opportunity. I want to thank Jacob and the entire church. When I say entire church at this point of

time, but if you are part of the two evenings, you have come to understand that when I mean church,

I meant it as not the Sunday evening gathering that happens at Inverness Pilgrim's Church Building,

but the six households that are gathering together in the Greater Vancouver area. Is that okay?

When we are talking about a church, we are talking about a community of disciples,

and these communities of disciples are growing up in the teachings of Jesus. How do they grow up in

the teachings of Jesus? They learn the teachings of Jesus. They live out the teachings of Jesus,

and they teach the teachings of Jesus, and by one another, they grow to become a true authentic

family of Christ, exhibiting Christ to the watching world. And while they're exhibiting

Christ to the watching world, the whole picture of Christ is painted by this community. And as we

are painting this wonderful picture of Christ to the community, people are getting attracted and

saying, hey, this is the family that I want to be part of. This is the life that I want to live.

And that we would be able to create that in Greater Vancouver. That's when the true mission

for which a church exists begins. Why does the church exist? God is setting apart a people,

a community for himself, for all eternity. And the reason he's setting apart a community for

himself for all eternity is that we would be his people. That he would be our God. We would be his

people. He would come and dwell amongst us, and his presence will be so manifest amongst us. And

not only that, that we would be his people, that we will cooperate with him and collaborate with him

to set apart more people for himself for all eternity. That means six households can't remain

six households forever. That means if you truly participate in the mission of the church,

and truly participate in the mission of God, right from the beginning in the garden till the end in

Revelation chapter 22, you see the same thing. That there will be more people that are set apart

Revelation 22 · chapter mention

for himself for all eternity. Because the purview of God is that none should perish,

but all should come to repentance. That none would be lost to the deception of another father

who's a liar. They are all God's children because they originated out of the will and the plan and

the pleasure of God. Every human being born. But they're deceived that they have the option and

the choice to follow one of the two fathers. One father is a liar, and he wants to deceive. He

wants to kill. He wants to destroy. He wants to take life away. There is death that is ordained

through him. And the life that you can live under that father is sure death and eternal. But this

father offers life and life abundance. That's the whole picture that is at play. And here,

God is setting apart six households in the beginning to be an Antioch type base along

with an apostolic leader such as Jacob and a team that God is actually building up with Jacob

for a worldwide mission. And that's the starting premise at which we are actually looking into the

seven important aspects from the New Testament of what we are trying to call as the way of Christ

and his apostles. In other words, it's called church-based apostolic missions. And so we are

outlining CBAM and we are taking the base as...

We have an apostolic team.

Aisha?

Who's in charge of the markers?

This?

Tonight, if you can see through this and throw some out.

And here is an apostolic team in the making, Jacob and his team.

We still do not know the full picture of what this is going to be. But we know that there is a man

ordained of God and we have seen evidence over a period of time. How many years you have seen

Jacob leading this? 14 years now. You've seen him over a considerable period of time to recognize

that this man has giftedness from God that Christ has given that is beyond the local church.

That's the only thing that I want to define apostolic at this point of time is that there

is giftedness in the person that helps this person along with a team go beyond the local church

to be involved with many local churches, not just in one locale, but is able to transcend

geographical regions and is able to progress the gospel plan churches and multiply them across a

larger, wider area than the Greater Vancouver. And that's the reason why we are able to recognize

Jacob as an apostolic leader. And it's important that we continue to do as churches and elders of

the churches that we continue to support and continue to lay our hands on. In fact, the Antioch

Church laid hands on. And therefore it's very strange that an apostolic leader may be the one

who's actually teaching it and investing into a local church, but the local church actually rises

up with their elders and then lays hands on the apostolic team. It's a very important partnership

that goes on between local churches, which are authentic. When I say local churches,

it's not congregations, it's not denomination, structured institutionalized Christianity,

religion that we follow. No, these are authentic Christ communities that are led by

wise elders who have spiritually matured. They are age-wise matured, they are gift-wise matured and

experience matured and they lay hands on Jacob and say, Jacob, we know that you have invested your

time, energy, money into this six house churches, which are an Antioch base in greater Vancouver.

It is time that we recognize that we would be able to rise up and yes, we need your help and

continuous input, but we would actually be a support base for you to go on this apostolic mission. And

whoever you need as people from this base will be given to you whatever is needed at this point

of time for the progression of the gospel will be given to you. We want you to continue to do what

Christ has called this team to do that has riced up from this Antioch base. And therefore, we have

this settled with six households that are networked together. And this is a network of churches

in greater Vancouver

that is partnering along with an apostolic team. And this is the purview with which we are going to see

the seven important things. Okay, I'm actually taking from the New Testament, but at the same time

going to be intertwining it with a plan of what Christ wants for us as a church to. So number one,

the apostolic team usually has been given a sphere to offer.

Now what we would call as an apostolic map.

I don't know whether Jacob has shown you the apostolic map that is that a place that we can project

that you have a sense of an idea where God is calling Jacob and a team to be ministering across

the different geographical regions of the world. Can we project it so that okay, so let's go to

second Corinthians and chapter 10 I started off with this and we couldn't proceed further for

past two days, or we hope to proceed second Corinthians chapter 10, verse 13, and verse 14,

2 Corinthians 10:13

and then verse 15 to 16, Paul is still struggling with the Corinthian church. Corinthian church is

a church that Paul has established. He's the apostolic leader over the church. It's a network

of churches in the region of Corinth. There are sins that have plagued the church. There are many

questions and divisions and a lot of things that are happening. But now there are other apostles

that have come which are called the super apostles who are not really bringing the right teaching and

cooperating with Paul, but they are actually bringing a strange teaching and there is an

overemphasis of spiritual gifts to the under emphasis of love which is the essence of the

churches. And so Paul is writing first Corinthians chapter 12, chapter 13, chapter 14. Yes, you can

1 Corinthians 12 · chapter mention

speak in tongues, but I speak in tongues more than all of you guys. We can prophesy, but what you are

doing in churches is disorder and what is happening is that you are losing out the essence on which the

church must be built, which is love. And then he goes on to say love is patient, love is kind,

love is all of those things. And he comes to the end and then goes on to the second Corinthians and

he keeps emphasizing you can have a thousand guardians, but you cannot have an apostolic

father such as me because I gave birth to you guys. It's important that you follow me.

