1. ABOUT RHEMA PROPHETIC ACADEMY

The Rhema Prophetic Academy (RPA) is the bible training arm of The Ewusie Brookman Ministries (EBM) where people are trained as spiritual soldiers and ambassadors of the Word of God. Anything that has to do with bible training in EBM must of necessity pass through the Rhema Prophetic Academy (RPA). The purpose of The Rhema Prophetic Academy (RPA) is to provide sound biblical and theological training, coupled with charismatic teachings for leaders, missionaries, teachers, evangelists, ministers, prophets and pastors who are motivated to serve God and be effective members in the Kingdom of God. In addition, every student of RPA must be ready at all times to display loyalty, honesty, dedication, discipline, integrity, holiness within and without, humility, readiness to serve, purity in words and deeds.  Briefly stated, our objectives are to give students:


    A thorough and systematic instruction of the word of God to provide a foundation for building life’s spiritual experiences.
    The ability to relate basic principles of the Bible to today living, to walk the spirit-filled life, and to know God’s voice.
    The preparation to fulfill the Divine Calling.
    The equipping needed to fulfill Jesus’ command to a)Go ye therefore, and teach all nations…’b) (Matt. 28:19) and the training and experience to be a leader.
    The vision of God’s restoration of his church and spreading the gospel of the kingdom to the ends of the earth.
    To prepare students for life management and to benefit the community as a whole.
    To train an end time militia (God’s anointed servants) for the lord Jesus. I.e. Raising the foundations of many Generations through the preaching of the Gospel of Grace and the demonstration of the spirit.

If a student is contemplating leaving Rhema Prophetic Academy before graduation, it is very important to find someone to talk to about it.  Please make an appointment with the leadership!  Even though the situation may seem hopeless in your eyes, it is remarkable how God can enlighten things when we seek His help. It is important for the leadership to know if such a situation has arisen.  Speak to the Rhema Prophetic Academy team!

Any student that desires to resign for whatever reason must provide advice of such in writing to the Registrar.  The Registrar will counsel with the student and then advise the Secretary and Treasurer of the resignation. Fees will be calculated up to and including installments for the month of resignation.  The minimum amount will always be the value of the application fee.
11.4.2 Forced Resignation

A student may be asked to resign if fees are in arrears exceeding 3-months, to avoid any embarrassment and to protect the student from further debt accumulation.  The student will be given a letter requesting them to resign unless the fees are settled in full with immediate effect.  A student may also be asked to resign if their conduct or behavior is deemed destructive to the ministry in any way, or constitutes harm to any other person or Bible School student, and/or as defined in the Code of Conduct.
