and see first hand many of the things learned throughout the course of the school. Students will choose from two different trips: Overseas Outreach or U.S. Outreach.
Approximate Dates: July 16th30th Approximate Cost: $3,000 (Overseas) or $600 (U.S.)* * Location of Trips: Trip locations will be disclosed to students upon being accepted into 14:12. Due to the rigorous & challenging demands of 14:12 and the Activation Mission Trips, it is best for students to commit to doing 14:12 out of desire to seek God, grow as disciples of Jesus, and make disciples of Jesus, not because of any glamorous trip destination.

All trip costs must be paid before you can go on the trip.

Support Raising: Students will be responsible for raising their own support. Donations made by family and friends are tax deductible. Details: More details regarding payment dates, travel info, documents, etc. for this trip will be available for students after applications are received.

From my experience teaching at 14:12, these guys and gals are hungry for the Lord - hungry for His presence, hungry for His Word, hungry for the power of the Holy Spirit to work and move within our community and beyond. This is the place to signicantly grow in a short time, to be radically changed. These students are future pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders who embody a passion for the Kingdom of God!

When beliefs become actions, lives are changed. The students in the school submitted themselves to becoming doers of the Word. It was costly and sacricial giving. I watched as willing students became disciplined, diligent servants hungering and thirsting to receive godly instruction that equip them to be used as living vessels to reach the broken-hearted, hurting and unsaved lives with the love of Christ. The school fostered a genuine community among the students as they experienced spiritual growth. I was encouraged, challenged and blessed by the devotion and courage of the students.
