I am so thankful for the God‐provided beautiful space to conduct several days of training right in the midst of nature, away from the hustle and bustle last week. It was a good first run of the Apostolic-Prophetic equipping hub with a first batch of participants, and we are opening up the next run in December over 6 days 5 nights!

Recently while opening up many of our boxes that arrived in Aus from Singapore, I found some transcribed prophecies Jason and I received in 2001 given to us by a visiting prophetic minister to the church we were both then serving as leaders. We were newly weds and have only been married for 4 months. Amongst the 1.5 page long prophecy, he said to us that "God has given you a pioneering spirit" and he saw us in the years ahead "pioneering a unique work, a unique church" and "being an apostolic and prophetic couple". His wife also prophesied to us that "the Lord has called the two of us together to train and equip". Upon picking up the long-forgotten prophecies after 22 years, I was deeply encouraged. With especially the hindsight of the past 2 decades and especially that of the last 12 years, it is amazing to see how the prophecies have come to pass in so many ways, as it continues to unfold and be fulfilled. God is restoring the apostolic and prophetic to His Kingdom. The gifts of the apostle and prophet are not any more important than the evangelist, pastor/shepherd, or teacher. They are not something higher, but one of the 5‐fold functional gifts meant to train and equip the saints for the work of the ministry. We (the church) have really made them out to be something that's religiously out of place. In this Apostolic and Prophetic Equipping Hub, we seek to equip you with a strong spiritual understanding and foundation of the apostolic and prophetic functions in the Ekklesia; and to equip you to hear from God and be sent out to make and multiply disciples of Christ. We seek to bring together the apostolic and the prophetic functions which are characteristically poles apart to work together on kingdom assignments. It will be a 6-day 5-night stay‐in “camp”, located at a house by a small lake. And it involves teaching, training, equipping, prayer, coaching, activation and exercise of gifts and praxis with a practical discernment and conversations on God’s kingdom last days plan, purposes and will.
