THE SCHOOL VISION: "To Inherit the Nations"
An ancient promise is being fulfilled in these days - a prophecy given to Abraham that his descendants would 'inherit the nations'. This is fulfilled through Christ as the manifest love of the Father transforms us into His likeness and we come into our Kingdom inheritance as beloved sons and daughters.
Psalm 2:7-8 was the call of the Father that touched our hearts and inspired the conception of this school at Orama on Great Barrier Island, New Zealand. A school to release men and women with a revelation and impartation of Father’s love, to the nations.
Each day we speak to those around us about our beliefs, through the way we live our lives and how we interact with others. What kind of God are we presenting?
The Inheriting the Nations School is a journey of the heart, offering students a solid biblical foundation and authentic experience of walking with God as Father, Son and Spirit. Our destiny is to become a people who bear the full image of God - no matter what the outward circumstances.
Our desire is that each student will leave this school with an unshakable sense of security in their place as God’s beloved child, having experienced for themselves the extravagant, overwhelming love of a true and good Father.
THIS, the world will flock to. This is the fulfillment of the ages. If you want to discover who you were truly born to be, then this school is for you.
James and Denise Jordan are the full-time directors of Fatherheart Ministries. Over the years they have served as church planters, Bible school lecturers, pastors and rehabilitation counselors. Having received the revelation of the Father's love through Jack Winter in 1979, their lives are now dedicated to imparting the love of the Father wherever they go. They have travelled the world many times over, ministering in more than 50 nations. James is a Biblical teacher and prophetic communicator. In these days he sees God revealing himself to us as Father in a way unprecedented since the time of the Apostles. Denise carries a unique revelation of the mother heart of God, and is also a gifted communicator. She ministers out of compassion and wisdom, and has a deep desire to see the Church receive an experience of the love of the Father that will bring them into a place of wholeness and healing.
In 2007, Ray and Eunice Risbridger made the big decision to sell their family home in Wales and journey to New Zealand to become part of the Fatherheart Team. They bring with them a wealth of ministry experience amongst the local churches in the UK, as well as years spent working with Mary Audrey Raycroft (TACF), training ministry teams and organizing conferences within the U.K. They have raised three lovely children and are proud grandparents to 10 grandchildren. Their heart is to see people transformed and released by the Father's love, discovering the joy of living as sons and daughters of Almighty God.

ORAMA CENTRE - WHAT TO EXPECT
Orama is situated on Great Barrier Island, 90 kms northeast of Auckland city. The main centre lies in a natural coastal valley, opening onto a beautiful bay. The surrounding hills are home to regenerating indigenous bush, mature trees and pastureland, with the sounds of Kaka, Pigeon, Tui and Morepork echoing through the valley. With no shopping malls, supermarkets or traffic jams, this is a place to get away with God without the distractions of everyday life.
The accommodation is simple, clean and comfortable - no ensuites!

THE SCHOOL - DAY TO DAY
The school days are full of variety, adventure and discovery, both spiritually and within our beautiful natural environment. Most mornings will be given to teaching, covering the various topics outlined in the curriculum. Afternoons are set aside for soaking, small groups, work duties or free time to relax and explore the bay. In the evenings we enjoy worship nights, movie nights, free time and chilled out fellowship with each other.
Each student will be part of a Small Group for pastoral care, prayer, questions and discussion. One to one ministry will be available with experienced counselors.
As the school is aimed at engaging your body, soul and spirit, there will be optional physical activities + training for those interested. All students are required to help with the day to day running of Orama: approx 2-3 hrs of work per day (washing up, food preparation, cleaning etc).
This is community living where Father’s love grows through relationship with one another - it’s a unique, challenging and fun place to grow together, work together, rest together, share together, learn together and worship together.
