About Christ's Army Training Academy

In the Lord's name, we bless every member of the body of Christ who longs to become a soldier of Christ, and we welcome everyone applying to Christ's Army Training Academy.

We are living in a crucial time when we must prepare ourselves as the Lord's army to make ready the way for His coming. As Joel prophesied, the great revival of the latter rain will soon come, and only those prepared as the Lord's army will be able to carry out the work of the great harvest. This is because signs and wonders must occur as frequently as everyday events in the great harvest of this age, and those who have not been trained in faith will be unable to accomplish this work. Christ's Army Training Academy therefore focuses on training people of such faith. We pray that all of you will be trained as soldiers of Christ who exercise powerful faith and become people of miracles who complete the great harvest of this age. — Gloria Son (Son Sun-mi) and Kim Cheon-gyeom —

I extend the Lord's grace and love to every trainee diligently devoted to training at Christ's Army Training Academy. While serving as a missionary in China, I received a vision from the Lord to 'train 130,000 harvest workers.' Through this vision, the Lord enlarged my heart with the message that 'people throughout the world are one family in Jesus.'

In this age when the Lord's return is near, He commanded us to 'train the next generation of young people and those who have been chosen as soldiers of Christ.' To obey this command, our One Family community opened Christ's Army Training Academy in the fall of 2017.

Christ's Army Training Academy is a very special school that trains an army of miracle workers to prepare for the revival of the final great harvest. The Lord gave special guidance and anointing during the writing of the main textbook. The Holy Spirit also gave special anointing and guidance during the filming of the 52 video lessons based on that textbook.

Our trainees are now diligently devoting themselves to the training, and I acknowledge that all of this is truly the Lord's grace. As we have conducted the training at Christ's Army Training Academy, the course has continued to develop under the Lord's guidance. I am filled with gratitude to see the trainees taking the training ever more seriously. 

I hope that every one of you will long deeply for the Lord, seek His face, and keep your eyes fixed on Him. I earnestly pray that you will become true soldiers whom the Lord can use as His army in the time of the great harvest. May the Lord's grace and peace fill you all. I love and bless every one of you!

Overview

Christ's Army Training Academy is grounded in the Bible, the Word of God. Through study and practice, trainees learn self-denial through the cross, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the revelation of the new creation. The academy trains them to grow toward the full stature of Christ and become soldiers who prepare the way for the Lord's coming. The training consists of one regional meeting each week and individual training during the week (homework). Training materials include the Christ's Army Training Course videos by Missionary Gloria Son (Son Sun-mi), along with the textbook, workbook, and Army Training Confession Prayer Book.