Follow what I'm bringing as an important revelation into the body. And I'm going to

introduce you to the second Corinthians chapter 10. And then he goes down to the second Corinthians

2 Corinthians 10 · chapter mention 2 Corinthians 10 · chapter mention

chapter 10 and he talks about how there are arguments and there are strongholds that are

rising up against and it's been destroyed. The strongholds are destroyed because our weapons

or warfare are not carnal. We pull down every stronghold, we pull down every

pretension that rises itself up. And then he goes on to talk about fear and he's not talking

it out of a direct reference, but in all these contexts he is actually giving this idea. And so

let's read the second Corinthians chapter 10 verse 13 and then verse 15 and 16. I'm reading for you.

2 Corinthians 10:13

We however will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the sphere of

service God himself has assigned to us. The sphere that also includes you Corinthian church.

Then I read verse 15 and 16. Neither do we go beyond our limits by boasting of work done by others.

Our hope is that as your faith continues to grow, our sphere of activity among you will greatly

expand so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. For we do not want to boast

about work already done in someone else's territory. And therefore in a side note,

it's not the main point that Paul is talking about, but while he is defending his apostleship,

he is saying, guys there is a sphere, there is a field that God himself has assigned to us as an

apostolic team. And therefore we got to understand that God assigns, God assigns.

So

what Paul is saying is this field includes you Corinthian church.

Therefore if Jacob would come and say, guys, God has assigned a field to this team.

This mission needs to continue beyond this place, but that field includes greater Vancouver.

And that if you guys do extremely well, if you guys do extremely well, then God will give us

the capacity to increase the field. So you read that portion of scripture, verse 15 and 16. Neither

do we go beyond our limits by boasting of work done by others because there are other apostolic

leaders that are having fields too. There are other apostolic leaders that are having fields too. And

we may intersect with other apostolic leaders in different places and across the countries and

across the nations. Others have fields assigned by God to them, but you Corinth church, you actually

belong to our field. Then he goes on to say, our sphere of activity among you will greatly expand

so that we can preach the gospel and regions beyond you. While our hope is that your faith

continues to grow. As the greater Vancouver's faith continues to grow, we have the greater

capacity to expand this field that God has given us or assigned to us.

Any questions?

Your base here growing is critical to the expansion of what God is going to do through the

mission of the apostolic team. There's an apostolic team right here. There's a network of churches

as you continue to grow, as your faith continues to grow, that's going to be almost directly

proportional to the sphere growth in the rest of the world. And that's what Paul is trying to say.

All that we can get is two important main principles. Number one, there is a sphere

assigned by God to apostolic teams. Number two, it really, really includes churches.

And as the churches in the local churches, the network of churches begin to grow and be established

in the faith and as they begin to expand in their own locations and locality, it gives the apostolic

team credibility. It gives apostolic team with resources and resources is not finances.

Resources is primarily is about people who will be able to rise up from within the local congregation

to join teams and sub teams to fill and replenish the entire field that God has given.

Put the picture on that.

We need to include New York. The old picture.

You have Vancouver, you have Cardiff, you have what is that?

You have Baran, you have Chennai there and or Nandigama. You represent Nandigama or Chennai.

One of Chennai, Brazil, Hanoi, Hong Kong.

Okay and these are not just dots out there. These are regions that

that Jacob believes that God has assigned the apostolic team to be operating in.

Are you getting the picture or?

Okay.

Multiply and replenish the earth. And so when it comes to Chennai out there, there would be

this partnership, the circles that are intersecting amongst apostolic leaders and at one point of time,

if you truly are establishing people in the right teaching and the same teaching,

there will be seamless flow between one another. Maybe there are some personality clashes that may

rise up like Apollo and Barnabas. It would be very human but if we are truly establishing them in the

way of Christ and his apostles or if we are truly establishing them in the teaching delivered by the

spirit through the apostles, that is from Jesus, that is from the New Testament, there shouldn't be

any because myself and Jacob when we operate in certain places that we co-labor together,

no issues. You can just halfway through what he's teaching, I can just stand up and continue on

because it's almost a sane thing. Maybe we use a little different vocabulary and it's perfectly fine

if it's a different vocabulary but it's almost the essence of it is the same and then you see

that there is greater unity and oneness that is developing across the churches, across the world

where that true plea of Christ before he ascended in John chapter 17,

John 17 · chapter mention

oh that they may be one even as we are one. Father and son are one, that beige also be one so that

the world will know that the father sent the son and therefore the true understanding of how the

gospel is made known to the world is only through this family of love that is bringing about this

oneness and unity because we are one in that teaching and if you really follow John chapter

John 17 · chapter mention

17 to the T you would actually come to this understanding we don't belong to this world,

we are being taken from this world and we are sanctified by the truth, the word is truth

and then sent into this world. Therefore the way by which we have to be in sync is in the truth

and being sanctified by the truth which is the faith, this is the faith that we need to be growing

in, which is the teachings that we need to be growing in, what is the truth that sets you free,

it's the teachings of Christ that sets us free. We have the same spirit that is in operation,

we have the same truth that is in operation and because of the truth lived out in our life we are

able to reflect the nature of Christ as a beautiful picture not as an individual. The greatest problem

of Christianity is we have followed the way of the world and the way of the world is individuals

and therefore I need to be projecting Christ, no you cannot project Christ, it's the body that

projects Christ together and if we shift our understanding from individuals wanting to serve

Christ and being impact for the kingdom that's the greatest challenge even with all of the

parishes and all of the ministries and Christian ministries it's about the individual I want to

impact the world for Christ. Sorry that is not the New Testament, you are not supposed to be

impacting the world for Christ. We as a community need to impact the world for Christ and it can't

be done as an individual, the more we try we project the world's order of man and more and more and

that's why ministries and Christian ministries with individual giftedness rejected as super super

guys are going to be detrimental to the way of Christ.

