The Seven Year Plan, part 3




To the left you can see another one of the L'Abri homes (I believe this one was in Switzerland) as well as a photo of Francis Schaeffer. I would like to build this ministry based on the Schaeffer model of Christian study.


The extreme burden of my ministry at CAK is to prepare and equip the students for the next years after secondary school. ("You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them" - 2 Timothy 3:14) It will be called Hepta, the Greek word for "seven". The Hepta: Seven Year Ministry will incorporate numerous teaching tools including:

Biblical study and note-taking

Debate and speech skills

Group study and also one-on-one care

Private devotion time available in "refuge rooms"

No-holds-barred Q&A time each week (I am already conducting this on the UT campus and the Lord has greatly blessed)

Second-level teaching (going into Greek and Hebrew word study, possibly offering certificates)

Speech and devotional practice (each student will be trained and will deliver at least one message during the course of the week)

Summer Evening Retreats that will be both social and spiritual helps for the students

Overall, the James 1:22 principle will be employed: "Be ye doers of the Word and not hearers only."
