PERSONAL WORD FROM PASTOR BROWN It is my pleasure to introduce to you Abundant Waters School of Ministerial Excellence or as we like to refer to it as AWSOME. This school has been birthed from the experience of being a missionary and also preaching and teaching God’s word in 23 countries, including the United States. The purpose of the school is to partner with other ministers and ministries overseas and develop “disciples and ministers that will change their world.” This school will challenge those who attend to be all that God has called them to be. I pastor a church in Houston, Texas, in the United States and I believe in the local church. This school will help to develop believers where they can serve in the local church and go out and take the gospel to others. It will help you to strengthen your church and also help you to fulfill your God-given mandate. My prayer is that this school will be a blessing to those who attend and they will go forth in the name of the Lord and further the purposes of the kingdom of God. The Host School can charge tuition for each student that attends. This will help them to cover their costs for hosting the school. Our desire is to help those who want to have a good quality school and make it affordable to them. We see it as a missions outreach that we sow into other countries around the world and help other ministers and believers. Note: many of the Host Schools do not charge a tuition fee to the students. In return we ask that each Hosting School be dedicated to the Lord and also to the vision of AWSOME. We ask that you be a person of honesty and integrity that will further the purposes of AWSOME and the Kingdom of God. There will be some ministers that will be interested in hosting the school that I do not know. The bible tells us to know those who labor among us (I Thessalonians 5:12). Because I don’t know them I need another minister friend that does know them to fill out the Letter of Recommendation form and send it to our International Office. The questions that are asked are not meant to get into all of their personal affairs. They are questions that we need to have answered so that we know that we have ministers of truth and integrity.

I Timothy 3:1-7 gives us the requirements that should be in ministers lives and their families. If someone is not qualified it will bring reproach to the kingdom of God (I Timothy 3:7) and hurt the work of God. Paul said in I Timothy 5:22 to lay hands suddenly on no one and not to partake of other men’s sins. Paul meant for us to take our time when ordaining people for the ministry or putting them into an office in the church. God set this standard not to be mean but so that the church would have quality workers. This is our same desire and purpose. We want to develop quality ministers and believers that will change their world. If ministers go through both years of the school and graduate they will be eligible for licensing through Abundant Waters Fellowship provided that they meet all the necessary requirements. The Responsibilities Of The Affiliate tell you everything that is required for you to host AWSOME. The Simple Process of Hosting A School gives you step by step instructions on the process of hosting AWSOME. I am extremely excited about AWSOME and know that it will be a great blessing to those who attend. If you have any questions after going over all of the information you can e-mail us at [email protected]. Pastor Mark Brown

VISION OF ABUNDANT WATERS SCHOOL OF MINISTERIAL EXCELLENCE (A.W.S.O.M.E.)

In January of 1991, my family and I moved to the Philippines Islands as missionaries. We served there for one year. While there I worked with an organization that had about 12 churches. I preached in their churches, held small crusades, held pastor seminars and also had a radio broadcast. I saw firsthand the hunger in the hearts of the ministers and also the great effectiveness it produced in training the pastors. When you reach the pastor you can reach the whole congregation. When we came home in 1992 I could not get away from a vision that I had in my heart. I had a desire to help pastors, bible school students, and other believers to grow in their relationship with God. After being back in the United States for 16 months the Lord led us to start a church. We started our church with a desire to win the lost and turn them into disciples. We made a decision to make our church one that would reach out to the world and touch other nations. The Lord instructed me in 1995 to start writing teaching books and have them translated into other languages. I began to do this and we have now translated these books into four different languages. We have been able to give over 60,000 books in 24 foreign countries. I have received many testimonies of the effectiveness of these books that have been given to pastors in foreign countries. The books are being used in Sunday Schools, Bible Schools, churches and Pastor’s Seminars in many parts of the world. The success of the books is simply that they are meeting a real need which is a hunger in their hearts to know more about God, and fulfill His plan for their lives. While living in the Philippines, I also saw many who desired to go to Bible School but simply were not able to go because of finances. Many times they were required to move to another city which just would not work for them. Because of this many believers who have a desire to be discipled and trained for ministry are not able to receive that training. The Lord has given us a vision and plan whereby pastors and believers can be trained in their cities and towns without having to move. This keeps them at home where they can still work and be with their family but also receive good Bible training from a local school. At the same time it is not expensive for a student to attend. By addressing their major needs it helps to provide a way for ministers and believers to attend a good Bible School that will train and disciple them for ministry.

HOW DOES IT WORK Abundant Waters Fellowship is the church that I pastor in Houston, Texas. All of the teachings that will be used in Abundant Waters School of Ministerial Excellence (hereinafter referred to as A.W.S.O.M.E.) were recorded on Audio Cassette tapes and DVD’s in our home church. We duplicate the DVD’s or cassettes and send them along with the teaching outline notebook to the host school. SCHOOLS RESPONSIBILITY The first thing that needs to happen is a pastor or minister must submit an application to be accepted as a Host Pastor/ Minister for A.W.S.OM.E. [Application form can be down loaded or be mailed to you] Once the application is filled out and you are accepted, you must provide an Audio Cassette player or a color television set with a DVD player, and a facility with electricity to host the school. Note: In some cases we also provide the DVD player. The purchase of an Audio Cassette Player or a Color TV and DVD player, along with electricity used at the facility, will be the major expenses you will have for hosting the school. There will be other minor expenses such as making copies and sending paperwork to the International Office in Houston. Also, there needs to be a graduation ceremony with cap and gown. All of the above expenses can be met by charging a tuition fee to each of the students. If the overseas schools are able, we ask you to take up a love offering once a month to sow back into the International Office of A.W.S.O.M.E. This will help us to plant more schools around the world. This is not a requirement but a free will offering. I know that A.W.S.O.M.E. will be a great tool to develop pastors, leaders, and believers in your local church and your city as well. My desire could best be described by Paul in II Timothy 2:2 which states “And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” If your desire is to see men and women trained for ministry, then I encourage you to fill out the application. This could be the start of something new and fresh for your ministry as well. Sincerely, Mark Brown

WELCOME TO A.W.S.O.M.E.

Dear Student: Congratulations on your decision to attend A.W.S.O.M.E. I believe that you have made a decision that you will not regret. The purpose of A.W.S.O.M.E. is to develop high quality ministers and believers to fulfill the call of God on their life by impacting others. The teachings that you will receive are designed to mature you, stretch you, equip you and establish you in your walk with the Lord. You will be challenged to rise to a new level in your relationship and commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ. It will require you to change and reach for everything that God has for you. It will put a demand on you to come to a higher place in God than you have ever been before. But as you do you will experience the life changing truths from God's word that will transform you into the man or woman of God that God has purposed for you to be. Get ready for a great adventure. Mark Brown