It's this communities

and these apostolic teams come in form those communities and fade away.

They are like a crescendo that comes in as an effect, yes they have their impact, they have

all of that and then they fade away, they are not there, they are not the mainstay.

The communities become the mainstay, true love becomes the mainstay, the truth sanctified

through life lived out becomes the mainstay, good lives become the mainstay, good works become the

mainstay or good families and authentic families become the mainstay and good news that is shared

through good lives, good works, good homes becomes the mainstay that that is the beauty of what Christ

has revealed.

Now it's all opposite, I have done extremely well in business, see me what God has done,

what the good good father has done in me and he will do that for you, that is the push of the

Christian world today. See my ministry, what God can do through me, God can do through you too as

an individual, sorry that's not found in the New Testament.

So Jacob is not the highlight of Greater Vancouver, Jacob has come and slogged 14 years to build the

six households, it's time that we shift into the way of Christ, these six communities actually

become the beauty of Christ revealed to the world, to the watching world. It's how you interact with

the community in your own neighborhood, that is going to be the mainstay, that is going to be the

main focus, that's going to be the beauty of Christ revealed. While Jacob fades,

yeah Jacob's fat goes thin but would come only on July 17th and up here, July 17th.

That's Jacob's day, Memorial Day.

In India it would be called Jacob Jayanti.

You're getting the idea? Well the first idea we got to understand is that we have a field offered

to Jacob and a team, that field does not belong to Jacob alone, that field's ownership is taken by

the initial Antiochian church base until we have other bases come because there may be a sharing

of this load and co-working that can take place amongst the various bases across the city,

across the nations but at this point of time our responsibility is that we would say we are with

you Jacob and commission you to do what God has handed over as a field. Are you getting the idea

of the field? And therefore in order to see this field, one of the things that we were clarifying

more and more is that Jacob although has an origin from within the nation of India, the field

seems more of non-Indian ethnos, like how Peter would be to the Jews and Paul to the Gentiles,

not that Peter would not do anything about the Gentiles or Paul would not do anything about the

Jews but the shift or the emphasis would be a certain kinds of people, a certain kind, one of

the things that we've been discussing and thinking about is that the main essence of where Jacob would

be operating is a non-Indian kind of people, kind of people groups. As we go on those things will

become more and more clear about the field. So this is work in progress, this is initial revelation,

this is something that we have initial small little specs that God is giving us with regards to the

the field that this entire church will be involved in. Are you getting it? Am I making sense? I need

to have some questions from you to clarify a little better, if not it's going to be, I do not know

whether you're getting it. That's true?

Get me two questions that will help me understand how much you're getting.

It's working? You're getting it? May you have any questions? Steven, Derek,

Mark, who's going to the leaders? Dano, who else should I, Heidi?

Any questions? Not yet, let's go on. So there's a sphere to operate, there's an apostolic map

and we have put this apostolic map. For us, at this point of time the sphere is

the

all that the Assemblies of God as a denomination can think about is who is the

district superintendent, who is the secretary, and that is the leadership and now you are a local

church and therefore you don't have apostolic understanding within the Assemblies of God. In

fact, you've got to understand when there was a straying of this new movement called the

Apostolic Reformation that Wagner started, North American Assemblies of God wrote a paper saying

we don't subscribe to the Apostolic. Because of the abuses and excesses that were found in that

movement of the Apostolic Reformation, they call it the NAR. I don't know what this stands for but

it's a new apostolic Reformation, NAR. It was a group of people there and so Assemblies of God

rejected it in that sense. So sometimes it's the greatest challenge because we at this point of

time would have under one church now as an apostolic team would plant Assemblies of God churches,

would plant non-Assemblies of God churches, would cooperate with any denomination

because the church and the network of churches has accountability to the Assemblies of God but

the apostolic team is not Assemblies of God. There's a little, we confuse everything now

and that's why we call it complex apostolic network of churches. It's very complex.

And so for example the places that the Spirit of God will prevent Paul from entering, he's actually

starting his second missionary journey. He would want to go into Cappadocia, he would want to go

and the Spirit of God would prevent him and then take him on to Philippi and then go on to Ephesus.

While those places that the Spirit of God prevents Peter to enter in, you see that Peter when he's

writing his letters, he has a set of places. So let's go to 1 Peter chapter 1 and verse 1.

1 Peter 1 · chapter mention

You see very strangely that those are the places that Paul was prevented to go by the Spirit.

That is an assignment to Peter and his field. So 1 Peter chapter 1, the set of people that Peter is writing to.

1 Peter 1 · chapter mention

Those who are elect exiles of dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,

according to the full knowledge of God. So this is a field assigned to Peter and he's writing to them.

