FORMAT

Central to our teaching, mentoring, and impartation is the idea of the “kitchen table.” We believe that truths are learned more easily and more communally around living and working together. You will work and clean alongside your leaders. You will eat dinner with your teachers. You will learn, not just by listening behind a desk, but by watching the teachers live their lives.

Yes, principles of leadership and spirituality will be learned. But we hope that there is also a Spirit to be “caught.” Ask questions, join the discussion, and see how these men and women of God really work and live and how their relationship with God is reflected in their actions.

 

TRACKS NEW FOR 2012

We are proud to introduce a new, focused structure for our course at the G42 Leadership Academy that allows interns to focus in on their giftings and callings, but allows for freedom and flexibility without missing any of our important teachings.

All interns, no matter their track, will attend all courses. However, once signed up for a track, you will get dedicated time with visiting teachers chosen for their expertise and experience in their fields. After this initial session, you will continue learning and coaching via teleconference and work on various projects with their organizations.

You may attend as “Undecided” starting on any term (January, April, July, October) but you will get the most out of the leaders and teachers by choosing a track as soon as possible!

January-June 2012 & July-December 2012: Business/Social Entrepreneurship Track
This track, led by Steve Holmes and in partnership with the Genesis Academy for Christian Entrepreneurs, provides business-minded interns with one-on-one coaching and mentoring by a recognized social entrepreneur and business leader in the United Kingdom. During your 6-month term, you will be in communication with Steve and working on real-life projects, most of which will be “business with a purpose”–for-profit businesses with Kingdom goals.

After graduation, you will have the opportunity to continue your apprenticeship at the Genesis Academy, or begin your own business under the continuing mentorship of G42 and Genesis.

January-June 2012 & July-December 2012: Non-Profit/NGO Track
Spearheaded by George Ridley, Director of LightForce International (UK), and Seth Barnes, Director of Adventures in Missions (US), this track will help you turn your ministry dreams into reality. Using their decades of experience around the world starting multiple non-profits, churches, and businesses, George and Seth will provide close mentorship and direction to get you started. Then, following your time with them, you will continue working on other projects, getting you the experience to begin on your own.

After graduation, you may continue building your ministry at Kingdom Dreams, work on projects in the third world for LightForce, or begin your own ministry.

April-September 2012 & October 2012-March 2013: Media Track
Herman Haan, Dutch pastor, author, musician, and documentary film director, will lead you through a track designed to take your creative talents and show you how to use them to further the Kingdom. The growing use of music, video, and social media today requires ministries, churches, and businesses alike to be able to connect with their audiences. Sean Smith, 2009 graduate of the Leadership Academy and current Video Production Director at Adventures in Missions, will help you hone and perfect your gifts and get experience producing your own media for release.

After graduation, you will have various options to use your gifts in the field doing project for G42 or other ministry partners.

April-September 2012 & October 2012-March 2013: Missional/Church Planting Track
Planting and pioneering is at the heart of the 42nd Generation. Ted Hanson, founder of House of Bread Ministry and Abundant Life Fellowship, and David Fredriksz, Dutch church planter and G42 Leader, will lead this track. If you have a heart for missions, pastoring, and church planting, this track will allow you to receive the confidence and tools you need.

After graduation, you will be urged to GO where God has called you, or commissioned to start churches around the world, or your can continue your internship at the School of Eagles in Bellingham, WA.

Remember, undecided interns may apply for any 6-month term, starting January, April, July, & October.

OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM

Community practicums- These activities will accompany the on-going weekly practical application of what has been taught and caught. We will seek to plant churches, help ministries, and serve the local community. Be prepared to spend evenings, weekends, and some weeks “practicing what you preach.”

Field Practicums – After your first three month term, you will be connected with churches and ministries outside of the local area. You will study and be discipled by an established pastor or leader, and will take a trip, either solo or in small teams, to get a feel of operating in the ministry and practicing what you’ve learned.

 

AFTER SIX MONTHS

After successful completion of all course requirements, you will be encouraged to “Say Amen and Make a Plan”—establish a church where God has called you, or build a business, or lead a ministry. Or all three! The leadership of G42 will continue to provide oversight, help, mentoring, and direction as desired.
