A Touch From Above Ministries

Why the College?
grads
As we get closer to the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, we can see the harvest is in great need of many workers.  We have condensed a three year program down to an intense one year program. Why? 

We are a spirit filled nondenominational Christian Ministry.  We believe it is vitally important for you to study to show yourself approved, 2 Timothy 2:15, "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

The apostle Paul warned us of what we would see in the days ahead: 2 Timothy 4:2-5, " Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry."

For this very reason we have been preparing for this University & Seminary. You will be so excited as you, yourself step into the pages of yesteryear in the Bible and suddenly you will find yourself walking today in the fullness of God's amazing, wonderful, powerful anointing, going forth and doing His work!

A Touch From Above will be fully accredited in January 2009; the University & Seminary's main purpose is to train men and women, not only for ministry but also for your daily Christian walk. The Lord is so faithful, and the harvest is truly ready to be gathered. Having pioneered two churches and traveling around the world to different churches, I had the wonderful privilege to see and learn a few things to help train you for the harvest field. America is my heart beat, and as I look out, I see a great need to train men and women with a fire and anointing to Go-Forth into this dark world with a Gospel message of hope and freedom.

Having a burden to see the United States won for Jesus and looking at the condition of our nation how could only one person or just a few people make an impact? We need thousands to touch this nation and together many hands make work light. Thus, the Holy Spirit birthed in my heart a desire to impart vision and the purpose of the Gospel to reach the millions of lost souls in America. The University was then birthed in my heart.

As we read what the Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 5:16, “redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” Reading in this scripture, we can see we are even closer now to the trumpet sound where the church will be caught up together to meet the Lord. I can feel the heart beat of Jesus as He wept for Jerusalem. They are like sheep without a shepherd and many have gone astray. This is God’s Hour! This is your time! God needs you! You can be trained whether you are male or female! God wants to use you! Come and be equipped! Be trained, and be sent out! Make impact for Jesus, not just on this earth but for eternity.

While many gather together in what we call mega churches, we seldom realize so many people get lost in the wave of the crowd, and while yet millions of people still go unsaved outside the four walls. This is why Jesus called men and women to be His disciples and He trained them to Go-Forth and make disciples. In the early church, everywhere the Disciples of Christ stepped out; souls were won for the Kingdom’s Purpose. We must get back to the basics and train men and women to gather in this harvest. What if we trained one million students, men and women, then sent them out to pioneer churches across the United States? Then what if each pioneered church won only 100 people? Look at the impact: 100 million souls into the Kingdom of God. True Disciples! What an impact! How can we win this world in these last days? We must train and equip both men and women to go forth and preach the Gospel. My heart beat is to train millions of men and women of all ages, but they must be at least 18 years old. Every color and every race; and like a flood over our entire nation, this nation will drink from the rivers of Living Water. We can pull our nation out, once again from sin and darkness.

Many people do not have three to four years to complete a full degree. So I put together a highly condensed, concentrated Bachelor's Degree. Within one year, you can be trained to start your own church and make the difference in the Kingdom of God.

This is what you will obtain and learn in one year.
  1. You will learn your Bible and its’ History; yesterday, today and tomorrow.
  2. You will learn to pray, listen, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
  3. You will learn all legal documents to pioneer a church.
  4. You will learn how to obtain your 501(c)(3).
  5. You will learn how to play keyboard and lead worship.
  6. You will learn to win souls.
  7. You will learn QuickBooks and Bookkeeping to establish your church.
  8. You will learn to work closely with people.
  9. You will learn how to prepare a sermon for preaching.
  10. You will learn how to preach.
  11. You will learn different types of Evangelism: you will experience a tent meeting, and you will street preach
  12. You will experience the Mission Field.
We have a dorm for women, which will accommodate 15 women. They will live together, pray together, help each other, and grow together in the wonderful grace of the Lord. As we build our next building, then we will have room for another 20 more students to live on campus. We ask you to remember, ministry is continually working with people. Living together is God’s way to help you get out of your comfortable private space.  If the dorms are filled, students will be able to check for off-campus housing or for sharing apartments.  

I love ministry! I have been in ministry for almost 30 years. I would not trade this pearl of great price for anything this world has to offer. The joy you feel when one person is awakened to the call of God. I cannot share the excitement you will feel when a whole family comes in broken, tattered and torn apart by sin, as the Gospel message you share comes to light in their hearts. You see day by day, the entire family transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and guess what? You had a vital part in making that happen.  The joy when you see someone walk in a service you have ministered to over and over again. By God’s amazing grace and by much prayer they walk through that door ready to receive Jesus. Single mothers broken, come to learn about Jesus. Husbands who feel they have no worth, find that they can be mighty men of valor and guess what? You had a part in working with them; great is your reward in Heaven. All Heaven rejoices and God is watching. The faithful servants laboring in the harvest field day after day, week after week, and year after year. And within a moment of time they are before the Master and He says “Well done, thy good and faithful servant.” What are you waiting for? Come and be trained! There is no better job, no higher position than to do what Jesus has called us to do.

Ephesians 4:11-13 "And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;"

Go Forth! God is calling you! Jesus needs you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In His Love & Mine,
