Overview
Prophetic ministry is widely practised across African Christianity, yet it is rarely taught in a structured, accountable and reflective way. This programme offers careful biblical study alongside practical, ethical and pastoral formation.
Teaching gives attention to scripture, church history, interpretation, ethics and accountability. Where questions touch on psychology, culture or spiritual experience, they are presented as areas for responsible study and discussion rather than as settled scientific fact.
Participants are encouraged towards humility, submission to pastoral oversight, sound interpretation and care for the people affected by prophetic ministry.
Who it is for
- Prophets and prophetic ministers seeking structured, accountable formation
- Pastors overseeing prophetic activity within their congregations
- Prayer leaders and intercessory teams
- Christian leaders responsible for guarding and pastoring vulnerable members
- Believers seeking serious biblical education concerning prophetic ministry
What participants should expect to learn
- Study the biblical material concerning prophecy in its literary and historical context
- Distinguish between the prophetic gift, prophetic function and questions of office
- Approach dreams, visions and spiritual symbolism with interpretive care
- Test spiritual impressions responsibly and within accountable structures
- Apply clear ethical boundaries, especially around high-risk or harmful prophetic claims
- Understand pastoral responsibility towards vulnerable and distressed people
- Engage thoughtfully with African spiritual worldviews and their pastoral implications
