ApostleNet International Manifesto:
ApostleNet International is a growing network of pastors, churches, recognized and emerging apostles and prophets with other ascension gifts covenantally linked together to extend the Kingdom of God by bringing order and fruitful function to the Body of Christ in Australia and other nations.
Our ethos......
is not one of self-seeking or self-promotion but rather, with God's grace, serving one another through each one's unique gifts in the spirit of humility and boldness.
The model of ministry.....
We embrace and uphold as our goal that which is recorded and demonstrated in the book of Acts, particularly the churches of Antioch and Ephesus. Here we see the qualities of order, function, authority, discipleship, power and missions all displaying a broad worldview, a spirit of courage and sacrifice outworked in a spirit of generosity to see the Kingdom of God come, so the will of God could be done, not only in their location but the whole earth.
We believe.....
that the development, recognition, release and effective function of the five-fold ascension gifts is required to raise up powerful mission churches committed to - not church growth only - but the very essence of the Great Commission, ‘to disciple nations.'
The goal......
of this ministry is not only to build up leadership and churches but to multiply their effect by developing an infrastructure of multiplication within every local church by deliberate design and strategy: this being a process to cellularize the church to enable the transformation of individual believers into interdependent disciples so they can rise to their optimum fruitfulness in the Kingdom's mission.
