Walker International School of Evangelism

New update from last week. We have secured a facility!!

The Kingdom Church in Orlando, FL is letting us use a 4-classroom suite in one of their church buildings. It has the 4 classrooms, an office, and a restroom. It is a separate entrance so the college will be in its on little area. Praise God. And thank you to the awesome staff at The Kingdom Church.

We are still on schedule to start fall of 2024.

It’s getting real. Cathy is working on our marketing trifold for high schoolers. I’m going to Orlando every month to work with churches and the Central Florida Christian Chamber of Commerce.

We have some great news. We are looking to launch fall 2024. Things are starting to fall into place to open our college (both online and in person) in Orlando, FL. I will be traveling down there several times over the next few months to line everything up. Please continue to pray for us and for the students we will impact!

Great news. We have begun work on the online platform and the first two courses.

Things never move as fast as we like but God’s timing is perfect. We are hoping to open in the fall of 2019. Please pray.

Just a litle update. A business plan has been put together. We are starting to contact potential donors.

We are going to start with the online school first. As this grows over the next couple of years, we will start to put together the physical school.

Just finished putting together a comprehensive business plan.

settled on a host to store and display the courses! Things are moving forward!

Still alive and kicking. Looking for motivated teachers to help build online courses.

We have a bit of movement. We are starting to design the online course platform. We are leaning towards using moodle.com for the platform. We are going to put out one or two classes to shakeout the platform and our marketing to new students.

Hi everyone. We are looking for people with some experience teaching, preferably in a college environment. We are starting to put together the different classes and need people who can help to build online curriculum. Also, we are thinking of using Memberium as our online platform (and it uses Infusion Soft and WordPress). If you have experience in this (we don’t) that’d be awesome. Or, if you have any experience in online education, administration or any other related field that will help this college become a reality, we are interested in hearing from you.

Let me tell you a little about what we are looking to teach. We want to have a double major: evangelism and business. The idea is, to graduate people who can step into positions of church planter, evangelist or outreach pastor. And, we would like the graduates to be able to do this with no worry about finances. Our double major will accomplish this.

1. Evangelism: Besides the typical Bible College curriculum, the students will work on personal evangelism all four years. Every week the students will go out into the local neighborhoods to share the gospel. After doing this for four years, it will become second nature. As we move into a physical campus (Not sure, yet, how to do this online) we will have a junior/senior project where the students plan, market, and execute an evangelistic crusade.

2. Business: We believe one of the most tragic periods of an evangelist’s or missionary’s life is the 2-5 years spent raising support after college and before they can begin to fulfill what they feel they were called by God to do. To eliminate this, our plan is to have all graduates be financially free upon graduation. In order to do this, we plan to teach the students a practical business curriculum. They will learn in a hands-on environment from the first day of class. By the end of their second year they will have an online business that can (at a minimum) support itself. And, by the end of the student’s fourth year, the business will be able to support the student and their family.

We are looking for Christian men and women (all over the world) who can share in this vision and would like to be a part of this ministry from the ground up.

For the most part, we are looking for people from churches such as: Vineyard, Harvest Chapel, and Foursquare. However, if you can work with these churches, we welcome you with open arms and look forward to serving God together with you.

This is totally a volunteer effort right now. There is no money to pay anyone. As the college takes off and we get some students and financial backers, we will be able to provide income to people. But, alas, right now we can’t do that.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in, please comment on this post or email me at [email protected]. If you have a resume, please send it along.

Starting to build the online courses. Stay tuned!

Just wanted to give a quick update. We are trying to purchase the campus of Clearwater Christian College to house our phyiscal school (see the picture). At first, they would only sell us the part outlined in red. Cathy and I toured the campus a few weeks ago and prayed for all of the property - even the part in yellow. At first, only the red was avaialable. But, this last week, they told us, if we had the right offer, they would give us all of it.

We need about $30,000,000 to make all of this happen. I have absolutely no idea where the money is coming from. All I know is I am a child of the King and He has infinite resources. I am pretty excited to see what He does.

Began mapping out the computer aspects of the online class (what the format will be, where we will host, stuff like that. EVen picked a website name: www.WisEvangelism.org - nothing there, yet. Just have a name. Our goal is to have it all live by May1, 2016 - YES, 3 months from now!

It's the little things, sometimes, that keep you going. We finally have a school crest. Look up at the FB header!

Hi everyone. We are developing a very unique school with a physical AND an online presence. How are we unique? We only graduate evangelists, outreach pastors, and church planters. Every graduate will know:

1. How to lead someone to a saving knowledge of Christ, one-on-one.

2. How to start and groew an evangelistically centered outreach progream in a church.

3. How to successfully organize and run a large evangelistic crusade.

4. How to start and successfully run an online business to support the ministry God has called them to.

Upon graduation, each student should be financially free by leveraging the business techniques they learn by their sophomore year.

We are starting to put together both the physical campus and the online school.

Physical Campus. After much prayer, we settled on putting the school around the Tampa, FL area. About 6 months after we picked this area, we found the Clearwater Chrsitain College campus was for sale. Last week we visited the campus and found it to be perfect for our school. The only hurdle we need to overcome is the $30,000,000 needed to purchase the campus, rehab some of the buildings, and have resources to run the college the first 5 years while we build up a student body.

Online College. We have begun developing the courses and presentation format for the onliune school. Mu prayer is the online school is up and ready (for at least the freshman classes) by the end of March.

We are looking for several partners to help us with this project for building the Kingdom of God:

1. Prayer partners. Nothing happens without prayer. If you can become one of our prayer partners, let us know. We will let you know whenever anything special comes up that needs prayer. We also just need the whole thing bathed in prayer.

2. Financial partners. A reality of the modern world is cash flow is essential. If God has made you the stewart of monies dedicated to raising evangelists and people who will dedicate their life to bringing people into the Kingdom, please consider partnering with our school.

3. Subject Matter Experts. We are looking for people who have a college level knowledge of Bible, English, Christian History, Creation Science, Greek, Math, Theology, Business, and Evangelism. If you are a gifted teacher and are looking to use your gifts for God, please contact us.

God bless all of you I hope to put weekly updates on here to let everyone know how we are doing.
