CALVARY ARROWS COLLEGE

The misdemeanour and recalcitrant behaviour of the siblings and children of God's servants all over the nations today is a major source of concern to every serious minded christian, and to us in particular. The devil has not spared in ridiculing the ministry among the unbelieving world because of the negative testimonies and scandals oozing out of the homes of several of our reputed and local gospel ministers. Many pastors have been forced to stop preaching and resigned from the ministry in shame because of their children.

Recall that Eli the priest was not particularly faulted for his personal sins, but the lives of Hophni and Phinehas his children contradicted the very words he preached from the pulpit. As such, that man of God was disgracefully laid aside. Samuel that mighty prophet of honour and integrity judged Israel over 50 years during which he turned back their hearts from apostasy to the ways of the living God. Just when he would have retired in peace to bear an eternal reward for that accomplishment- the elders of the land rose up to challenge the wisdom of following God after all “give us a king like other nations “ they said, “for your children are not like you”.

Note also that in scriptures, the children of Priest were the ones automatically qualified to take over when the fathers are no more. By this, God was assured that the altar of incense will never be deserted. The situation at present calls for alarm! Children of Pastors, Evangelists etc care not whatsoever for such a career, those who do, care not for the life to back it up – sometimes there is outright rebellion towards the ministry and all that it stands for.

Whereas the reasons for this tragedy are as numerous as the subtlety of satan, God is beginning to give us some insight into some of the causes and a clear mandate on what to be done.

The peril of ministry is that those who handle it often become too familiar with it . Most times, we as ministers in trying to meet the demands of a busy ministry, do often presume that since our children are always with us, following us about into all our activities in the church, fellowship, prayer meetings, bible studies and family altars etc. they must be born-again, and must be growing in their relationship with the Lord.

Many times there are when parents suddenly discover the uncultured hearts and the rottenness within . the kind of individual attention and care for souls we often show towards people we minister to are lacking towards our own very children and dependants.

Secondly the poor financial remuneration as ministers, coupled with their peculiar posting, do not always allow them to afford the best in education for them. So we often see that quiet a lot of them are “under-achieved” educationally. This is actually one of the strongest reasons a lot of ministers’ children rebel, and quietly resent God. They blame the ministry for their parents poverty and low standard of living when compared to other children whose parents are unto something else. To them, the God who forced their parents to become "pastors" instead of "business men" and engineers must be very wicked.

Herein lies our burden- to provide an all-holistic education specifically for FULL TIME MINISTER’ CHILDREN. Basically, it shall include thorough discipleship training and challenges…to inculcate, and train them to uphold the integrity and nobility of their peculiar call as Sons and Daughters of God’s Servants in a fast changing society. It shall provide for all-round comparative sound academics with well-qualified staff comparable with any elsewhere in the world.

Furthermore, it shall seek to sow the seed for a future “Body of Christ” that is vibrant in “unity” and “oneness” as ministers’ children from various denominations learn under an atmosphere free from denominational prejudices and doctrinal biases. By God’s abundant grace, and favour, we have designed this: CALVARY ARROWS COLLEGE.

Introducing The Burden

Admission is strictly by application and an appropriate placement test open to all categories of full-time ministers’ children, irrespective of location, placement, denominational background and affiliation: Pastors, Teachers, Evangelist, Missionaries, Fellowship or Ministry Overseers, Elders etc.

Whereas, the scope and dimension of the overall training programmes and facilities are expensive and cost intensive, the school is basically for the purpose of ministry, and as such, it is funded and administered by faith in keeping with the overall dealings and mercies of God over us.

For full-time ministers’ children, school fees are minimal.

And from time to time, subsidies and scholarship may be given in keeping along the policy of pure ministry. Successful applicants are only required to meet some minimal parental responsibilities and encouraged to support whenever, and with whatever they are led to so do.

However, non full-time ministers and other categories of brethren who desire to enrol their children or ward may be considered after due undertakings. Such are required to bear the full cost of their children’s training.

STAFF

By God’s grace, all categories of staff though experienced and highly qualified academically, are first and foremost Holy Spirit filled men and women with a heart for God: They are also ministers who have received this as a primary call from God to labour selflessly among these category of people as their own mission field. Men and women whose eyes of understanding have been opened to see the overall eternal purpose of God in Christ Jesus and have also come to discover the emphasis on the life and character of Christ as the overall requirement of God from them. They themselves are disciples of the Lord Jesus, and consequently disciplers of the lives entrusted to them. Qualification for heaven is their over-riding Curricular. They are charged with producing Christ at all cost in partnership with the Holy Spirit, whether those who will be labouring in the hostel, in the classrooms of academics or in the field of co-curricular activities (presenting Christ with all long suffering and wisdom) Col. 1:27&28.
Fellow Ministers and Co-heirs of grace, I bring you greetings and encouragement in Jesus Mighty name. may He continue to answer you with terrible things in RIGHTEOUSNESS as we all with an open face continue to await the revival Rain that must follow shortly.
