JDS is Junior Discipleship School. It is a 5-day Camp Meeting, of in-depth Bible training where youths are trained in the knowledge of scripture with the goal of becoming like Jesus. The institute’s burden is to see more young people come into intimate knowledge of the truth – which is Jesus Christ, the Word of God – right from when they are young, in accordance with Psalm 119:9-11. understand the rudimentaries of Christian growth early, and adapt themselves to walking with and becoming like Jesus in all spheres of their lives.
The goal of the institute is to ensure that all participants become not only versed in gospel truths, but are able to live them out practically in their lives, with the aim that these truths become an unmistakeable, undeniable, and indelible part of them as they grow into adults.
During the period of training, emphasis is made upon the Person of Christ in all the various courses in the institute. This is primarily targeted at letting these young ones recognise the relevance and presence of Christ in all spheres, no matter what they have been designed to become in life. Our end goal is to ensure that they become calvary arrows with which God can destroy the works of the devil in their generation, depopulate the kingdom of hell, and establish God’s kingdom wherever they may find themselves.
This year’s training will last for 5 days, and it will be a camp meeting. The training engages different instructors (from the Reformation Platform Ministry Team) handling different courses for the different categories in the institute. During this period of training, students can expect to be taught God’s Word using the scriptures as the major textbook, and also be engaged with assignments and activities that would help to emphasize and impress the lessons learnt upon their lives.
As this is strictly a spiritual institution where children are trained to become like Jesus in all spheres, no certificates, awards, or rewards of any kind will be issued to students at the end of the training period. We believe that after the much dedicated and concentrated period of training these young ones in the way of the LORD, their changed lives will be the certificate that will be taken away.
