Evangelism Bootcamp
Enrollment for Spring Bootcamp 2024 is now open. From March 12 – June 23, 2024
Over the next ten years, we will train, equip and launch 20,000 evangelists for mass evangelism all over the world. Soon a two-year training program will be a prerequisite for the Bootcamp, but right now we are looking for an elite group to train next year in Spring 2024. Instead of thousands, we are looking for just a limited number of students. Instead of training for two years, it will be a three-month, intensive program. It’s a fast track to the field for a very special group of people.
This may be your opportunity to answer God’s call and accelerate God’s purpose for your life. If you are accepted as one of these pioneer evangelism students trained at the Christ for all Nations Evangelism Bootcamp, you will have the opportunity of a lifetime. Students will be trained by Evangelist Daniel Kolenda and Evangelist Levi Lutz personally, along with the whole Christ for all Nations (CfaN) dream team and other world-renowned evangelists at the CfaN headquarters in Orlando, Florida for three months.
The Bootcamp will launch in Spring 2024. Not for the faint of heart, this three-month intensive training includes rigorous components of study and service and is a fast track to the field. The program culminates with a three-week initiation that will put all you have learned in the classroom to test in the real world. Students who pass this initiation and graduate will have access to numerous exclusive opportunities including:
- An open door to preach the gospel alongside our Gospel Campaign team
- Ministerial Ordination
- Membership in the CfaN Evangelism Alliance
- CfaN Ambassadors Program
- CfaN Associate Evangelists Program
- Ministering in Campaigns
- Collaboration with CfaN and Partner Ministries
- Ongoing Training
- Ongoing Coaching/Mentoring
- And much, much more...
In just three months you will be prepared, mind and spirit, soul and body, to fulfill the plans that God has for you to reach the lost! This is accomplished through a very intensive training program. It's less like a Bible School and more like the Navy Seals for Evangelists, thus the name - Bootcamp. The training runs four days per week and requires additional out-of-class ministry and service hours. It’s a full-time commitment that will require you to relocate to Orlando for the duration of the training.
What the program looks like
Each morning before class you will meet for two hours with Eric Gilmour or one of the other instructors for a time of spiritual formation. These are some of the most spiritually transformative times as we pray and seek God together. The Holy Spirit encounters us again and again in these morning meetings that will be some of the highlights in your training and lay a spiritual foundation that will serve you well for the rest of your life.
Course Curriculum and Class Schedule
The next three hours will consist of two classes with a lunch break in between. These classes are a perfect balance of the Spiritual, Theological, Ministerial and Practical. They sometimes include elements of in-class workshops, preaching exhibitions and mock campaign ministry scenarios where students receive hands-on instruction, real-time feedback and evaluation from peers and instructors.
See a sample of the training you will receive
On-the-job training
The training at Bootcamp is not just academic, it is also extremely practical. We place an emphasis on developing excellence in the down-to-earth aspects of ministry. Graduates will not just have theological training, they will know how to plan and conduct campaigns, minister powerfully and run an evangelistic ministry. We ensure this through on-the-job training that applies what is being learned in class.
Internships and Service Hours
All students are required to complete weekly volunteer service hours where they will work in the various departments at the CfaN Headquarters. Through this on-the-job-training, students will have the opportunity to glean a wealth of experience in Television/Media, Accounting, Event Planning, Administration, Advertising, Marketing, Promotion, Fundraising, IT, Web, Direct Mail, Graphic Design, Publishing, and much, much more.
Local Outreaches
Students also plan, conduct and participate in, regular evangelistic outreaches throughout Orlando and the surrounding area. These ongoing evangelistic initiatives provide an opportunity for students to put into practice what they are learning in the classroom.
Behind-the-Scenes Discovery
Students are also invited to participate in behind-the-scenes strategic meetings with the CfaN team. For example, students attend, our Annual Planning Meeting where directors and delegates from our CfaN offices in ten countries and six continents meet to pray and strategize for the coming years. Also, regular Development Meetings and brainstorming meetings are opened up to the students.
On Field Initiation Trip
Before graduation, students must complete a three-week initiation trip where they will minister in hundreds of outreaches in Schools, markets, street-corners and open-air campaigns. In just a few short weeks hundreds of thousands of people will come to Christ through this trip.
Campaign Organizing Apprenticeship
We also offer to select students the opportunity to be apprentices with our campaign organizing team - which is the best in the world. Students will have the opportunity to see, up close and personal, how to prepare campaigns from the ground up and they will learn the trade secrets behind a ministry that has witnessed one of the greatest harvests in world history with nearly 80-million documented decisions for Christ since 1987. Additional opportunities to intern with CfaN are also available.
Accountability
When entering Bootcamp, all students are assigned to a personal mentor and coach who will meet with them regularly. These coaches are seasoned and highly experienced members of the CfaN team like Peter Vandenberg who was Reinhard Bonnke’s right hand man for nearly 40-years. Jeri Hill, the widow of the great evangelist Steve Hill, Jako Hugo who has worked with our campaign team for many years and who currently leads our school evangelism campaigns, Robert Enge, the executive assistant to Daniel Kolenda and many more. The opportunity to have access to and build a relationship with these extraordinary men and women is a privilege that is worth the price of admission in and of itself. The relationships built with these coaches go far beyond Bootcamp and are meant to last a lifetime.
Students will also be required periodically to appear before a panel of their leaders who will evaluate their progress and hold them accountable. Not all students will be able to complete this training. It is designed to prepare students for the cut-and-thrust of real-world campaign evangelism. It is not easy, and it is not for the faint of heart. But for those who pass the test, it will all be worthwhile.
Partnership and Collaboration
Students who graduate the CfaN Bootcamp have the opportunity to collaborate with Christ for all Nations and their fellow Bootcamp and School of Evangelism Graduates in evangelistic initiatives around the world. Graduates are invited to join the CfaN Evangelism Alliance which meets monthly online and yearly in person. These graduates work together and with CfaN to conduct campaigns, outreaches and evangelistic campaigns. They have the opportunity to receive ministerial ordination, represent CfaN as “Ambassadors,” participate in Pre-Campaign Mobilization outreaches, and sometimes even minister with Daniel Kolenda and the CfaN team in the Mass Gospel Campaigns. We don’t simply wish our graduates well, we offer them a lifetime of partnership, relationship, collaboration and support. Bootcamp graduates are an elite team of highly trained specialists in mass evangelism, a tribe of brothers and sisters who work together, support one another and do great things for God…together.
The Process
If you are looking for a normal Bible School, this is not for you. It is very intense, very rigorous and very specific training for evangelists who want to reach the masses. If that’s you, and if you are willing to pay the price, please fill out the registration form below. You will be asked to sign an affidavit upon application that indicates you are willing to lay down your life for the gospel, even to death if necessary. If your application is accepted, you will be contacted by one of our team members who will begin a dialogue with you to make sure it is the right fit and guide you to the next steps. Godspeed.
