“Becoming Effective Ambassadors for Christ” – Clay Ford
This seminar will focus on the meaning of ambassadorship, especially as it relates to our being called and commissioned as ambassadors for Christ. Effective ambassadors: 1] must know and deeply understand the entity or persons they represent; 2] they must also know and deeply understand those to whom they are sent; 3] and they must be adequately prepared/equipped to faithfully represent the sender, being able to convey the heart, the mind, and the will of the one they represent to those to whom they are sent in the most effective way possible. Understanding the nature of ambassadorship in general, we will then explore the Scriptures to learn what it means for us to become more effective ambassadors for Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God.

“Revitalizing Dying Churches” – John Grove
It’s concerning that so many churches have shrunk in attendance over the past five years. This even includes churches that are faithful to the gospel and the Bible! In this seminar we will examine several potential ways to re-ignite spiritual, and numerical growth. CAUTION!! God may stretch us to consider making (radical?) changes in our thinking and practices!

“The Power of Blessing” – Billy Ford
What does it really mean to be blessed—and to bless others? In this perspective-shifting seminar, we will explore God’s original purpose for blessing the world, how that purpose unfolded through Scripture, and how it is fulfilled today in Jesus Christ. You’ll gain fresh insight into your identity as a blessing bearer, discover how blessing flows through both words and deeds, and learn how God wants to use you to impact the people around you. Come be inspired and equipped to live out the power of blessing!

“Healing and Deliverance Seminar” – Steve Dominguez
Perhaps you or someone you know is suffering from mental torment, a chronic illness that doesn't seem to be treatable, addictive behavior, demonic visitations, unresolved trauma, or some situation that seems hopeless. In this seminar Steve will provide training and tools to help you be set free as well as help others. In this seminar you will learn what weapons of warfare a Christian has and how to use them. Examples will be given for how to address various spiritual strongholds, as this seminar is based on many years of experience Steve and his wife, Risa, have with inner healing and deliverance ministry.

“Christian Integrity and Discernment with Social Media” – John Piippo
Too frequently Christians seem to be entering into social media battles that may not reflect the love and mercy of God. Additionally, posts may be less than accurate. We will discover some ways we can best be light and salt in the age of social media.

“Learning from Wisdom: A Study of Proverbs” - Ed Owens
Spirit-filled Christians rightly emphasize the leading of the Holy Spirit. Perhaps we also need to reexamine the place of wisdom in our daily walk. In this seminar we will seek to understand Hebrew wisdom literature, their poetry structure, and the application of wisdom that is emphasized in the book of Proverbs.

How to Minister to Addicted People Seminar
Clay Ford's class on the Holy Spirit was terrific. He's a great teacher and managed the Zoom learning environment well. It was neat to see classmates from all over the country!
I signed up for the class to learn about the Holy Spirit, but more importantly to learn to be Spirit-filled and more open to having the Spirit active in my life.
Classes are over, but the book, study guide, and class materials give me much to review, study, pray about, explore, and strive for. "Come Holy Spirit!"
Ross,
First I want to thank you for the class you taught, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have learned more about the healing ministry, and pray I will get more proficient as I move along in this ministry. I have bought a copy of Peter Wagner's book "How To Have A Healing Ministry--Without Making Your Church Sick". It's a great read thus far. Thanks again for all you have taught us.
God's Blessings to you
The Holy Spirit and The Spirit Filled Life
What really stood out to me in that class was when someone talked about getting in the river. Clay had said that we are fine when we are up to our knees in water and even our chests, but when it gets over our heads is when we really have to rely on the Holy Spirit to guide us. A person in the class related that we can be filled with the Holy Spirit up to our knees, up to our chest or we can ask for more and have him fill us up over our heads, again and again. Clay's use of the stacking boxes as the gifts given to us that we have the opportunity to open or not was powerful. If we are given the option of opening the box or not, we may not open all of the gifts he offers us. I enjoyed all of the classes and will take a couple more next session.
Blessings,
Holy Spirit Renewal Ministries
