V IS ION & MISSION STATEMENT

Share your harvest experience in life and truth you have suffered for, versus untried theory. “Generous Listening equals generous performance” Yvette Brandt. Try to link with what someone has said before – seamless meetings like the robe of Christ! Keep the flow of the Holy Spirit in every session. The Spirit of a prophet is subject to the prophet – 1 Corinthians 14:32

Allow God to make the divine connections to spread this move of God’s Spirit across the world.Participate in discussions and in worship, dancing, acting prophecy as well as the Fun evening and let the Great Harvest continue!

Grace and Peace and Enjoy the Great Harvest Conference!Harvester International Ministries Staff.Contact: [email protected]

PROTOCOLS for GHC:

Meditate about the Great Command to Love and the Great Commission to Go and make disciples. Mat 28:19

Value inward realities higher than outward impressiveness. Honour Jesus as the Apostle and High Priest of the Great Harvest of the Eternal Church. Heb. 7:25Explore new spiritual territories & fields of revelation. Line up all statements with the plumb line of God’s Word.Each session is progressive revelation and build towards a “summit” of perspective on the Great Harvest.

See the Genius of God revealed in His Body the Eternal Church, as we combine to bring in the great harvest!Regard others higher than self. Philippians 2.At meal times, sit and talk with someone you don’t see often.Take a sincere interest in ordinary people and discover the extraordinary harvest!

1. Define Age GroupsAs I have grown through the past 10 years, we have divided the age groups into the fol-lowing age groups. 3-5 year olds as Preschoolers: These we teach once a month and a parent sits in with the child. We keep it very simple to one scrip-ture, one story and one activity. This age re-sponds well to sock puppetry, storytelling and learning through play. Songs that are simple, short but Word based need to be sung with enthusiasm and movements. We also add ac-tivities that educate like puzzle building, clay playing and drawing.Ages 6 – 9 meet weekly during school terms. These are Primary school kids who can work through more material, more activities and create and alongside the teacher. We go into little more depth but keep the lessons to 4-5 points. We also include an icebreaker activity right in the beginning which can be a constructive game, acting out a scripture or a demonstration. After the lesson another activ-ity follows where they either craft something, or have a competition of some sort. This age group needs volunteers the bigger the group gets.Then we have our Preteens who meet also once a month and need more mature stimula-tion from ages 10-13. We find this age group feels too mature for the children’s group, yet too young for the youth groups. That is why we draw them separately monthly. They form a strong core in this way so that by the time they reach high school they have strong rela-tions to the church and start to function imme-

diately. We place emphasis here on personal discipleship, bible reading and foundations of their faith.From 14 years we consider them adequate to sit in church and take notes. There are youth cell and general youth get together where we include the Preteens and the Youth. These groups work through MBC Bible subjects or work through the sermons of the apostle. They run pretty much like a regular House-hold meeting containing wor-ship, testimonies, offering, sermon, ministry and development in functioning in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

2. Activities Reinforce Scripture For Sunday School (Ages 6-9) we begin with an ice breaker activity, the lesson, and the demonstration or craft or game that reinforces the scripture or the concept.

3. Use the Life of ChristWe have been working through the Bible since the beginning. The Life of Christ Manu-

al was worked through twice, as well as the book of Acts and the epistles. As lately we worked through Proverbs and Psalms and are now busy with the book of Isaiah. We focus however on sermons based in these books and MBC courses. So for Isaiah we

have done the pictures of Christ in Isaiah and are now looking at the pictures of the church in Isaiah.

4. Resources are AvailableTogether with my team of volun-teers and MBC students we capture every lesson plan elec-tronically. We have managed to produce “Christ in the Psalms”

and “Ware aanbidders” (Worshipers of Spirit & truth”). We are always busy with new and upgraded versions of these as well adding as we teach through the year. To have access to these the best way presently is to contact me via email.5. Write Catchy SongsWe use the lesson material to write catchy simple songs about the principal or scrip-ture reference. This proves to be much fun! We also work through the Hebrew & Greek

praise words and let the kids act it out with one of our Worship songs.

6. Get Students InvolvedMost of our helpers are MBC full time stu-dents who are required to service the chil-dren’s church for two consecutive weeks in their student house. They are part of the preparation of the lessons too under the su-pervision of the teacher on duty that week. As for volunteers in the church, we normally ask that they slot in with one of the student houses. In this way they get to still attend church ser-vices on a regular basis. The key to running a children’s ministry is delegation under super-vision. Without the team , people will “burn out” and lose interest.For churches starting out I would suggest the following:• Identify your main age group. If it is really a big mix of ages, you might need to prepare the lesson activities to your ages rep-resented. • Make use of our material as a spring-board. Knowing that we follow the MBC curriculum, just like the household leaders would use the sermon of the past Sunday, it is important to stay in frequency with the part of Body of Christ you are a part of. Then add relevant materials and stories that would identify better for your children.• Keep it simple!! We are not there to entertain kids only to keep them happy. We are simply there to enforce the discipleship parents should be giving the children at home. We are also not babysitters! If the child is

unruly and doesn’t want to comply and is disruptive, ask the parent to sit in the sessions so that they can receive correc-tion from the parents directly and that the parent can enforce the lesson being learnt.• Share with us if you have any songs, crafts or activities you want to add to our lessons.

