Company of Overcomers
During the summer of 2005, we began to recognise the need for a deeper level of training and equipping, than was readily available in the average conference or church meeting. We recognised there was a group of people who wanted to further and deeper into the prophetic and the supernatural areas in particular.
The vision for a School of the Prophetic & Supernatural emerged, where people could apply to come be part of the School, have their minister approve this, and then we'd hold classes at different times of the year with different teachers. In the evenings the meetings would be open to anyone to attend. There would be one speaker for all three days allowing them to teach, equip and release people into new levels of the Christian faith.
During the first weekend (which was open to all) the vision and the title was changed - in the first session!! It became the School of the Overcomers - Revelation 3 "to he who overcomes I give the right to sit on my throne and rule and reign with me".
There are three different levels now to the Overcomers:-
Overcomer Conferences - which is what we have been holding up to this point which are open to anyone to attend. They have been extremely popular and are growing in size. Our first meeting had 80 people come - our recent Sunday evening meeting had 480 come!!
You can find more details about the conferences we have planned here
School of the Overcomers - we are starting this in 2008/2009 and will move to being on a first Friday night and all day Saturday in each month. Four sessions with leading speakers, teaching at an advanced level to take us all on further in our destiny.
Our hope is that people will come from across the UK and Europe to these sessions, but also that we will be able to web-cast the meetings so those people overseas who cannot attend because of the cost and distance involved.
We'll be publishing more information on the School structure, requirements and schedule over the coming months. It will be possible to apply on-line as well as paying the tuition fees for each session.
Company of Overcomers - we expect the Company to be a core group from within the School. We expect it to emerge over time and have no idea how or what the Company will look like, other than we believe it will be international in it's make up.
The majority of the teaching to this point has been on the prophetic, supernatural, glory of God and revelatory realm. But we recognise the need for both a "balanced diet" and that many of us have to deal with issues/wounds of the past in order to come into freedom ourselves. So we also include speakers on a wider range of topics and focus.