Paul has assigned a field and he's writing to them. John is at the end of it, is actually taking Paul's

network because he is at least 30 years beyond Paul and he's writing to the seven churches by

the assignment. He's writing Revelation chapter 2 and 3. He's writing to a circular letter to seven

Revelation 2 · chapter mention

churches out there and these seven churches are written the same materials from Revelation chapter

Revelation 4 · chapter mention

4 to 22. But the covering letter is what is for each church specific. Each church specific

assessment of what Jesus is thinking about the church in Ephesus, church in Philadelphia,

church in Sardis. And these are the churches that were started out of Ephesian base that Paul stayed

for two to three years, night and day, in the hall of tyrannous. And these are the churches that

have started out of his work in three years. And now John is actually overseeing those network of

churches and he's writing to the seven churches on the Asia Minor. It is a road. You start in one

place, you can actually follow the same road and that's how they carried those letters. Messengers

carried those letters and they gave a covering letter specific to the church and then a general

material from Revelation chapter 4 to 22. So this is a field assigned to Peter which was

Revelation 4 · chapter mention

predominantly Jewish. And so in certain places like Antioch where the network actually intersected or

spheres intersected, there was clashes because Paul and Peter would have clashes based on

dice. Because Peter is more oriented to the Jews and Paul is more oriented to the Gentiles that

Paul would bring the Gentile concerns. And where the Gentiles and Jews are mixing up when two

apostolic leaders are there, that Paul had to confront Peter and say, hey guys, this is not

the gospel. You are trying to downsize and tailor make it only for the Jews. You are so frightened

of the Jews. He goes to Galatia which is predominantly taken over by Jewish kind of Christianity that he

is saying, guys, when I first came to you and opened up the gospel that is more to the Gentiles,

also included, who has be pitched to you? Why is that you are becoming more and more Jewish in your

orientation and following what you touch and see? No, that is not the gospel that I brought in.

You're getting the ideas?

Mark, any questions? Shall we go on to the second one? So in the field that God has assigned,

they went about the great commission that Jesus commissioned them.

Now what did Jesus commission them? To go into all the world and make disciples of all nations.

Go make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit,

teaching them to observe all things that which I have commanded.

So they bent, they were not able to do that.

They made disciples by baptizing them. Those who accepted the gospel were baptized and included

into the community because the idea of baptism is not a Baptist idea of dipping someone in the water.

The idea of baptism is that when someone comes to Christ, he is actually saying from now on,

I don't belong to the world community, but I am actually immersing myself in water.

Water rite that was so prevalent in the Middle Eastern world where they dipped themselves in and

said from now on I subscribe to this rabbi. From now on I subscribe to this person alone

and they belong to that community. So they have rabbinical schools. Jesus is saying,

you got to follow my teachings to the T and now you're baptized to be part of my community.

Therefore this idea of the great commission is to evangelize them with the gospel which is the

good news of Jesus Christ and when they come they are baptized into a community and this community

becomes a learning, living and teaching community. That is what Paul and Peter and

all the apostles in the through the book of Acts continue to do and if you really see the

cycle that comes as they did not just evangelize in every place. They evangelized and made sure

that they were strategic in nature. So they evangelized strategic cities. They established

and through baptism and teaching established

local churches. While there were people who were established in the local church they were developed

and matured in order to identify potential leaders and appoint them as elders and they entrusted it

to elders and the apostolic team continued to do this cycle again and again which is the great

commission cycle or David Heselgrave calls it the Pauline cycle because Paul it's very clear in the

book of Acts through Acts chapter 13 verse 1 to 14 28. You see this Pauline cycle in place in the

Acts 13:1–14

first missionary journey. You see the same thing happen in the second missionary journey.

You see the same thing happen with Philip going into Samaria or a panabas after something the

spirit does goes into Antioch. Same cycle happens. They evangelized strategic places.

They established local churches. They entrusted to elders and therefore after we have had the

field if you really see Paul's field. Paul's field is the then known Gentile world. It was not

primarily Jerusalem but Antioch became the base.

And so you see the Roman world it's Antioch.

From here three small places of Iconium, Lystra, Derby. He goes to Philippi.

He goes into Philippi then into Thessalonica,

Barai and this becomes the Macedonian network of churches.

And you come into Corinth and Athens and becomes the Achaean network of churches.

Then he hits Ephesus with 11 other churches on that circular road

and it becomes the Ephesian network of churches.

And Paul is hell bent on being arrested even though arrested in Jerusalem. He is hell bent on going to Rome.

And this is Paul's map. It was Paul's field and he hits strategic locations. So there were four major

strategic cities of the Roman world. Antioch on the eastern side, Philippi, Corinth, Ephesus, Rome.

These are five. Philippi because it was on the northern front of the Roman world. They made sure

that they had the army containment there on the northern side and the Macedonian regions became

very important for defending the northern side. Corinth was like the business capital. It would

be like Mumbai of India or if it's Canada which would be the business capital.

Which is the political capital?

Toronto. So that would be more like the Rome of Canada.

So that would be the business that may be spread across. But these are strategic locations. So if we

really take Canada as a whole, there are strategic locations that we may have to do. So when God

spoke to us in 2015 about it was a very strange process. 2012 there was a man whose name was

Lorenzo who came brought in by my friend whose name was Prem Nath and he came to preach in our

church. He couldn't preach. I was so disappointed with him because he stood up and he was trying to

say something and here is a big service that is going on and suddenly I felt like I was almost

because my friend also had come in between. I spoke to him and said I think the next time you please

let me know whether a guy can preach before you bring them to the church. And so at the end of it

he said I'm sorry the spirit of God really wanted me to deliver this word only and sit

but because of the pressure of preaching I had to preach. And so I'll read to him read to you what

at the end of maybe 15-20 minutes of scrambling through its notes and not able to preach he said

this is what the spirit of God wanted me to write this morning. I saw a picture and he wanted me to

deliver this to you. A great great lake vast in size abundant with resources a beautiful resting

place a powerful providing place providing drinking water for many. This was like the peak

2012 was a peak where the English service was growing and we had shifted from three services

to five services because the congregation was like flooding in. We had already set up a new

place on top wonderful beautiful air-conditioned place with a lot of media equipment in it and

then I saw a stirring on the waters which became a mighty swirling mighty clouds gathered and the

wind began to blow mightily thunder and lightning the waters rose and thrashed about and suddenly

overflowed their banks and began to flow out of out to other places. This lasted for a while until

the lake was half full then the sky cleared and the sun shone and a great peace a calm came over

the whole lake. There were fresh trees with new fruit and new birds singing new songs and new

people enjoying the lake. God had done a new thing for his great glory and then I looked beyond the

lake and where the water had flowed what once was dry and dead ground had come to life because the

water from your lake had brought the gospel and God's kingdom to places that previously were dead.

