The training provides funda- mentals and resources that are useful on many levels for prophetic individuals and groups who seek authentic and sustained impact in prophetic ministry. The School helps emerg- ing leaders discover and understand the pro- phetic leadership ministry and helps seasoned leaders enhance and deepen their ability to support the leadership development of others.

Churches are encouraged to send teams that include both seasoned and emerg- ing leaders so they can advance and reinforce the learning experience when returning to their home churches. The teachings and tools provided can increase the value and under- standing of working in partnership with the prophetically gifted to enhance a collective kingdom agenda.

Ministering through music, missions, and to the marketplace, Kathleen brings multi-faceted giftings together as a dynamic speaker, singer/songwriter and kingdom equipper.

With a special anointing in worship, intercession, and healing, her ministry brings about both spiritual and social transformation. Answering a global prophetic call, she has traveled through parts of the United States, Europe, South Africa, Zimbabwe, the Caribbean, and Can- ada, but especially loves meeting the nations of the world at her doorsteps in the multicultural urban neighborhood of Boston where she and her family live and serve.

Statement of Faith PureSpring Institute affirms the Apostles’ Creed and the core doctrines of Christianity. We believe in the essential authority of Scriptures for Christian faith and practice, justification by faith and the priesthood of all believers. We believe that God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus was born of a virgin, that He was physically raised from the dead and that an individual’s personal relationship to Jesus Christ as Lord determines that individual’s eternal destiny in heaven or hell. We believe in the present empowering work and activity of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer producing fruit in godly character and awakening gifts for effective service and Christian witness. The fulfillment of Jesus’ Great Commission to make disciples of all nations is central to the mission of PureSpring Institute.
The School of Prophetic Leadership, one of seven schools offered by PureSpring Institute, is a discipleship training program for emerging and existing prophetic ministers. The School’s purpose is to awaken and activate the 21st century prophetic leadership capacity into two arenas: within churches and into communities and cities.
PureSpring Institute is the equipping initiative of PureSpring Interna- tional Ministries. Based in Boston, PureSpring Institute is a global kingdom training network designed to shape and equip five-fold minis-
try leaders for the task of cultural engagement in neighborhoods and nations. To accomplish this task the Institute nurtures Spirit-breathed learning environments where the apostolic ethos and prophetic imagination of God’s people are awakened and developed to mobilize Christ-centered re- newal movements. Along with the School of Worship & Arts Leadership launched in 1999, Pure- Spring Institute currently offers the School of Kingdom Equippers, and the School of Prophetic Leadership. The Institute is presently developing other leadership schools as part of its vision of being a comprehensive missional learning center. PureSpring Institute is a 2007 member school of ACEA, the Apostolic Council for Educational Accountability.
