Yeshiva Style of Learning
"Yeshiva" basically comes from the Hebrew word for "sitting, sitting and
meeting together." This concept is derived from the fact that people
gathered, usually on the Sabbath day, to study together at their leisure
the tradition and the law. In these institutions, the pupils gathered
together to discuss and to define the Jewish law mainly by reflecting it
one from another. This method called "chavruta" means "get together of
friends." It comes from the root of the word "chaver" and means "to join
or to become friends." A yeshiva is not just a place where one comes
only for classes and then goes home. It is a community, where students
learn together, pray together and grow with each other.
The objective of a traditional Jewish yeshiva is what is called "Talmud
Torah" or "the learning of the Torah" or becoming intimately acquainted
with the word of God. In the same way, Zion College Ministry Training
Center will be focused on providing the students/participants with a
firm foundation on biblical truth.
Also, as in the traditional yeshiva method of study, students will learn
to encounter the questions and the objections that people have to
believing in the Lord. And, students will be given real responsibilities
and firsthand experience in the practicalities of serving.
Mentoring – Discussions, Fellowships & Activation
Resident Faculty and instructors are trained leaders in the anointing.
Dr. Mahesh teaches “if you live it, you can give it”.
Students/participants at Zion College Ministry Training Center will have
ample opportunity for both formal and informal discussions with
faculty/instructors including dinner fellowships. They will also be
guided through our Healing Team training and will assist in laying hands
on others for them to receive healing and deliverance. They will also
participate in our Outreach Programs and they will receive first-hand
activation in moving in prophetic ministry – words of wisdom, words of
knowledge, dream interpretation, etc.
Discipleship Training/Internships
Development of character and a servant’s heart will be worked out in
areas of practical service/interning at the local church in a
familial-type relational dynamic. Practical service/interning will be in
the Ministry of Helps area, which includes Audio/Video Productions,
Bookstore Management, and Children’s Ministry for example.
Students/participants are also required to attend one of the several
cell groups operating within the local church. This aspect of Zion
College Ministry Training Center involves learning responsibilities,
having accountability and embracing a spirit of excellence –
spiritually, relationally, financial, and practically.
Experiencing His Glory
Students/participants are required to be actively engaged in the weekly
Friday night Watch and Sunday morning services of the local church. Dr.
Mahesh regularly teaches that there are aspects of the anointing that
are caught, not taught, by simply being in His presence, especially at a
corporate level. Students/participants will learn how to let the Holy
Spirit guide them in a corporate setting. They will also practically
learn the effectiveness of different expressions of Worship – singing in
English and in the spirit, dancing, waving flags and banners, shouting,
raising Holy hands, etc.
Formal Classroom Instruction
Classes at Zion College Ministry Training Center are a dynamic dialogue
between students and teachers. Scholarship and understanding are
stimulated through an exciting question and answer exchange. The teacher
as he or she presents the materials will also ask questions and allow
discussion times on the text and bring forth the most valuable lessons
to be learned. The students/participants are encouraged to search for
real truth and to be responsible for his or her conclusions. Thereby a
formula for learning is crystallized and can be reproduced during
private study times.
Nine (9) hours weekly are in a formal classroom setting.
Students/participants will be established/grounded in the biblical
foundations and in key aspects necessary for ministering under the
anointing
