I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater
works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father John 14:12

Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and
teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.
King David (Psalm 25:4-5)

Welcome & Vision

are thrilled about

all
that
God
has in store for you this
upcoming summer of 2016!
Summer offers a unique
time of growth, training,
exploration and preparation
for the future. Many students
seek real world handson experience by working
internships with businesses,
serving at summer camps,
going on mission trips, taking
extra 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

We

for godliness is of value in

every way, holding promise
for the present life and also
for the life to come. Being
intentional 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 2016,
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 is
a 6-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 the
church. 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 sacricing a
commitment to excellence in studies.

equip 18-25 year olds to live

out passion for Jesus and his
purposes in the earth.
The past couple of years
we 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 and
disciplines, 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 2016 in a pursuit

after the person of Jesus
Christ!

THE VISION

14:12

is a 6-week
summer school
of discipleship centered around
the promise Jesus gave us
in John 14:12 I say to you,
whoever believes in me will
also 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!

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 two
years, 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
protable ways to spend a summer!

COMMUNITY STANDARDS

John 14:12

The 14:12 Life

EMPLOYMENT

The Scriptures give us freedom/

grace in many of these areas.
However, in order to maintain
a unified, 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

D-school is an opportunity that you will never get again. It is

an opportunity where you can single-mindedly pursue God,
while making friends and having fun. I can promise you this,
that whatever age you nd yourself looking back from, you will
NEVER regret taking such a transformational experience.
You will seek me and nd me, when you seek me with
all your heart Jeremiah 29:13

Throughout the summer I developed a friendship with Holy Spirit

that is still being built upon today. I was equipped and poured
into in ways only Holy Spirit himself can pour into me - I was
awakened to receiving his promises for my life! There are some
days a random God thought will pop into my head and then I will
realize that the seed of truth was planted when I did Discipleship
school.
I LOVE DISCIPLESHIP SCHOOL!
