 Purpose:
This school has a dual purpose. First, it is designed to provide advanced training to those who are interested in ministering to others. The second purpose is to provide an opportunity to receive personal ministry. Many people are unable to attend one of our seminars and this school provides them that opportunity.
Description:
The Wellspring School of Ministry is two weeks of thorough study and practical application designed to meet the needs for additional ministry and for advanced training in ministering to others.
The first week consists of 40 hours of comprehensive classroom instruction and group ministry. Wellspring staff members and guest speakers will provide instruction. During the second week you will begin to apply what you learned in the first week in actual ministry settings. Students will observe Wellspring staff ministers in actual ministry sessions. Then you will minister to another and also be ministered to, in a one-on-one setting under the direction of a Wellspring staff member.
Upon completion of the school, all students will be given a certificate of attendance. We also offer an affiliation agreement with Wellspring that authorizes the use of our name. Wellspring Ministries of Alaska reserves the right not to enter into this agreement without reason or explanation.
Enrollment is limited and on a first come, first serve basis. Registering early will ensure your place in the school of ministry.

“My “uptight” got un-wound and relaxed! The 4 Ibuprofen I needed for back pain is not needed anymore. My back is so relaxed now. I feel like play-dough in God’s hands.” |

“I came to Wellspring to get closer to Jesus and to continue to seek His purpose for my life. I knew also that my scoliosis would be healed. I had been told when I was seventeen that I had a slight curve at the top of my spine, but by the time I was thirty-two my first set of chiropractic x-rays showed a very pronounced S curve which limited my movement and eventually caused me extreme pain and hip problems at times. I remember a Christian chiropractor saying that since the scoliosis wasn't congenital or the result of trauma that it could be corrected - that was the last time I saw him or was given any hope. A few years later I also read that scoliosis could be the result of "carrying the burdens of the world." During the first week at Wellspring whenever we prayed the group prayers I felt a tingling up and down my spine and I knew that as I forgave, repented, and released that God was healing my scoliosis. By the second week, I was pain-free and when Art opened up the class for prayer for healing a student friend in the class laid hands on me and prayed, then she actually saw my spine straightening." |

“The Mother’s Blessing the first week was the beginning of a breakthrough spiritually for me. Growing up in church all my life, I learned how to live with a mask. After awhile (several years) you get tired of holding the mask up and you want freedom. I was able to pray and receive release from the rejection, hurts, and burdens I chose to carry. Jesus took them all away as I forgave and repented. The Lord showed me a picture of not just stepping into His stream of living water, but to jump in and immerse myself!” I'm all wet now and am enjoying my new freedom. I’m looking forward to more.” |

“We are really having a great time with all the new training tools you have imparted to us during the School of Ministry and we wanted to send another thank you to everybody for all the effort you put into the training. It was done with excellence and flowed very smoothly which we fully realize, does not happen without lots of work and prayer. Thanks. Thanks and be blessed.”
