Eagle-Lion Institute
The Transformation ChurchIt is harvest time; it is time to be “transforming our region(s) by forming teams of Eagle-Lion Christians to preach Jesus in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit to restore individuals, families, and communities.” God has much in His heart for you as a part of Jesus’ church. This involves the process of restoring and revealing Jesus in you. Is this what you want? It is important to develop and have an equipping ministry in your church! This is the ministry of spiritual fathers and mothers developing their Timothy(s) just as the Apostle Paul did. You can be one of the thousand Eagle-Lion style Equipping Schools. We can support you through curriculum, models of equipping, and through recognized translocal faculty. We are affiliated with The Wagner Leadership Institute including active membership in the Apostolic Council for Education Accountability (ACEA). Let us see what the Doctor recommends - from a Ministries Today interview (July/ August 2000) with Dr. C. Peter Wagner, Chancellor of The Wagner Leadership Institute and President of the Apostolic Council for Educational Accountability (ACEA): “The major change (in the education models for today) is that the incubator for new leaders is now the congregation rather than the educational institutions. Because apostolic leaders believe in the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry, they do their best to allow- not only allow but almost require - all their church members to discover their spiritual gifts and be in some kind of ministry in the congregation. As this happens, cream rises to the top, and the leaders become apparent. The pastor has his or her eye on this. Then most apostolic churches are going for what we call homegrown leaders. When leaders rise in the church like this (because of their spiritual gifts, the calling and the anointing they have) they (the pastors) want to bring them on staff. Well, there is no time. These people are often in mid-life. They have a mortgage on their homes. They have their kids in school. They have all kinds of involvement in the community. Even though they are in secular work and will gladly leave it, there is no way they can go to a Bible school or seminary and train for three years and then come back and be on staff. They need to go right on, which they do. So the ordination no longer depends on academic attainment. Ordination depends on spiritual gifting. The church will ordain these people. Now the question is, how are they going to be trained? This is one of the major things that has precipitated such a radical change in the paradigm of training Christian ministers in the New Apostolic Reformation as opposed to how it was done in the past. This brings up the issue of wineskins. Both denominations and traditional educational institutions are old wineskins. People who understand biblical culture of the first century in terms of wineskins know the preferable place for new wine is in new wineskins. But some old wineskins can be refurbished, and some old wineskins can develop into the place where they can handle the new wine.” Dr. Wagner is the author of two books relating to the New Apostolic Reformation Churches (NARC) called “Churchquake!” and “The New Apostolic Churches.” Bishop Hamon has written a major book called “Apostles, Prophets and the Coming Moves of God.” These books are a part of our curriculum. To get started in the Eagle-Lion Institute as an equipping school in your church, see Chapter Twelve for a copy of the application in this manual. To do individual study, contact Eagle Christian College or one of the existing Eagle-Lion Institute equipping schools.
