In the late 1970’s, June Barnard Ashworth was given the In the Spirit lessons in answer to a prayer about how to help the young women around her. These young women were from different denominations. All wanted help growing in their faith and in knowing how to apply Biblical principles to their personal lives. June studied diligently and asked pastors and leaders in her region to review and confirm the material the Lord gave her for biblical accuracy. June lovingly gathered these young ladies at her home in Plano, TX once a week and taught the Word. She also spent many hours praying with them over issues in their lives. She saw the Lord heal their hurts, set them free and draw them closer to Him.

At the end of the first year, she thought the gatherings were over, but that summer the Lord gave her the lessons for the second year, so she called her ladies, and they gathered again that fall. The same thing happened at the end of the second year, so a third year was added! Out of that first class came those who would later become ministry leaders, Bible teachers, pastors, intercessors, and those who pray with others.

Hundreds of women, men and teens have taken the course over the years, and their lives have been transformed by the power of the Word and the work of Holy Spirit. The course has been taught in several states, as well as overseas. It’s been taught in Houston, TX since 1987. Strategic Ministries Inc. (SMI) has continued the work that June began in Plano and has seen many women, men and teens move into a place of intimacy with the Lord, as He has not only revealed Biblical truths to their hearts, but also healed life hurts and set them free.

The purpose of the discipleship curriculum titled In The Spirit is to:

Hear and grow in understanding the full Word of God
Know His desire for us and His calling for our individual lives
Draw closer to the triune God and develop an intimate relationship with Him
Develop an abundant, dynamic, Christ-centered life
Be fully equipped to minister the love of Christ to others.
