Today’s students desire practical, real life, hands on experience underexperienced dynamic visionaries and leaders that are making a difference.London School of Ministry follows the word of Ecclesiastes 4:12, a triple braidedcord is not easily broken. The 3 dimensions of LSM are: exposure to a life-givingenvironment where information, demonstration and impartation molds, equipsand empowers leaders to be world changers, thus fulfilling the Ephesians 4:11-12mandate to “equip the saints for the work of the ministry”.

Pastoral wisdom is also provided when the time for placement in ministry arrives. The student mayserve in the same local church as a more effective leader or be sent out to plant other churches, take aministry assignment or serve as a missionary to the uttermost parts of the earth. This is the NewTestament pattern:

a) Future leaders remain in the church and their places of ministry while they are being equippedfor ministry. They are not up-rooted and transplanted, but grow and learn where they areplanted.

b) The local pastor(s) and leaders continue to have vital contact and input in the areas ofphilosophy and practice of ministry while the student ministers are being trained.

c) The equipping is taking place in real-life ministry situations that are a part of the context of thelocal church.

d) Pastors and other leaders from around the world bring their gift of teaching and practitionersof ministry are your guest instructors and teachers.

e) The ministry abilities and spiritual gifts are recognised and confirmed by a loving, caringleadership and body of believers.

f) The costs of training for Christian service and ministry are within range of all who desire tomove into greater dimensions of ministry. LSM allows the pastor(s), leaders, teachers and thestudent to partner together so the expenses of continuing ministry preparation are met.

Philosophy of LSM

TheLSMequippingprocessislikeatriplebraidedcord(Ecclesiastes4:12)comprisingof:Trainingthehead(mind),trainingtheheart(spirit)andtrainingthehand(ministryskill);allareneededtomaximizeministryeffectiveness.Thisequippingprocessmaybeexplainedanddiagrammedasfollows:

Philosophy of LSM

1) Training the Mind. The mind is to be disciplined in the things of God until the “Mind ofChrist” is ours. Sound biblical study is important so we gain understanding. That isINFORMATION!!

2) Training the Spirit. Spiritual formation is essential. This is the key to ministry as theHoly Spirit is the source of this life. Impartation of Spirit-life must transpire from theteacher to the student as both need to be “ministers; a flame of fire” (Hebrews 1:7).That is IMPARTATION!!

3) Training in Ministry. Jesus and Paul both gave on-the-job training so the disciplescould learn by doing - “…both learned, and received and heard, and seen in me, do...”(Philippians 4:9). That is DEMONSTRATION!!

This 3-fold dimension of equipping is the emphasis of this School. Bible colleges, for themost part, emphasise the acquiring of knowledge and the understanding of facts. LSMemphasises the practical training, spiritual formation and the training of the mind, acomplete training and equipping ministry in the context of the local church.
