SEVEN GREAT SCHOOLS

There are seven great schools in YaYiN. Each one deals with a powerful area of learning or ministry. These seven great “mountains” would constitute a vast amount of knowledge and experience for anyone who could safely traverse them. Most students, however, will specialize in a few areas of ministry. The seven main schools in YaYiN are the Beyt Sefer, the School of Knowledge, the School of the Holy Spirit, the School of Prayer, S.OUL.S (mission school), SONS (apologetics school), and the School of Wisdom. The jewel in the crown and highest body of learning is the Yeshivah that provides advanced Christological study -perhaps the most detailed studies of Christ the Messiah that you will come across. The aim of these schools is to bring about radical social transformation in society with a keen understanding of mission.

1.BEYT SEFER

The Beyt Sefer or house of the book is the starting point of the journey to great things. In order to go on to mastery, the student will need some basic tools. In the Beyt Sefer, the student will learn how to read the words of the Bible in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic (it is not as daunting as it sounds). The student will also be prepared spiritually by locating his/her God-given gifts and given guidance on how to nurture and unleash them for God’s glory.

Critical thinking is another aspect of study in the Beyt Sefer. Asking well-chosen questions is an art form in itself and a much surer sign of intelligence than giving answers. The Scribes and Pharisees marveled at the questions Yeshua asked. Some philosophy, logic, and Theology will be taught in order to complement this area. Each school has levels through which one can progress and which can be taken when ready. The student should avoid jumping levels as this will only expose gaps in understanding later. The modules taught in the Beyt Sefer will be life-changing, revelatory, and will enable the student to progress further to the schools of knowledge and gifting.

2. THE SCHOOL OF ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE (SOAK)

Designed primarily for the teaching of the academic skills and competencies that will help students discover and unearth the riches that lie buried deep in God’s word. This often requires some further familiarity with the language of the Bible as well as other skills such as exegesis, hermeneutics, textual criticism, and theology. All of these areas and more are taught. Although seemingly daunting at first, the rewards of gaining some facility in these areas and the knowledge about the Messiah are simply immeasurable.

3. THE SCHOOL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

The aim of this school is to help students discover, nurture, and unleash the giftings that God has placed within them. Perhaps one of the greatest tragedies is to return a present to God which is unopened. God gives a gift to us; what we do with it is our gift to God. In the school of gifting, students will begin the journey of locating predominant and sub-dominant giftings. They will also be encouraged to nurture, develop, and place those gifts at the disposal of the one who gave them for his glory.

4. THE SCHOOL OF PRAYER

This school looks at prayer both from a practical and theoretical perspective. You will learn all the different types of prayers, and the art of prayer.

5. THE SCHOOL OF NON-SECULAR-HUMANISTIC STUDY (SONS)

We are proud to introduce “SONS” (a School of non-secular-humanistic study). Almost all modern institutions of Scientific, Biological, Philosophical, or other academic research have adopted an atheistic ethos. This is a school of academic study and apologetics. In today’s society, the gap between religious and scientific study is narrowing rapidly. In biblical terms, the gap is nonexistent; one cannot study the universe without understanding more of G-d and vice versa.

6. THE SCHOOL OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR SOCIETY (SOULS)

SOULS is the mission school where practical activities such as feeding the homeless, visiting the lonely, and giving to the poor are advocated

7. THE SCHOOL OF WISDOM

Or School of Life Eternal is a school of uncommon wisdom from ancient times until today
