We have performed most often for youth (retreats etc.) however, we are comfortable in all settings - all ages/churches/schools/ corporate/secular. We make great partners in an outreach setting, but we are also confident to stand alone. Whatever it be, we are quite flexible - we do Improv...go figure.”

WorldView Academy: Training World Christians For Authentic Action
A unique people for a unique time requires unique training. This is what WorldView Academy is all about. It is about training world Christians for authentic action. It is about learning life skills that will serve you in every area of life and ministry – whatever your unique destiny and calling in God. It is also about raising up an army of radical, committed and fully equipped Christians to advance the Kingdom of God in every arena of life.
Let’s face the facts! Most people tend to follow the normal path laid out for us in our culture, never stopping to question whether this path is preparing us for the particular destiny we were born for. For instance, delaying college for a year or taking a year off is not the typical American course. But WorldView Academy is not a typical opportunity. It is a once-in-a-lifetime learning experience, designed to offer foundational life and ministry skills training while offering creative, out-of-the-box opportunities to think, live and act from a Biblical worldview. The skills and life knowledge gained at WVA will build solid Biblical foundations for every student, no matter where God’s plan takes them – whether to the marketplace or to the nations, the home front or the workforce. The ability to see the world and our place in it from God’s perspective will govern every area of life and result in fruit that will last.
This 40-week intensive training is divided into 3 quarters, starting on August 20, 2001 and ending on June 28, 2002.
Course topics include:
Biblical WorldView - Learn how God sees the world and find out how your worldview is formed.
Critical Thinking - Learn how to think about the situations and information you are confronted with every day in your culture.
Dynamic Reflection - Learn how to understand and gain from your experiences.
Effective Leadership - Learn real-life leadership skills that will assist you in every area of life.
Interpersonal Skills - Learn to address conflict and work effectively with others.
Growth Principles - Learn how to position yourself for life-long learning.
Areas of in-depth ministry training:
Arts
Worship
Children's Ministry
Teen Ministry
Compassionate Action
24 / 7 International House of Prayer
Administrative Leadership
Application process opens May 1 and closes July 31.

Mime Through the Church Ages - ART308
2 credits
$175.00
This class of MIMEistry International offers a unique view of history. It’s the view of a mime and minister...looking at art, as the arts strugle throughout the Church ages: from the use of the arts by the prophets of the Old Testament, to the countryside of Greece and the Courts of Renaissance Europe. It looks into the rise and fall of the arts in empires and kingdoms, and traces the philosophers like Plato, and ministers like St. Augustine. Finally, it answers questions that have echoed throughout time, questions that try to embrace the arts as ministry...or entertainment.
