In 1985 I was ordained into the prophetic ministry through Rev. Rick Howard. He quoted out of Jeremiah.   

 

Jer 1:7  But the LORD said to me: "Do not say, 'I am a youth,'for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. 8 Do not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you to deliver you," says the LORD. 9 Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: "Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. 10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant."

 

 

THE PROPHETIC WORD TO ME ON THE SCHOOL OF THE PROPHETS

   

Shortly after being ordained the Lord began to speak to me about a school of the prophets.  I was very close with Art Katz a Jewish prophet and father to me and was considering going to Ben Israel Ministry in 1983.  I understood that my prophetic anointing was more on the order of Samuel the prophet and I continued to pray about the school of the prophets for over 20 years.  I initially thought it would start in the U.S. and then to Asia and Israel.  It has been a process of prayer, counsel and confirmation along the way.  Some doors closed and others opened.   In 2006 Pastor Dale Crall prophesied over me:  "You are Samuel and you need to start a school of the prophets".   Two weeks later when I was in Jerusalem another close friend, Pastor Rueven Ross from King of Kings said, "You are Samuel and it is time to start the school of the prophets".  Even though both of these men have been close friends for more than 30 years I had never discussed the word about starting a school of the prophets with either of them.  It was amazing that both got the same word within just a few weeks of each other so I knew the time was close.  I also knew that there would be a school in Jerusalem and a school in Asia. 

I also thought it would be in Hong Kong with the late Dr. Agatha Chan and we had talked about it and prayed about it for a number of years.  I had shared the vision in Asia and Israel for the last 10 years.  In 2005 I came to Taiwan where the Lord clarified that the school was to start in Taiwan and not Hong Kong.  In the spring of 2010 I shared this vision with Andrew Chang, Tony Tseng and James Chu who also had a witness to the prophetic word and saw the need of such a school in Taiwan.  Over the last year the Lord has amazingly been putting it together.

Twice we have done three day prophetic schools and worship conferences over the last six months as a preparation to starting the school.  With the counsel of these brothers and some other local pastors we feel it is time to begin. 

THE ADVENT OF NAIOTH--SCHOOL OF DISCIPLESHIP

                                                                   Naioth Office
Today on February 18, 2011 we officially begin Naioth!   The Lord has amazingly provided a new place in conjunction with the Tribe of Levites of Taiwan.  We are working very closely with Andrew Chang who has The Tabernacle of David ministry and Elim Bookstore as well as Tony Tseng who is the President of Full Gospel Businessmen in Taiwan and Good TV. 



I am asking for prayer for this "birthing season" as we step out in faith.

 
24/7 Tribe of Levi "Fire House" seats 80 1 of 2 Classrooms seats 30
 

 

                                                 Fire House with Recording Studio
The facility will have many functions.  It has a 24/7 prayer house, recording studio, 4 offices, 2 main class rooms and one extra class room.  It is also next to Tabernacle of David which can be used as well. 

We will make teachings available on line as well but we are very committed to making disciples.  We believe that this school will prepare apostolic and prophetic leaders that will "turn the world upside down" as well as prophetic musicians, intercessors and market place ministries.  My goal is to raise up local leaders to continue to equip the saints to do the work of ministry.

We will also have a "Part 2" that will take the students to do a semester in Israel where we will work closely with leaders in the Land.  The Lord has spoken to us concerning the importance of equipping the Chinese church for their mandate of the Back to Jerusalem Movement.  We believe this school is the beginning of equipping them at a deeper level that is not happening now.  This has everything to do with Israel and China. 

Please ask the Lord about being a part of Naioth.  We are looking for those that will faithfully pray for Naioth, those who will attend as well as those to help support us financially.  We will be doing a summer semester as well in July and August.