God told me that he has heard the cry of the dry and dead land and he would save them and give them

life and he has chosen you to bring them what they need. My own feeling is that God will use this

church in middle east to accomplish things for him that even governments have not been able to

accomplish. When our Lord Jesus tells us to do something for him why do we not simply obey and

do exactly what he tells us? We obey because the Lord needs it and then he closed the iPad and he

sat down and I was disappointed because he said the lake will be half full because half the lake

will disperse. I did not give attention to this prophetic word. 2015 we were playing together

as a team asking God what we must be doing and then God dropped in two important statements. One

was we had no idea what black maps were and black maps was something that came out to me while we

were praying. The other prophetic word that came while we were praying together as a team was one

of the team members said where Satan is causing the maximum havoc that's where my greatest harvest

is going to be in the next season. So I go into the office, google out black maps and what throws

out was the shocking thing which was the black maps of ISIS. If you really see the black maps

of ISIS, it's the eastern Europe, it's central Asia, northern Africa, it goes all the way into

into Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and it moves into Malaysia, Singapore down to Jakarta, Indonesia.

So all of this is what is called as Islamic Caliphate that they wanted to establish and they

were at the peak of it when in 2015 and God said this is one of the regions that we want you to

work as a as an apostolic team and then in response to that. But then Jacob comes into

into our church and there is a guy whose name is Theo. Theo, he halfway through the service he's

saying Theo your ship is parked, is anchored, there is a storm that is coming to your life

unless you pull out the anchor you will not be you will be destroyed and so remove your anchors

and be ready for sail. And then Theo goes through a major storm that happens and it all comes together

in 2016 that we say God if this is the region that God wants us to do what is the strategic

location that we need to hit and then we decide Dubai would be a strategic location that would

help reach out into central Asia, into eastern Europe, into northern Africa and the middle eastern

regions and that's the reason why we sent you and Falong to go into Dubai to be starting out.

And while we are talking right now that this is the first mission trip after three years the

church has become four households in Dubai that are meeting together in four different places

and are gathering together on a Friday for one-mindedness and now this church is slowly

taking up this cause of central Asia and have gone on a first mission trip into Kazakhstan.

So when you're talking about these things you're talking about authentic communities

you're not talking about great things that you're doing it's not about big meetings and you can

flash out in the social media no these are simple things about how small communities of Christ

are catching up the vision of what God wants us to do and move into strategic locations to do

this four-line cycle or what is called as the great commission cycle again and again and again.

So that's my second thing. While we have a field we identify strategic locations we know the timings

of the Lord we move to those locations and we do Pauline cycle or the great commission cycle

which is evangelizing strategic cities establishing local churches entrusting to elders and therefore

in those locations there are times for example even before you evangelize there are times that

we need to really work on with regards to pre-

Thank you.

Who's water in charge?

Who's water in charge?

You're getting the idea we have a field and after that we have a field we are in sync with the

spirit to understand when and where is the first place so for example it's not like Paul

after he finished in Coneyallister Derby his next progression was more Ephesus or somewhere in this

area but the spirit of God would not allow and take him to a Macedonian call and if you really

read Philippians letter you see that these guys were strategic partners right from the beginning

till the very end and so it's not about what we want although that doesn't mean that Paul was

just seated in Antioch and waiting and waiting and waiting no Paul was moving Paul was moving

but the spirit of God will open and close doors and will lead sometimes what we think is strategic

may not be the timing of the Lord sometimes what we think is what we need to do next is so for

example we wanted to we have chosen what is called the new Roman road which is within India

and it's called the golden quarter lateral okay Chennai Mumbai Delhi and Kolkata would be the

strategic locations within India that we need to really replenish these communities so that the

cities will be taken but so we were making our road into Mumbai and hitting into Mumbai

we felt that that's the next strategic city that God spoken had spoken in 2003 about Mumbai being

one of the second cities that I would be living and dwelling in as I was moving towards that

the there was a great great opposition with regards to the assemblies of God

church pastor there and the leader there he said if you come in we are going to complain all over

in the denomination and he opposed vehemently he said we are not doing an assembly we will not use

our brand name because he was saying there's a big church coming in and therefore that NLAG brand

will spoil all the work that we have done and everyone would go to your church and therefore

we don't want you to come while we were actually pressing and confused about this opposition

the spirit of God said Pune just open up in Pune and you see Pune Pune is just all the churches

are concentrated on the camp area which is the old Pune but Pune has grown massive because of the IT

that has been happening out there and therefore in 2018 last year we started out in Pune and in a

place called Banner and when you're starting a church we're not thinking about music we are

not thinking about worship leaders we are not thinking about who's going to be doing just three

people last year June 10th three people Ramin rich family a young couple who are true family to me

along with Jerry who was part of our team Jerry was sent along with these three people started

out in a home and this is actually a growing and it grew out of the home into a larger space that

we had to hire up a hall on a Sunday but there is a household that meets together in Praveen

Richard's house and while we were still doing that God was speaking about another church in

30 kilometers away and this so even before this church is fully established and growing and

self-sufficient this church has planted another church and when you're thinking of a church plant

we are not thinking about how do we have a worship leader how do we have a space how do we have

speakers how to know this is about another house

and there are two churches and around 70 people who are out there in a year's time not great

success stories but true authentic loving communities and I believe that we will be able to

saturate and fill whole of Pune and the approach that God has given strategically is to not come

into camp because the moment you come into camp the greatest opposition will be from the religious

Christianity and therefore you actually hit in all the corners of where the IT world has been

planting huge buildings and IT offices and are inviting all of India to come and live and work

there. You hit strategic locations, evangelize, establish Christ communities which are authentic,

truly established in the teaching and you raise up leaders and elders and appoint them

and you continue to do continue to replenish.

