Leading by the Spirit Course
Upcoming course dates:
13 October - 10 November 2024
What Is LBSC?
Leading by the Spirit Course (LBSC) is an intense 4 week seminar, equipping kingdom-minded leaders to recognize and spiritually facilitate what Holy Spirit desires to do in any ministry context, while fostering a lifestyle of intimacy with God.
This course specifically focusses on equipping in the gifting cluster of prophecy, prayer, worship, inner healing, physical healing, deliverance, creativity and prophetic evangelism. Great emphasis is placed on the activation of gifts, identity, calling, and personal transformation of participants, through impartation, learning by doing, demonstration, in the moment coaching and ministry times.
Who Is It For?
LBSC is for Christian leaders from various nations and generations who are hungry for Jesus, have served in a ministry/leadership context for 3+ years and desire to see transformation in their sphere, church or missions.
The LBSC works like an estuary. In the natural, an estuary occurs when a river meets an ocean; it’s a contact point for healing (Ezekiel 47:8-10) and a transition zone, with the mix of tides and sediments producing high levels of nutrients. Because of the constant changes in the depth and flow of the river, it is very dynamic and most fish rely on estuaries to mature in their life-cycles of birth, growth and migration.
In the same way, LBSC creates a context of the constant flow of the Spirit amongst us, resulting in refreshment, flourishing of gifts, restoration and acceleration in which visions are birthed and leaders mature and transition to the next stage. The content and ministry offered will benefit leaders at every stage of maturity.

Cost
LBSC requires a R500 deposit to hold your spot once you are accepted. After this we expect each participant to ask God what they are to pay further in obedience to Him.
We hold the full cost to run LBSC together as a collection of staff and participants. As we each walk in obedience, God is faithful to cover all costs of the course, typically around R300,000 total.
This unique approach not only allows us to all practice spirit-led finances and community living, but also opens the opportunity for any leader to join no matter their background or economic position.
Commitment
This is a full-time course running 6 days a week. Attendance to all sessions in person is required. Expect classes each weekday morning, several afternoons and several evenings with application on either Saturday or Sunday.
Do you have a job? Are you a family? We believe God will do miracles to provide leave from work and raise up an infrastructure of practical support for those He’s calling.
Accommodation and meals will be provided on-campus for all students throughout the course.
