It's purpose is to make more people aware of this amazing ministry here through MySpace. All information stated was found at the official site for Streams Ministries International at www.streamsminstries.com (Unless otherwise noted). Also, I do not know John Paul Jackson's real age, so please disregard that information for now. Thank you!
Biographical Sketch - John Paul Jackson
For more than a quarter of a century, John Paul Jackson has served as an advisor, mentor, teacher, pastor, and friend to leaders and students around the world. Heads of state, governmental officials, corporate officers, and multiple international church authorities from all denominations have sought John Paul’s counsel. He has met with leaders in more than twenty countries, including U.S. senators and congressmen and officials in England, Scotland, Israel, Russia, Poland, Korea, and the Ukraine.
MINISTRY FOUNDER AND CHAIRMAN
In 1993 John Paul founded Streams Ministries International, a nonprofit ministry organization with a multi-disciplinary approach to help others fulfill the purpose for which they were created. Streams Institute for Spiritual Development, Streams Publishing House, Streams Music Group, Streams Internship Program, InterpretMyDream.com, Pinnacle Prayer Convergence International, Alliance of Relationship-based Ministries, and the Association of Bridge Churches have all blossomed out of John Paul’s recognition for God’s people to impact the world outside Church walls with God’s power, revelation, innovation, and sovereignty.
INSPIRATIONAL TEACHER
John Paul has sought to encourage, motivate, and equip believers in developing greater measures of God’s character, wisdom, maturity, and authority. In 1997 the Streams Institute for Spiritual Development was birthed to address this need. His premier course, The Art of Hearing God, has successfully graduated more than 30,000 students and continues to grow exponentially as new teachers are trained and Streams centers are established.
AUTHORITY ON DREAM INTERPRETATION
Requests for John Paul’s counsel on dream interpretation, especially from leaders, have increased significantly in recent years. John Paul’s vanguard approach to interpreting dreams arises from years of meticulous study of God’s Word, including every dream, vision, parable, and supernatural event recorded in it. Intricately detailed journaling, logging, interpretation, and research of more than 40,000 personal and shared dreams, visions, and experiences over the past 25 years have firmly established John Paul’s expertise in dream interpretation.
PROPHETIC EVANGELISM PIONEER
At the forefront of prophetic ministry for more than 25 years, John Paul Jackson understood that Jesus often drew people to Himself by using words of knowledge and prophetic revelation, and so Streams students are trained to use prophetic gifts to hear God for others. Armed with encouraging words, “spiritual readings,†and dream interpretation skills, students spill outside church walls and into coffee shops, malls, festivals, and neighborhood get-togethers. Prophetic evangelism has now become the means by which many other ministries touch the lives of thousands with God’s love.
DREAM TEAMS
Two of Streams Institute for Spiritual Development’s most popular courses are Course 201: Understanding Dreams and Visions and Course 202: Advanced Workshop in Dream Interpretation. Some graduates of these classes go on to participate in Streams dream and prophetic teams. A novel approach to engaging spiritual seekers, these trained teams have established their presence over the past three years at major events such as the Sundance Film Festival, the Super Bowl, and Mardi Gras.