Long haul and sometimes you can't measure everything on the way. It's not about measuring success in this

it's about measuring of whether this is true communities that's our only measure

through communities that would impact society.

Questions?

Questions are arising now.

So it's not about major investment that we need to when we think of New York it's not a we need

we need a family we need a few families.

So we

um the Jerry who was sent is um Jerry was someone that I started off he was in the Saturday afternoon

community that I was investing in in 2010. Uh 2012 this family actually shifted because of work

to Chicago but I would not I would not leave them in a sense like I I would check on whether they

are going to come back so it was like a short period of four years in Chicago and therefore

anytime I flew into North America Chicago would be my place where I put my bags. Their home is where

I would stay continue to pursue Jerry and Zesha continue to invest into them and sometimes we have

our Saturday afternoon groups at the two three of three three thirty which means Chicago time is

like four thirty in the morning and sometimes winter times in Chicago Jerry and Zesha would have

all kinds of winter clothing on them and sit in front of Skype to be or zoom call to be part of

this process never allowed them to stay away from the teaching at one point of time they had to come

back when they came in they were in sync with what was happening at the base floored in and at the at

one point of time asked Jerry Jerry would you uh I I think there is a call of God upon him Jerry would

say I want to hear God I want to hear God if I have to make the move and I would say it's not about

hearing it's about believing and following and so he left a very high paying job to be joining

with the team and within the next year he was part of the OMR church plant and growing and investing and

Raffol was part of that congregation or part of the households there and Jerry

I asked Jerry hey there's a immediate need to go to Pune would you go

Zesha was pregnant and they asked that after they deliver in three months time I'm not talking to you

after they deliver three months time Zesha said give me three months time I would be willing to move

and they went to Hong Kong oh they went to Pune oh sorry

okay

but Jerry is a highly invested tenure tenure project

uh

highly invested relationship I walked Richard down the aisle to get her married because of her family

rejected that they would not stand with her she was from a Hindu background so it was like a father

to her who walked I I interviewed the guy who she wanted to marry and gave him a hard time before

getting married and now that's the relationship so whenever I went to Pune I lived in the house

ate with it so it's a combination of an invested leader uh proven which I have not invested on a

leadership leadership but as a invested in a relationship because they always lived far away

from me but there was a click out there and then the church starts and then you see 70 people

blossoming out and the greatest joys you go there you it's not it's not you but you have invested

into some people's lives you have strategically understood and it's not apostolic leaders work

when Jerry last time he came and asked this new place in Karate there was another guy who was

grooming up well and then suddenly he pulled himself off and went off to another place we

were talking about how there is a spirit that is at work in that location that does not allow

the stability of the churches and so then Jerry is asking so give us insight give us insight

say Jerry you pray you get more insight but we will come and stand alongside and so I've committed

myself for the next two times within this year to be going along with Jerry and a team to be praying

to dismantle certain things Jacob has been praying and feeding in certain aspects of what needs to be

dismantled and therefore it is also when when you just before pre-evangelism of a certain place an

area there's also spiritual dismantling of of what do you call you have a terrorized tea

okay tame nations tyrannize the rulers so there are certain activities that go before it to

dismantle certain spiritual forces of darkness and there are certain times when

like last year or last year we went into utharkand which is on the top mountains

there are four important it's called the char dhams where the rulership of this nation of india is

out there so when modi has to actually be elected he goes there before being elected he before the

parliament starts he goes there and that's where and so we go there to unplug certain things

it's a war it's it's truly strategic war

over territories and nations and nations

is

that okay can we go on thirdly we got to equip a whole leadership base

and all of these needs are whole set of leaders and there are two new testament leadership

types that are needed for this to work

so while you are doing the while you are doing the poline cycle or the great commission cycle

you are in this space where there are establishing the local church and entrusting to elders you are

beginning to identify potential leaders

you would call l2l3s

and these l2l3s that you identify and while they are identified you are looking into certain

aspects so i'm just going to lay down certain things that i look for number one and it's and

it's part of the teaching in the scriptures too they have a desire to serve that's the first thing

do they have a desire to serve number two they are making themselves available not forced and

forced and forth they are making themselves available for every opportunity to be invested into

they have a desire to serve they're making themselves available for investment into their

lives they're beginning to number three they are beginning to grasp the teaching and are making

church central to their life and family their life does not revolve around their work their

life does not revolve around their family no their life is revolving around christ community

in which they are rallying and managing their work they are rallying and managing their family

to actually make church central to their life's plan they're beginning not that they are mastered

that they are already doing they're beginning to grasp the teaching and are making church

central to their life and family number four they are managing their own families well unable to

extend their relationship beyond their individual family

they're managing their own families well able to extend their relationship beyond their family

number five they are people who show early signs of influence

and are beginning to be respected by more than their own family within the household

so

they have a desire to serve they're making themselves available for investment into their lives

they're beginning to grasp the teaching and are making church central to their life

and family they're managing their own families well and are able to extend their relationship

beyond their family they are people who show early signs of influence and are beginning to

be respected by more than their own family these are our potential leaders

and we have a base of potential leaders that we begin to work

with

yeah you you've got the idea of the l2 and l3 that we are beginning to they're beginning to emerge

while they are beginning to emerge we have to slowly identify what

we we don't have to name them immediately we don't have to one of the things that we have

understood is that we can't lay hands on and commission them too quickly because we see them

through a period of time before we recognize their service rather than he's my favorite so he's a

leader no or he's is someone that is showing giftedness alone some people show a lot of

giftedness but have not built the character base with it and therefore we have to be

make sure that we do our sam well with them spiritual formation

which is the character base

academic skills

what do we mean by academic skills academic skills is that their ability to master

