Why Training?

The typical Bible/Torah study does not go deep enough for some leaders and institutional studies may be inconvenient to attend, over-professionalized, over-intellectualized, and expensive for others. Therefore, there is a tremendous need for Hebraic communities to develop training programs to assist teachers and leaders in Israel with genuine callings so that they can be equipped for the assignments in the context of in which they have been called.

Any successful plan to get in shape includes exercise. If you want to get fit, you get a gym membership and go at it. Exercising on your own can produce results, but enlisting the help of a personal trainer will significantly increase your success. The results are better; the impact is greater. Anyone serious about achieving their fitness goals will optimize training for maximum effectiveness.

Utilization of training is vital, yet Hebrew communities often fail to prioritize proper equipping of morim and morot and launch unqualified persons to teach and lead assemblies. Likewise, many aspiring assembly planters see training  as more hassle than helpful. They believe that with enough social media access, talent, and hustle, they don’t need training. And a culture (yes, even Israel’s culture) that foolishly elevates charisma over qualifications feeds this deeply flawed narrative.

“The task of the GAI is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.”

Training is critical to fill teachers in Israel with the necessary foundations for effective ministry.

Bringing the Awakening message to the lost sheep is serious business. Planting assemblies to make disciples of communities and nations requires more than a magnetic personality and an impressive social media presence. As teachers in Israel, our mission demands no less than a fierce commitment to vigorous training. We want to plant awakened assemblies led by leaders thoroughly equipped to send them into their communities to declare and display Yahuah’s glory.

Potential leaders from around the world come to us with their passions and wanting to join the Great Awakening as an affiliate Assembly Planter or a Moreh/Morah. Consequently, each year we are faced with more opportunities than we have time or resources. Without a clear vetting process for quality leaders, we can easily be vulnerable to compromised character and poor reputation. Sexual harassment allegations, domestic violence assaults, infidelity, and immodesty, have all come too close for comfort within the ranks of the Great Awakening leadership.

We have developed a new vetting process that is thorough and stringent. This new process will ensure that we have complete transparency throughout the Great Awakening. These checks are reserved for all leaders in the Great Awakening International. Additionally, the Great Awakening will be using a specialist vetting service to check the history of current and future potential leaders, ensuring that their clean records can be noted down.

The New Vetting Process includes the following steps:

1. Currently serving in a local assembly and recommended by a GA Lead Moreh
