The Supernatural Lifestyle

Most people don’t experience supernatural moments in their everyday lives. There is a 
big disconnect between their own experiences and those in stories of scripture or the lives of 
saints. If deep down you know Jesus Christ did not die for a powerless church, then you may 
be looking for the more that is promised by God. The Encounter School of Ministry can 
radically renew your mind and transform your life.

Drawing from the richness of our Catholic heritage and identity, we seek to teach, equip, activate and deploy disciples to be able to demonstrate the supernatural power and love of the kingdom of God in their spheres of influence.

The Summer Intensive is an evening school that provides a survey of the content offered in the first four quarters of the Encounter School of Ministry over a fast 2 day period.  The content covered includes Identity & Transformation, Hearing God & The Prophetic Gifts, Power & Healing, Inner Healing & Freedom. The Summer Intensive is perfect for anyone desiring to attend the Encounter School during the year but unable to do so because of distance or schedule.  It is also ideal for those discerning their enrollment in the Encounter School of Ministry but needing greater discernment.  Come prepared to be taught, activated and deployed.

This event is sponsored by Ascend NW.

Due to travel and traffic during the week, the Seattle Campus has taken the 4 sessions usually
spread over 4 evenings Monday-Thursday and instead is presenting it on a Friday evening
and all day Saturday to make commuting more feasible. 

Friday, July 22nd 6-9 PM 
Registration Sign-in begins at 5:30
Session 1  Identity and Transformation
All fruitful ministry flows from our identity as beloved sons and daughters of God.  The transformation that we need to undergo comes from the "renewal of our mind," (Romans 12:2) and thinking from the mind of Christ. We have received an inheritance to do the works of Jesus and even greater works (John 14:12).

Saturday, July 23rd  Registration Sign in begins at 8:30 AM
Session 2 Hearing God & the Prophetic Gifts of the Holy Spirit   9 AM - 12 noon
Jesus taught us that He is the good shepherd and we are His sheep and that we hear His voice (John 10:4).
Our goal is to grow in our relationship with God and strive to become more aware of the way He speaks to us for our own sake and from that foundation, step out in faith to hear God's voice for the world around us. 

Lunch Break - bring a sack lunch, 12:30-1

Session 3 Power & Healing 1 - 3 PM
Jesus called His disciples to preach the Gospel and expected them to heal the sick (Matthew 10:7-8; Luke 10:9). Jesus never proclaimed the Gospel without demonstrating it in power and love. This class provides a foundation for partnering with the Holy Spirit to bring healing to the world around us.

Break for Dinner and Vigil Mass 3-6:30
Vigil Mass 5PM

Session 4 Inner Healing & Freedom 6:30-9:00
God has revealed himself as the Lord who "heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalms 147:3). Jesus Christ came to set the captives free and release prisoners and wants to partner with us to bring freedom and wholeness to a broken world.
