Igniting Your Spiritual Gifts Training

March 11-12, 2026 
St. Benedict Center in Schuyler, Nebraska
  

But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort.  - 1 Corinthians 14:3

We believe that God is restoring the role of the spiritual gifts within the body of Christ. Words of encouragement, edification and comfort from the heart of the Father, spoken at the right time and in the right way to someone, can restore hope, rekindle faith, and reveal God’s preferred future for them. 

Whether you consider yourself a beginner in hearing God’s voice or you are more seasoned in this area, you are invited to join us for this training. The workshop will give you opportunities to build your confidence in your giftings and stretch your capabilities to a new level.

The hands-on training will be facilitated by Walter and Ida Cowart and others from God’s Living Stones Leadership Team. In a fun atmosphere, Walter and Ida take the teaching of scripture and make it practical, emphasizing principles that will allow you to serve others biblically and effectively in your everyday life. Watch Walter in this sample of his workshop teachings HERE.

In addition to the in-person workshop, one pre-workshop training and three follow-up practicums will be held online.

ABOUT YOUR TRAINERS: 

Walter and Ida Cowart are members of the God's Living Stones Leadership Team, ordained ministers, and senior trainers with Restoring the Foundations (RTF), a globally recognized healing and deliverance ministry. 

For many years, Walter owned a construction company, and Ida served as a teacher of both children and adults. Like many, they experienced the effects of life’s traumas—both large and small—which caused them to hide behind strong walls of protection – shutting out a meaningful relationship with Father God, with each other, and even with themselves. 

After personally receiving ministry through Restoring the Foundations, a deep healing process began within each of them. As their walls of pain were gently dismantled, a passion was born to help others experience the same healing and wholeness. Walter was trained through Christian International under Bill Hamon and carries a unique grace to activate spiritual gifts in believers, helping them grow in confidence to walk in their God-given calling.
