1. Despite lockdown due to pandemic, we speed up training for the upcoming revival
- The end-time is approaching, with great calamity and major revival coming up simultaneously. 611 Leadership Institute (GA Branch) has received the revelation to speed up training of workers, getting ready for the great end-time revival.
- Since 2020, 611 Leadership Institute has started its online broadcasting, serving 33 different locations worldwide. As the pandemic situation eases, our teaching staff has been taking turn to teach in classes while these classes are broadcasted online to other live stream points.
- Since the establishment of 611 Leadership Institute in 2018, we have bilingual translation during class. Now there are 7 languages including Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Japanese, Tagalog, Indonesian and French for morning devotion every day. Through bilingual translation in class, it is feasible for worldwide Leadership Institute to include their local languages such as Malay, Arabic, etc., in order to train up workers of all nations.
2. Based on the Fragrance of the Tree of Life
- In the past, many Spirit-renewed churches emphasized in pursuing revelation, gifts and anointing, signs and wonders for the purpose of Doing. Although they experienced the Holy Spirit, they still stayed in the level of revival, without transforming lives. It might even distort life nature (Being)
- The fragrance of the tree of life highly regards Being, the presence of God, the love of God and as a result, God’s attributes may be displayed. God accepts us just as we are, we may simply unleash our own Being. As long as our bible school students stay within the Tree of Life community where they receive discipleship and the core values, they will surely become end-times harvesters.
3. Brand new four major series

4. Internship "Beingized"
- Concept: In the past, internships were heavily weighted in collaboration with ministry ( “Doing”). The new stage of internships will combine with the development of “Being”.
- In such internship, different groups are formed in which no one has to take the lead but rather all the group members should have the same interest or direction in what they want to achieve as a group. And the outcome must be presented at the end.
5. Church Based
- Traditional theological seminaries are under the influence of Greek and Roman culture, mainly focusing on theological and academic research. In fact, many teachers in these seminaries lack actual pastoral and ministry experience. Henceforth, there is a widening gap between the workers whom churches expect to hire and the students under training in traditional seminaries.
- 611 Leadership Institute (GA Branch) uses the church as its training base. Not only are the teaching staff required to preach sermons, teach, and minister in the church, students can also verify that, what they have been taught in theory, they put into practice. Remarkadly, these trained workers meet the demands of the various church ministries.
6. Malaysia (Petaling Jaya) as the Location for the Training Institute
- Malaysia is a multicultural and multilingual country, with Islam as the main religion. It is strategically located at the Maritime Silk Road and is a strategic location for the leaders of Southeast Asia to gather and interact. Therefore, it will broaden the horizons and knowledge of the 611 Leadership Institute (GA Branch) students as they are involved in related voluntary activities.
- Malaysia is also the gateway for the Middle East missions.

The church has its foundation laid on apostles and prophets, and together, under the leadership of evangelists, pastors, and teachers, testifies to the mighty work and wonders of God all around for the purpose of equipping His people for works of service, so that the Body of Christ may be built up. (Ephesians 4:11-12)
10. MG12 Discipleship Consolidation
- The 611 Leadership Institute (GA Branch) differs from traditional seminaries that emphasize on academics. Instead, the Institute underlies the importance of classroom learning while leading G12 Cell Members in committing to the church vision and experiencing the journey in which Jesus led His twelve disciples. (Mathew 10:1)
- Realizing the ideal where, “everybody joins a Cell, everybody leads a Cell,” every Cell Leader assists each and every Cell Member in becoming Cell Leaders themselves, applying Biblical truths and advocating “the priesthood of all believers.” (1 Peter 2:9)

- Core Values of the Living Water: Spirit brings Scripture; Spirit brings Service; Spirit brings Sanctification.
- In addition, GA611 Branch also values the nurturing of the lives of the students.

Building upon it, we have our 12th core value, which is “Honors before Inheritance.”
