    John14:12

    Ware thrilled aboutall that Godhas in store for you this

    upcoming summer of 2012!Summer offers a unique

    time of growth, training,

    exploration and preparation

    for the future. Many students

    seek real world hands-

    on experience by working

    internships with businesses,

    serving at summer camps,

    going on mission trips, takingextra classes, or simply

    working a tough summer job.

    Getting valuable experience

    and training is incredibly

    important and necessary

    to building a satisfying,

    successful and enduring

    career in the future.

    However, have you thought

    about training for a satisfying,successful and enduring life

    in God? The Apostle Paul

    told young Timothy to train

    [himself] for godliness

    for godliness is of value in

    every way, holding promise

    for the present life and also

    for the life to come. Beingintentional in your younger

    years about training for a life

    of godliness and devotion to

    Christ is one of the wisest

    decisions youll ever make.

    Spiritual training will have

    an immeasurable eternal

    impact not only you, but also

    on your spouse, children,family, friends, co-workers,

    neighbors, and even strangers

    youve yet to meet.

    For the summer of 2012,

    we want to invite you to

    journey with us through

    Beltways 14:12 School

    of Discipleship as we

    intentionally and passionately

    pursue Gods heart! 14:12 isa 10-week summer school of

    discipleship embedded in the

    context of our local church

    designed to disciple and

    14:12 School of Discipleship is an all-encompassing experience

    that will leave you encouraged, challenged, and equipped for the

    days ahead. I know of MANY programs that focus on education,

    many that focus on experience, and others that aim to aid thechurch. But I have known few that bring all these elements

    together allowing the student to grow in knowledge, personal

    depth and discipleship, while done in the context of living life in

    the church body. Truly 14:12 is a total discipleship experience that

    is done through relationship in the church without sacrificing a

    commitment to excellence in studies.Keith Roberson

    the Vision

    14:12is a 10-week

    summer school

    of discipleship centered around

    the promise Jesus gave us

    in John 14:12 I say to you,

    whoever believes in me willalso do the works that I do; and

    greater works than these will he

    do, because I am going to the

    Father. 14:12 is embedded in

    the context of our local church

    designed to equip 18-25 year

    olds to live out passionate love

    for Jesus and discover your

    God-given purpose. This school

    is comprised of 3 key elements

    that will equip you to be a

    whole-hearted mature disciple

    of Jesus Christ: solid theological

    and Biblical instruction,practical activation of spiritual

    disciplines and kingdom values,

    and opportunities for serving the

    local church with your gifts and

    talents. Our heart is to see this

    generation raised up and released

    into the destiny and inheritance

    God has for them!

    equip 18-25 year olds to live

    out passion for Jesus and his

    purposes in the earth.

    The past couple of yearswe have seen students come

    into new realities of freedom,

    devotion, and purpose in

    their lives as they invested

    their summer to pursue

    Jesus through worship,

    prayer, Biblical instruction,

    practical application

    of kingdom values anddisciplines, and training in

    character to name a few. We

    believe God has great things

    in store for your life this

    summer! So we invite you

    to consider joining us this

    summer of 2012 in a pursuit

    after the person of Jesus

    Christ!

    As followers of Jesus, our greatest joy is Jesus. He allows us the

    privilege to join Him in what He is doing in the world. Beltways

    14:12 school is a unique opportunity to be equipped to do just

    this. Ive been pleased to be a part of this school the past twoyears, and Ive witnessed God doing a powerful work in the hearts

    and lives of young men and women - most often things quite

    unexpected and very wonderful. The time spent in this school

    is intense training for godliness which has value for both the

    present life and the life to come. I cant think of many more

    profitable ways to spend a summer!David McQueen

    15 - 20 hours per weekEach student is expected to get and maintain a part-time job during

    standardsThe Scriptures give us freedom/grace in many of these areas. However,

    in order to maintain a unied, rich environment and atmosphere that will

    provide the best opportunity for us to experience the fullness of what

    God has for us personally and corporately during 14:12, we feel it is

    important and wise that we set a community focus and standard in the

    following areas:

    Dating

    We ask that students not begin new dating relationships during 14:12

    Media Abstain from media that dishonors God or distracts you from receiving

    all that God has for you in this season

    Alcohol/Tobacco Abstain from partaking through the duration of 14:12

    If you are looking to fall in love with Jesus, the word of God, andwant to learn how to give it away to the world around you then

    this is the school for you. This is not a school full of fluff but an

    8 week intensive designed to prepare and release young people to

    walk in greater levels of freedom, authority and the power of the

    Holy Spirit. I am excited about 2012 and watching God set young

    people on fire!-Tommy Hood

    will be disclosed to students upon

    being accepted into 14:12. Due tothe rigorous & challenging demands

    of 14:12 and the Activation Mission

    Trips, it is best for students to commit

    to doing 14:12 out of desire to seek

    God, grow as disciples of Jesus, and

    make disciples of Jesus, not because

    of any glamorous trip destination.

    From my experience teaching at 14:12, these guys and gals are

    hungry for the Lord - hungry for His presence, hungry for His

    Word, hungry for the power of the Holy Spirit to work and move

    within our community and beyond. This is the place to significantly

    grow in a short time, to be radically changed. These students are

    future pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders who embody a

    passion for the Kingdom of God!Nathanael Brown

    John14:12

    When beliefs become actions, lives are changed. The students in

    the school submitted themselves to becoming doers of the Word.

    It was costly and sacrificial giving. I watched as willing students

    became disciplined, diligent servants hungering and thirstingto receive godly instruction that equip them to be used as living

    vessels to reach the broken-hearted, hurting and unsaved lives

    with the love of Christ. The school fostered a genuine community

    among the students as they experienced spiritual growth. I was

    encouraged, challenged and blessed by the devotion and courage

    of the students.Beverly Stevens
