School of Evangelism

The Lord calls upon our young people to enter our schools and quickly fit themselves for service. In various places outside of cities, schools are to be established where our youth can receive an education that will prepare them to go forth to do evangelical work and medical missionary work. 9T 170.2

Christ’s ministry lasted only three years, and a great work was done in that short period. In these last days, there is a great work to be done in a short time. While many are getting ready to do something, souls will perish for the light and knowledge. GW92 179.3

Purpose and objective

The purpose and objective of the Clash of Minds School of Evangelism is to produce a training program that teaches the principles of Christian doctrine and present truth, with the benefit of experiencing the holistic lifestyle associated with this truth. We have been given clear council from the Spirit of Prophecy that every evangelist should also be a medical missionary, and thus our schools would benefit greatly if they can be associated with such institutes. This is the background to the location of the School and association with Verity Health Centre.

Our short courses (4 weeks) are designed to equip the students with the knowledge to preach the Three Angels’ Messages simply and effectively in order to impress upon the mind the benefits of living what we preach. Time is of the essence, and that is why we have opted for short but compact periods of training and then equipping the students with the necessary resources to carry on the work effectively. If we dedicate ourselves to the service of the Lord Jesus Christ as consecrated workers, as laborers together with Him, He will supply all our needs and grant us the gift of the Holy Spirit to finish the work.
