You are invited to join us for a full week in the Word of God for dynamic and practical ministry training and Holy Spirit impartation. These classes are designed to help you, as leaders, equip the body of Christ to do the work of the ministry. Though darkness in the world has increased, we serve the One who has overcome the world and His Word holds the keys to victory in every area of our lives and ministries.
At this year's Word Conference we are offering more teaching in the form of two Special Ministry Tracks: Children's Ministry, and Praise, Worship and the Creative Arts Ministry. Bring your children ministry leaders as well as ministers of music, worship and creative arts teams for these special sessions.
We are often asked how the ministries at White Horse Christian Center function and operate. By adding these additional tracks, we hope to answer some of those inquiries. Our purpose is to share strategies, methods, and practical insights for all areas of ministry. Our ministry staff represents over 100 years of combined experience in ministry. It is my sincere belief that the value of what you can learn in one week through the classes offered at the Word Conference is immeasurable! Mark your calendar and make plans for you and your team to join us
March 25-31.
The conference is FREE for you and your team,
including lunch each day!
Subjects |
End-Time Prophetic Events Taught by Dr. Jeff Johns
There has never been an age when it has been more important to hear and be led by the Holy Spirit. The world events, natural disasters, economic unraveling, international conflicts, liberalism, and increasing hostilities toward righteousness would be disheartening if we did not know that GOD is in charge and He is not disturbed! In this class, Pastor Jeff helps unveil the truths in God’s Word that bring understanding, hope, and instruction for us to live and thrive during these turbulent times. Fear not, for HE has overcome the world!
Nehemiah Leadership Taught by Dr. Jeff Johns
In this class, Pastor Jeff will examine Nehemiah’s leadership strengths and strategies, providing us with tools for leadership in this age of opposition and cynicism. Learn how Nehemiah led first through serving, how he established a work ethic and brought organization to an otherwise chaotic situation. Glean from Nehemiah’s response to the opposition of the enemy — and the murmurings within the camp. With the Word of God always before him, Nehemiah led his people in rebuilding the wall — a seemingly impossible task. The leadership principles taught in this series will challenge and encourage you — helping to equip you as an end-time leader in the body of Christ.
The Father's Blessing Taught by Bobby Kirkley
In this hour, God is telling us to ask for the Old Path Ways, according to Jeremiah 6:16. We must return to God’s Old Path Ways so we will be able to answer the cry of a generation of young people who are hurting because of the lack of fathers in the earth today. The Bible says, “The righteous cry” and the Lord hears! He is hearing the cry of today’s Esau, who is crying, “O my father, bless me, even me also!” God is releasing fathers in the earth that carry the DNA of heaven for this next generation, to answer the cry of fatherlessness in the earth. This class will help you understand the importance of this blessing and how to release it to another generation.
Casting the Net: Go Fish! Taught by Gary Osborne
Jesus told His disciples that as they followed Him He would make them fishers of men. He gave them the tools – their Gospel nets – to bring in a great harvest of souls. In this age of technology and electronic media, the Church has been handed innovative tools extraordinarily well suited for fishing. This class will challenge and encourage you, first of all, about how and why to PRIORITIZE soul winning in your life and ministry; secondly, how to “cast your net on the other side” – breaking out of our one-dimensional evangelism, exploring the innovations at hand for effective evangelism and spreading the gospel message; and, how to “market” the Master’s plan, all for the purpose of exalting Jesus Christ and making Him famous!
Special Ministry Tracks |
We encourage you to invite your worship, creative arts, and children's leaders and teams to attend these two Special Ministry Tracks. They will be taught upstairs in the mornings.
Track One
Children's Ministry
Taught by Jane Johns
Mon., Tues. and Wed. at 9:00 a.m.
*Special Track by Rod Chaulk teaching on "How to Write Children's Ministry Curriculum for Your Church" - during Tuesday's Special Track session at 9:00 a.m.
Class Description: We will focus on an interactive hands-on writing experience. For most of us the thought of writing our own curriculum is more than we can imagine or even begin to produce. But this should not strike such fear in our hearts: it can be done. I have often dreamed about our children learning the same truths that are taught in the main service. It is my desire to break the fear that is attached to writing your own curriculum and encourage and infuse you with faith to believe that, with God's power, you can do this using a modern media assisted template that will make this possible. I look forward to simply sharing with you on the front lines of Children Ministry our creative approach to writing curriculum.
Track Two
Praise, Worship & The Creative Arts Ministry
Taught by Jayna Mullen
Mon., Tues. and Wed. at 11:30 a.m.
Teachers |
JEFF JOHNS is Senior Pastor of White Horse Christian Center, a revival celebration center. A minister of the gospel from his youth, he is anointed to identify, nurture and raise up leaders. His ministry cuts across denominational and generational boundaries. Building covenant relationships in the love of the Father is the cornerstone of Jeff's apostolic ministry to churches and ministers world-wide. He is recognized by many as a pastor of pastors whose unique teaching blends personal and practical examples to illustrate dynamic truths from God's Word.
BOBBY KIRKLEY and Martha Kirkley joined the Pastoral Ministry Staff at White Horse Christian Center in 2003. Pastors Bobby and Martha have served together in ministry in many capacities – pastors, teachers, armor bearers, intercessors, and Martha in praise and worship and the song of the Lord. They bring to their ministry powerful testimonies of the delivering power of God. Though Pastor Bobby’s teaching is biblically no-nonsense, his delivery is filled with God’s forgiveness, mercy, grace, and agape love. Martha Ruth is extremely sensitive to the Spirit of God and has an unusual anointing to sing the songs of the Lord and stop the enemy in his tracks. The combination of their individual breaker anointings allow Pastors Bobby and Martha Ruth to flow with a teaching and prophetic mantle upon their lives. The impact of their ministry has been felt throughout various cities in the U.S. and abroad, as they tear down, build up, and plant God’s word through intercession, song, and the precise teaching of His Word.
GARY OSBORNE joined the White Horse pastoral staff in 2002. For the previous ten years, he and his wife Rhonda ministered in the mountains of northeast Tennessee serving as church planters and revival carriers, bridging the barriers of denomination, age, race, and religion. Gary teaches and practices servant evangelism and outreach, showing practical demonstrations of God's love. He has a vision for the youth of this nation to rise and walk in the anointing, training leaders to train leaders. His testimony is one of supernatural healing, provision and restoration and he ministers from the side of victory to those in the throes of life's difficult challenges.
JANE JOHNS has a deep love for all of God's children, especially the little ones. Now grandparents, she and Pastor Jeff have raised six children in the admonition of the Lord, along with countless others through their ministry. Jane's ministry to children is practical and proven, grounded upon the truths in God's Word and she is an exceptional communicator of what the Lord had taught her.
JAYNA MULLEN has 30 years of experience in ministry, leading worship, and the creative arts. As Minister of Music and Publications Director at WHCC she oversees the various creative arts ministries and worship teams of all ages. Jayna believes that since the Creator of all indwells us, we are creative by nature and are thus granted permission to express it.
ROD CHAULK has a heart to make a lasting impact on the children of this generation. He has served the Lord in active ministry for over 20 years in many different areas of the church and now serves as an Associate Pastor focusing on the generation he loves - children. His desire is to see children walk in the fullness of the Spirit and to activate them now in the Body of Christ. He pastors with his wife Karen and four children at Antioch Christian Ministries, Essex,Ontario,Canada.