scripture

master culture and are able to bridge scripture to context and culture

to provide

the mind of christ solution

and therefore the church must i would say jacob's teaching on sunday evenings with his sporadic

visits is not going to be the way by which we have an academic skill developed amongst the potential

leaders because this needs to be ongoing continuous layer on layer a pathway to the

of a pathway that needs to be truly laid over a period of two to three years where where where

spiritual formation is is very much of a mentoring and and shaping up of life and character but

the academic skills is a process that at least three to five years of a very clear pathway led

within our churches to to really master scriptures so so at one point why i

you at one point of time you must be able to score through and at this point of time i can

tell i can score through new testament left right and center amongst all of the

gospels and the epistles the 27 books i'm still not mastered the old testament the way i've

mastered the new testament but the moment you actually are confronted with the with the with

an issue a leader who's becoming a master craftsman from being an apprentice should be able to process

all of the life's issues through the base of the scriptures and be bringing about

the mind of christ solutions to the issues that are faced in a culture

and that's how we really develop wisdom base this is not a knowledge base we develop what is called

as a wisdom base and the spirit actually broods over the wisdom base and takes the words of christ

and is able to apply if you don't have this wisdom base the spirit is not able to

wisdom base the spirit is not able to

he uses profits to warn or advice

but over a period of time the wisdom base that is developed through an academic skill and it's

it's an academic skill that you have to at the end of it it's going to be on paper it's going to be

certain times we got to put them on paper if you don't put them on paper it's just vapor

you'll have great thoughts that the spirit would be able to take the words but you got to do some

level of studying and are able to handle the scriptures with confidence

so that we will not be arguing with words that is meaningless

so we must help people identify their life work their gifts abilities skills

and help them understand their gift mix and that ministerial skills you will be able to

distinguish them over a period of time whether they are a local eldership material or an apostolic

team material over a period of time and through through practical applications in ministry

when you you identify ministerial skills because you are able to see them on the job

in service while in community that's why jacob taking jeven to hanoi or evan to evan have i got

your name evan evan to hanoi helps jacob understand whether whether you're a local church

eldership or an apostolic team does not make any difference with regards to what christ wants

because one does not function or apart from the other one is a failure if the other does not

function and therefore these are equally important weightages with the priority of the apostolic

ministry because of the progression and the spearheading and the pioneering aspects that are

needed but apart from that whether you're here or here it depends on the gift that god has given you

and you must be fully fully be satisfied with what god has invested in but jacob on these trips will

be able to assess or over a period of time there will be a senior eldership that rises up from

amongst the elders will be able to assess on a on a two-tier system where where there are local

elders identifying hey this guy is apostolic in nature or this guy is the ability to teach and

defend the gospel this guy has this particular computer skills so that he can be on a deacon

team to help the teaching of the church be established as true proper teaching this is

an entrepreneur who has the ability to to to bring solution as a benefactor to the society or

as a as a health as as this giftedness to make money in order for the progression of the god

all these giftedness will be able we need to be so these are three major blocks as from from first

timothy and second timothy that we these these three major blocks of a well-rounded leader

that we need to shape up this this from first timothy second and second timothy paul as is in

second timothy is reviewing paul's training of timothy and telling this is how you got to be

training others and that is when he gives the commission in second timothy chapter two verse

two that which you have heard in the presence of many witnesses and this review of what i'm doing

with regards to the training of you timothy you've been with me in anchoque you've been in

anchoque you've been with me in different places in ephesus when i've gone through persecution

you've seen my life you've learned things from my life you have learned things from your grandmother

you have learned things from your mother you have learned things from the scriptures on from

infancy but now is your base of and the process of training that i have taken you through now this

is the good deposit that i have invested into your life timothy now god this with the help of the

holy spirit and pass it on to faithful men that is second timothy chapter two and verse two passes

on to faithful men who will also be able to do this to others and therefore second timothy chapter

two verse two is not a multi-level uh multi-level leadership developmental strategy no this is a

long-haul 12-year process of investment of the good deposit over a period of time and paul is

reviewing that training process and he says hey flee from sexual immorality flee from all these

kinds of things make sure that you are a man of character and then second timothy chapter two

verse 14 and 15 you need to be an authentic approved minister of the gospel uh that means

you need to handle the word of god with confidence do not argue about meaningless words because it

does not help anyone and when you are arguing you don't have to argue because somehow some way when

people oppose you in the teaching leave it to the spirit and you don't get agitated in your

arguments and all those things are the academic skills part that paul is talking about in the

training process and then the minister do the work of the evangelist give yourself to the public

reading of the scriptures a be instant in season um rebuke all all of those things are the

ministerial skills that that that paul is talking to timothy and so these are we call the same

encyclopedia

yes

i i would say apostolic leaders need to choose the apostolic teams and therefore there are some

people from within the churches that the apostolic leader would invite in in consensus with the local

church elders to be brought them to team as an apprentice and then the apostolic leader takes the

responsibility of helping him through his life work but generally life work needs to be done

within the communities there's a set of good what is life work is a set of good works that

god has prepared in advance for a person to be doing in his lifetime which could be parenting

which could be fathering it could be husbanding it could be um it could be certain gifts abilities

and skills that god has given that person in it could be entrepreneurial it could be certain gifts

of playing instruments all of this is a set of good works that christ is prepared in advance for

a person to do and then we help them explore it so when it comes to life work

we help people explore conceptualize

and realize

but they are regards to gifts abilities in a lot of people actually can play guitar

but they are not guitarists

so they explore we need to really help people realize their their set of good works the crisis prepared in advance for them to do

and the church as a whole is god's good work to the world

he's a master craftsman doing his masterpiece which is the church which has individuals and families

with individual life work and family life works together and god the way he puts families together

because he's the one who puts families together because of our hardness we mess up families but

