Eagle Spiritual Training Centre (ESTC): ESTC’s motto is –“Equip the believers/saints to multiply their kind”. ESTC endeavours to organise short duration training programmes, seminars, topical studies to transfer the knowledge of Bible-truths with a focus on building and strengthening Christian character and commitment.
The Bible has warned that, in the end-times, many false prophets would appear to deceive even the elect (Matthew 24:24), in the guise of denomination, doctrine, charisma and the like. It is very important for believers to be deeply rooted in the Bible-truths, lest they can easily be deceived by various kinds of imitations/counterfeits.
Religious language, objects and services can fool them into imagining that they are experiencing a first-hand relationship with God, when in reality they are simply going through empty routines.
Graduates of ESTC are encouraged to do outreach work for soul winning and church-planting.
Pastors’ Training: We have a burden to train young people for full-time Pastoral Ministry. A small number of young people interested in Pastoral Ministry (about six per batch) will be selected to stay with Dr. Branham in the Shalom Cathedral Compound for one year. They learn by observation, informal teaching, topical studies, participating in Shalom Cathedral activities and by apprenticeship. Brother Branham will deal with their strengths and weaknesses to equip them for a committed Pastoral Ministry.
After this one-year’s training on the lines of “Gurukul” (Teacher-Disciple Method), they will be sent to needy villages to plant a church and minister in a few villages. It is our desire to support such workers so that they can serve the Lord faithfully. We need support for six such trainees @ US$30 per month per trainee.
Shalom Centre for Social Development (SCSD): Jesus Christ has taught us that - Life is more than food and the body more than clothing. We firmly believe that “Fullness of Life” and “Fulfillment in Life” can be found only through a personal faith in Jesus Christ. But we also believe that-if we are to follow the teaching and example of the Lord Jesus Christ, we must share His love and concern to “feed the hungry, clothe the nake, house the homeless and heal the sick”. Poverty, ignorance and sickness forge some of the shackles to the spirit of man. We believe that-people are neither soul-less stomachs nor stomach-less souls.
SCSD is, therefore, committed to ministering to people’s physical, material, mental and emotional requirements as well as their spiritual needs following the example of the Saviour Jesus Christ. SCSD undertakes projects of Child Care, Health, Education and Community Development. |
