WELCOME
Zion College Ministry Training Center is the embodiment
of experience, knowledge, revelation, foundational truths and
disciplines developed through over thirty years of international
ministry. It encompasses a legacy of apostolic truths tested out by Drs.
Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda, our Founders, in the course of three decades
of Spirit-filled and Spirit-led ministry. As a part of their calling to
train up the saints for the work of ministry, Drs. Mahesh and Bonnie are
faithfully launching Zion College Ministry Training Center with a
Yeshiva-style of learning. Yeshiva is the Hebrew word for a traditional
Rabbinical school. So likewise, Zion College Ministry Training Center
has a unique blend of mentoring opportunities (through discussions,
fellowships and activation), discipleship training and internships
through a local apostolic church, formal classroom instruction, and
experiencing God’s glory and power through weekly corporate prophetic
prayer meetings (The Watch of the Lord) and Sunday morning services.
This style was chosen because it mirrors how Jesus taught, embraces our
Jewish roots, reminds us of His love for Israel and our call together to
fulfill the Great Commission.
Drs. Mahesh and Bonnie and their apostolic team have cultivated, as
faculty members and church leaders, a dynamic training environment of
servant-leadership. They are committed to letting the Lord build His
church through the gifts and fruit of the Holy Spirit working in and
through the lives of believers.
So, we welcome you to come to Zion College Ministry Training Center to
participate in and be transformed through our one- and two-year credited
program, our intensive certificate program or by auditing courses that
are offered in our Fall, Winter and Spring Learning Modules.
Apply today and get ready for a life-changing encounter with the Glory
and Power of God.