“The key to running a chil-dren’s ministry is delegation under supervision.”

The three keys for living a fulfilled life for Jesus can be found in the prophecy that drew MBC founder Andre Pelser to Miracle Valley Bible College in the early 1970’s. “For here I shall walk with them and talk with them as with the apostles in days gone by. Here as they wait before me, they shall know the land where unto I have called them and the work which I have called them to do. From here they shall go to the ends of the earth to preach My Gospel with signs and wonders.” We earth this Prophecy for MBC Stu-dents today!Walk and Talk with God.Know the Work He has called you to do.Know where He has sent you.

Walk and Talk with GodTraining all believers to hear from God with an open Bible has been an inspirational journey as former students con-firm:MBC has also hugely equipped me to handle various situa-tions in my life differently and to plan, manage and live my life according to God’s purpose for my life, instead of my own. Taylor VincentIn 2007 I prayed to God, “I want to know You Lord more, and I want to meet people who worship you in Spirit and in truth, and people who talk about You and walk according to Your will.” At that time I was still in Zimbabwe; I did not know that God had a plan for me. Jesus opened up a door for me to come to MBC. Today I say, “Thank You Jesus!!” Charity Chataira

He has renewed my hope, my peace, my joy, my mind; the Word of God has become more real and practical to me. I have received help, deliverance and direction, helping me to overcome hindrances in my life, and to live with courage and victory. Michelle LouwAnd my mind has become renewed now to know the Word of God and live according to it, and always to know His grace and mercy is with me. Kisose-DodyMBC was a life-changing moment for me as it brought a new perspective to me, a clear understanding of the Word. Joseph Nyamakanga

Students at he Full Time facility benefit from the input of 3 Apostles, 2 prophets, Teachers and Pastors based in Har-vester Headquarters, Cape Town. When it comes to find-ing the work that God has called you to do, apostles and prophets help Christians to find their function in the Body of Christ. The experience and perspective that MBC students receive enables them to see the hope of their calling.

Know the Work God has called you to doMany Christians are so busy with activities of church, that it actually is dead works. It takes a renewal of the mind and a placing of oneself on the altar as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. This will position believers to prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God for their lives.But the next step to fulfilling that function has to do with a sane estimation of faith. Because of the proliferation of in-formation regarding ministries on the Internet, there is often an insane estimation of the believer’s individual faith. There is a carnality that sets in with regards to comparison and competition versus godliness with contentment in the area of function. Spiritual ambition can be destructive when a per-son is moving outside of their “metron” or measure of faith and their faith can be shipwrecked as a result.

When Believers spend time with the Word, they renew their minds to the point of thinking soberly about themselves and the work of God. There is a relaying of a proper foundation in their minds as well as their spirits. Elbert Willis gave us his teachings on conquest of the mind that we have incorporat-ed into the course – a vital subject that students work through in line with Submission and the essential Foundation Course. Where these fundamental subjects are lacking, students will fall short of the desired outcome of the Bible College to fully equip believers for life and ministry.Miracle Bible College has the option for student to start a Bible Cell in their church once they have been trained, en-suring that the cycle of discipleship contin-ues. A key for this move of God is establish-ing a Bible College with the Church plant. Both working together ensure the complete training of believers. Here knowledge does not have the chance to puff up, because the knowledge has to be implemented in a church environment prayerfully. It is a hum-bling experience to take what you learnt in class and then try it out on a stubborn church member who is not impressed with your learning as much as the fruit you show over time. Respect breeds respect. The best thing a student can do is teach the children’s church and see if the concepts learnt are clear enough for them to explain to chil-dren who are honest about their feelings!

Know where He has Sent YouFunctioning a local church while studying at Miracle Bible College Satellites worldwide is an absolute standard that should be followed. Recent dashboard analyses of Global Harvester Churches reveal that more than half of the Har-vester Churches in the network still need to establish a Mira-cle Bible College with regular teaching. The resources have been sent but pastors still need to see the value of a full time

facility or even part time cells in their local church set ups. This will take time and we have seen this could take several years to implement. It remains therefore that a lot of follow up work is needed by existing Harvester Church where Miracle Bible College is part of the package, to adopt new nations where fledgling churches are struggling to implement Bible College. In the next 2 years we hope to bring that percentage up to 80%, bearing in mind that language barriers exist. A realistic goal might be to release a Fundamentals MBC Package includ-ing Foundation Course, Submission, Apostolic Perspective, and Life of Christ Summarized Version to the new Churches

for implementation. It seems that the vast resources available leave most new church leaders feeling lost in space not knowing where to start. So the students that are grad-uating from the Full Time facilities and part time cells have a mandate to help spread this move of God, getting Bible Colleges established in local churches wherever they go! Your treasure is where your heart is –

so if you find out where you heart is in the world, you will find treasure there! Another principle we live by in ministry as a family is believing that we are in the right place at the right time, with the right people. This single-mindedness has helped us to focus wherever God has sent us and to estab-lish numerous churches and Bible Colleges over the years. The fruit of MBC training is evident in many church plants with Bible Colleges around the world. We can only give glory to God for confirming and multiplying His Word and allowing us to share the Life of Christ with another genera-tion of reformers who are conforming to the image of God’s Son!Contact [email protected] for the MBC Satellite Agreement Form to start a Bible College or Cell in your re-gion this year!
