Ordination
Mission:
Mission: Beyond Freedom School of Ministry is an apostolically and prophetically minded training. Our calling and purpose is to build up and prepare all the holy believers (men and women equally) to do their own works of ministry in the love and power of the Holy Spirit. As they do this they will enlarge and build up the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:12, inspired by The Passion Translation).

Take the Winning Favor with People God's Way online training. In this training, Prophet Teresa Lusk covers ten very important principles that many seasoned ministers are not currently practicing. This training is extremely important for your servant leadership journey. We ask that you take this training as seriously as the BFSM. While this training is shorter, it is as impactful! There will be an exam included after the training. You may purchase your book here!
