“Wherever you are, be all there! Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God.” |

LIFESTYLEThe atmosphere of the school is built around friendship with God. Personal time with the Lord and worship are essential pieces to the blueprint of contending prayer. Students get the opportunity to experience the prophetic and see the fruit of answered prayer change history. Ekballo cultivates a culture of modeling the life message that is taught in the classroom. Lifestyle gospel preaches louder and strikes a harder blow than empty, articulated, polished words. It gives authority and impact to prayer. We desire that love walked out, purity, and zeal for the Lord would define our community. We place great value on family and the generations co-laboring together. Our goal is for students to leave with a sustained culture of life in Christ ready to build community wherever they go. |
LIVE IN HIS PLEASURELearn to hear God wherever you are and become His friend. Don’t let life pass you by and miss what God is doing in your generation. God is always doing something new, know what it is and join with Him. Everyday is a brand new opportunity to see God move! This school is designed to equip students to not just minister in the anointing and make Him known, but to live in His pleasure. It’s not enough to simply know about God, but know Him, know His ways, know His voice, and be known by Him. BE PRESENTPractice bringing Jesus to those of a different culture as a part of the learning experience. It’s lifestyle Christianity that will win their hearts not podium rhetoric, it’s much more than words. They don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care. The outback of Hawai’i provides a segue to minimize culture shock on your way to the mission field. Experience this together as a group, multiplying personal growth exponentially as you live the gospel with others. |
“Community isn’t something that happens to you. Its built, one intentional relationship at a time.” — DANNY SILK — |
DREAM BIGDare to believe God’s dreams for your life. Ekballo is designed to be a haven of encouragement for students to reach their full potential and bring honor to God. The school culture is one of fanning wind into the sails of God’s dreams over you. Come, step into His story that He’s written for you. “The journey toward your Big Dream changes you. In fact, the journey itself is what prepares you to succeed at what you were born to do.” — Bruce Wilkinson — THE FINAL FRONTIERThe final frontier of those who have never heard the good news of the simple gospel of Jesus Christ are the remaining unreached people groups of the earth. The majority of these people are prayer cultures from Islam to Buddhist and Hindu. It’s the wisdom of God to raise up the prayer movement to reach the final frontier of the missions field. It takes a true prayer culture to reach a prayer culture. |

CULTURE:Our heart is to create a safe environment where students leave their comfort zones to grow. In the midst of an “aloha” culture the students begin to champion one another to become the best they can be. You can go further with those around you than you can going alone. COMMUNITY LIVING:Living within community takes pursuing each individual relationship. We believe that strong, deep relationships are built in the midst of community and created from an atmosphere of love. We see how the vulnerability of a close community helps to capture the heart of God and His deep love for us. We teach community where healthy growth is fully attainable and sustainable. |
