Interview with Pastor Tope, Director of the “History Makers” Bible School in Frankfurt, Germany
Why another Bible school? Such a question shows lack of knowledge rather than wisdom, because any reasonable society knows that education is the key for development and prosperity. How much more should it be in the case with Christianity. The Bible says that my people perish from lack of knowledge that means there is lack of education and consequently we can say that biblically education should be welcomed in any sober society.
What is so unique about the training school? Our training school “History Makers” is so unique because of our history first of all.
The thing is that we didn’t want to establish a Bible school in order to repeat exactly the same thing others already did or in order to add another Bible school to already existing schools in Germany.
In 1994 God had spoken to Pastor Sunday Adelaja and said that He want to begin planting mega churches in Europe and God is calling pastor Sunday to do this.
When people first heard about this vision they said that it is a crazy idea and which is absolutely impossible to achieve.
13 years later the fruits speak for themselves. “God Embassy” church has over 20,000 members and over 600 churches all over the world under her covering which is a phenomenon.
But the main thing is what “God Embassy” has managed to achieve. It is more important what God wants to do and He already planned from 1994 for mega churches to be a common thing through out Europe. God therefore has given us the task to collect all the keys needed to establish a great and powerful church based on our training school in order to give everyone an opportunity to get that knowledge to establish churches.
This school is also a place where favour and anointing will be passed on during the teaching and training lessons.
It is also necessary to mention that the international influence of Pastor Sunday has increased in the last years. He has been invited not only to preach in churches but primarily in governmental institutions such as the UN and US congress. To visit separate churches individually has become more and more difficult for him. The Bible school therefore is a strategic place where Pastor Sunday’s ministry could really help churches. Besides the training school fulfils a function which regular conferences cannot fulfil in any ways.
How is the reaction of pastors to your Bible school? I would like to express a big thank you to all pastors who were sending their students studying in our training school. I have heard many positive feed back from them. Well some of them are afraid to send their students to our school because they fear that if after their students start studying they might not come back or even leave their churches. But I think that this anxiety shows lack of knowledge. Why? Because this school first of all takes place only once a month, on a Saturday where most of the churches in Germany don’t have any services. This means that the students don’t stay away from their church during this time of study. To be afraid of loosing students when they are studying in our training school therefore isn’t logically.
I also would like to add that there have been rumours in Germany that in the past some of the graduated students of the “God Embassy” Bible schools have caused divisions in their churches after returning from the Bible schools or even left their churches in order to begin their own churches. This is the reason why pastors are afraid of sending their students to our school. I would like to say that it is not fair to judge according to two individual cases compared to the thousands of students graduating from our Bible schools who have had positive influences in their churches.
Secondly in the Bible schools around the world experience has shown that a few of the students will not behave as he or she has been taught in school.
It is well-known that some of the corrupt leaders in government have also graduated from universities. But they weren’t taught how to be corrupt there; they have just acted contrary according to the way they have been taught at school.
Therefore to accuse the Bible school because of the bad behaviour of a few individual students would not be wise. I personally think that pastors should not judge the school according to the irresponsible behaviour of some students but they should judge the Bible school according to its curricula, programme and its fruits. I think that any pastor should be interested in sending his or her members to schools where they can get the best knowledge and education of today.
Without exaggerating the Bible school of “God Embassy” church is to Christianity what Howard or Oxford is to worldly universities. And this is not because we are the wisest but because of God’s grace and favour upon us.
Many ministers don’t want to share their secrets of success because they are afraid of competition. But in our training school “History Makers” we share all the keys, all secrets which made Pastor Sunday and the church “God Embassy” what it is today.
One of the bishops who have established many churches and graduated from 7 different Bible schools once said “I only heard one lesson from the “History Makers” Bible school and realised that regardless of all my education I did not know what those students know who are studying in this training school”. Now he is one of the students in our bible school and he is so grateful to God for all the changes and transformation which have taken place in his life and his ministry since he has attended this school.
What is so unique about the programme of the “History Makers” Training school? The teaching programme of our school is not comparable with any other bible school programmes. You can learn about that programme from our web site www.itl-godembassy.de
What are the reactions of the students? First of all we have received many positive feedbacks from the students. There are many testimonies of people who saw the Heavens open above the school and everyone who visits our bible school can feel the presence of the Lord. Everyone says that all Germany should come and study here.
Some of the students received gifts of the Holy Spirit and some have found their calling and have already started to walk in it. Some have already established churches and some of the students began their own business.
There are many testimonies and it is impossible to place all of them in just one interview.
One of the students shared how God spoke to her in a dream and told her that she should study in this school, although she did not plan on studying. Now she is one of our students and is very happy and grateful to God for that.
The other student just came to our Bible school as a visitor and while worshipping saw the Heavens open above our school. She immediately stayed there and is now a student also.
As I already said we receive a lot of testimonies like these.
How do student get to the Bible school? The students come from all parts of Germany. Some of them use the principle of car-sharing and some of them build groups and rent mini busses in order to minimise the travel expenses. If you are sure that you should be studying in this bible school you should invite your friends or relatives and come together by a car.
Is the certificate recognised? Yes, our diploma is recognised in German organisations as an officially registered school in Germany.
Who can participate in your bible school? Anyone can study who wants to get to know God more and is already a Christian regardless of any denomination.
