Be still. Breathe deeply. Let the noise settle.
There is something beautiful about simply stopping and knowing that God is there, right with you in every moment.

“Be still, and know that I am God.”
Psalm 46:10

A place to slow down, rest, and encounter God.

Fatherheart Ministries – B School in Orama.
1st - 7th Nov 2026

It all began at Orama, a thin place where Jack Winter received the revelation that God’s Love is a literal substance. Here spiritual fathers and mothers sowed the seeds of Fatherheart Ministries, carried by James and Denise and given to us today.

The ‘B’ School is a one-week revelational adventure into the very heart of God. It builds upon the foundation laid during the ‘A’ School. The broken power systems and values of the societies in which we live are at best unsuccessful attempts to survive within a Father-less world. They are like the coping habits of orphans. In contrast, God is fully alive, utterly free from worldly limitation. God is perfect parental Love and it is for this reality that we have been created and redeemed. ‘B’ School is a doorway into God’s world, drinking from the wisdom flowing from God’s heart and experiencing the transformational power of perfect Love. ‘B’ School is an invitation to authentic seeing and living, an opportunity to experience the fullness of the Gospel.

Fatherheart Ministries – A School in Orama
25th - 31st Oct 2026

It all began at Orama, a thin place where Jack Winter received the revelation that God’s Love is a literal substance. Here spiritual fathers and mothers sowed the seeds of Fatherheart Ministries, carried by James and Denise and given to us today.

The ‘A’ School is a one-week revelational adventure into the Love of God. Together we discover that Father is our place to come home; a place to belong, a place of unreserved acceptance, a place of deep rest, where the strength and meekness of his Love is truly perfected in our weakness.

Through revelatory insight and sound Biblical teaching expressed through the lives of those who minister, ‘A’ School is an opportunity to actually experience the transformational power of his Love, Life and Freedom. Even as Jesus lives eternally within the abundance of Father’s divine affection, delighting to live as his child, ‘A’ School is an invitation into Jesus’ love relationship with Father, a reality we can thrive in from this day forth.

Set apart, on purpose.

The Way Discipleship School isn't just a place you go...
It's a season you're called into. Twelve weeks, set apart on Great Barrier Island, away from the noise, so you can hear more clearly. Deep friendships forged in the quiet. Character shaped by challenge. A faith that stops being something you know about and becomes something you live.

You won't leave with souvenirs. You'll leave changed.
