Then Jesus said, I am the door of the sheep. If anyone enters in by Me, he shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture. John 10:9
These gatherings began when Michael and Julie were led to start fellowship meetings in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2002. The gatherings have run in varying forms every year since then (including remotely by video call) and are "organic" in nature, running along the lines of 'Family of God getting together with a purpose' rather than something highly organised or academic.
In more recent years the emphasis has been Bethabara Fellowship intentionally being a Fellowship with Spirit School at heart that is both pastoral and prophetic in nature and teaching. We seek to bring a balanced approach to the care of God's Family. Our main emphasis is to equip waterers (workers in Jesus' harvest) who can disciple and be a part of running all kinds of fellowships that include pastoral care, discipling, teaching and prophetic ministry.
We prefer to hold Spirit School fellowships in homes in order to keep a Family of God atmosphere and to limit the size of gatherings so they do not become impersonal.
We do not run meetings on Sundays to allow people to continue to be involved in their various churches / fellowships.
We do not seek to be an academic bible college and have seldom offered foundational teaching for new Christians.
We do not charge a fee as the Kingdom of Jesus Christ is not for sale.
Our function is to encourage and teach the importance of:-
Centering our lives on Jesus Christ and His teachings.
Following Holy Spirit in ministering to others prophetically.
Walking as the sons of our Father seeking to honour and follow Jesus Christ.
Discipling at multiple levels.
