Summer Intensive seminar designed for those seeking more

“Come and see.” – John 1:39

Are you looking for more out of your Catholic faith?

More from your baptismal roles of priest, prophet and king? More from your identity as sons and daughters of God? More from your inheritance of the Kingdom of Heaven?

If your answer is yes, if you are hungering for more, Father Michael Voithofer has just the thing for you: the Encounter School of Ministry Summer Intensive seminar, to be held over four evenings – July 22 to July 25 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. – at St. Gerald Church in Ralston, 9602 Q St.

The Summer Intensive is a crash course on the first four quarters of teaching from the Encounter School of Ministry, covering the topics of identity, prophecy, healing and inner healing.

Father Voithofer serves as director of Encounter School’s Omaha campus, one of 45 locations offering the Catholic, biblically-based Encounter curriculum. He also serves as director of Ablaze House of Prayer. Both ministries are based on a rural property near Springfield.

More than 200 people have graduated from Encounter’s Omaha satellite program. The number of Encounter students worldwide has tripled in the last year, Father Voithofer said.

Encounter “draws from the richness of our Catholic heritage as we seek to teach, equip and activate disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit in their spheres of influence,” according to the school’s website.

According to Father Voithofer: “It’s a supernatural school that helps you live a supernatural lifestyle.”

The Summer Intensive seminar will be “a tremendous, tremendous invitation to your heart to ‘the more,’” he said.

People can go to the Ablaze website to register. The cost is $99, but those who register by July 4 can receive half off by using the promo code HALF. Anyone who registers can bring a friend for free.

“I just want to get people there,” Father Voithofer said.

Many people don’t fully realize their full spiritual potential, he said. “We see this swell of interest in the Church today of people wanting more.”

“It’s vital,” he said, “that each person realizes their own unique significance in the call that God put on their life.”

“He didn’t just die so we could get to Heaven. He died to put Heaven in us.”

Learning about his true identity and power in Christ has changed his life as priest and as a Christian man, he said. “It’s a tremendous adventure. I just wish everybody could experience what I’ve experienced.”

“There’s better, and there’s more,” Father Voithofer said. “But you have to be willing to take that step, to come and see.”

“All I can say is come, because I can tell you about it and what God’s done for me. But He doesn’t want you just to know what He’s done for me. He wants to do it for you.”