he's the one who puts families together because there's a greater purpose in harnessing what god

has already invested into your life and the family and an individual is part of a family of god which

is the community of disciples and god has a unique way by which he shapes a community too because of

the individual and the family life works that's how the community is formed that's not the full

picture that's why we need to join along with the communities but what a great picture would be if

all of Vancouver is actually moving in the same direction with regards to what Christ wants for

the church and that would be the picture that Christ wants for a city the church of Vancouver

my body that reflects christ watching work no force of hell can ever stand against that

i'm talking utopic but i'm not saying it's not possible

this is possible when you take a long haul 30 year period you can impact a city and a nation

so

what should we do one one more i'm i'm skipping down to i i think these are the three things that

we need to continue to uh linger around through a few more visits or jacob can further it down

number one god has given jacob and a team a map which includes greater vancouver

the greater vancouver network of churches becomes the apostolic base

or an anti-okine base in which jacob and the team are residing

and this church partners together with jacob and his team in planting establishing and multiplying

churches worldwide in that we need to make sure that the base has clear understanding of of

enabling its leadership and the leadership are twofold one is of the apostolic nature

who will be joining along with jacob in the apostolic visits across the globe and

and that's a local eldership team that is

this is the apostolic team

this is the local church

elders and deacons

this is more this outward

this is global focus

this global focus

local participation

this is local focus

but global participation

outward this is outward and mobile

this is more

outward mobile with primary focus on extending reach

this is more stable and local

with the focus on shepherding and equity

you're getting the two basic leadership

and there's another group of people over a period of time of maturing

would raise up what is called as the senior eldership

who are matured guys who rise up within the network of churches who solve the issues that

beyond the local church there are certain times the local elder is not able to solve the issue

that the senior eldership of a particular city will come into play with regards to counseling

and advising and things like that and also they resolve the tensions between the local church

eldership team and the apostolic team because the apostolic team will always want to pull things out

and the local church elders will always pull the team to the local focus and how it's important

to shepherd and how it's important to establish these people there's much need here and senior

eldership over a period of time will resolve issues like the Jerusalem council where it was

a local Jerusalem church and the teaching with Paul being wanting to extend it to Gentiles that

they James the elder was sitting down and helping Paul along with the local church elders in Jerusalem

to solve major issues of theology and this is the picture of the New Testament leadership

while while this is completely wiped off this has become today's 21st century this has become

Parachurch nothing to do with church but they are focused on on catalyzing movements of causes

because the church is not doing it therefore we have to do it and so it's a it's a it's a

it's a network of causes and this has become denomination lies institutionalized

christianity and that's how we have lost the plot

we've got to go back to the New Testament understanding of leadership and how they function

and really reconstruct apostolic teams and local church elders

and one final thing with i'm just jumping and going down to the sixth point which is

a

multil Gas Holy exposal

Is there any question?

T

C

You look into the New Testament, you have four important blocks for funding spontaneous

expansion.

What is funding spontaneous expansion?

Spontaneous expansion is the spirit is actually wanting to take the apostolic teams to continue

to plant and establish and multiply churches in a greater field that God has handed over

the apostolic team.

That means the moment you actually leave Greater Vancouver into another place, there are finances

that are needed for causes in other places.

How does the Antioch Church continue to collaborate and partner with the apostolic teams?

And that's the entire picture of the letter to the Philippines.

If you really see the letter to the Philippines, it is about, in the essence of it, it is about

funding spontaneous expansion that Paul has been doing.

Now the Philippian Church has forgotten for a period of time to fund Paul.

Now Paul is saying, don't worry guys, I have learned to be content whether you give or

not, I still continue.

But please do understand that this is a call of the partnering churches to fund spontaneous

expansion and to help the apostolic teams continue to progress the gospel.

And therefore Paul says he who has begun a good work in you, chapter 1 verse 6, this

is about the partnership to the progression of the gospel.

He who has begun a good work in you is faithful to complete it.

We have been using that verse in all different contexts, it's perfectly fine.

But from now on you need to understand that when he has begun a good work, it's about

this good work of the progression of the gospel and the planning of the churches.

Persecution is actually disturbing it.

Paul's chains are not hindering the progress of the gospel.

Persecution to the Philippian Church is not hindering the progress of the gospel.

But what is hindering the progress of the gospel is the lack of one-mindedness inside

the church.

And then he is actually breaking open what is happening within the church.

Two members of the apostolic team that Paul has left behind in Philippi who has eodia

and syntyche, they have a problem with one another and this is slowly spilling over and

the one-mindedness within the church is getting spoiled.

And therefore Paul is rallying the entire church of Philippi to come back to this mind

which is to consider the other better, to take care of the interests of others better.

And he gives four important examples of Jesus who actually took care of us, that is why

he left from heaven and came down to earth.

Number two, Paul himself who squeezes his life to the end, that there's nothing more

to squeeze as a drink offering.

And number three, Timothy who has a genuine concern for others, follow his example.

An epiphrotist who you guys sent to help with gifts, he almost died in order to serve me.

And these are the examples that you've got to follow.

Don't let the false judizers, those mutilators of flesh, those words that Paul uses are these

dogs, the mutilators of flesh, they are coming and actually spoiling things.

If I have to boast, I have to boast about many things of the Jewish world but I don't

consider them important because they are garbage and rubbish because I have set my mind to

press on towards this upward call which is the progression of the gospel, the planning

and the multiplication of churches.

You guys, I have learned to be content.

I am not the one who is going to be worried whether you guys are going to continue to

partner or not but God shall supply all of your needs according to his riches and glory.

Thank you for the renewed partnership.

Thank you for reminding, renewed.

You have already sent some gifts again and thank you guys.

Continue this partnership because he who's begun a good work in us is faithful to complete.

So that's the letter of Philippians that Paul writes to the Philippian network of churches.

And so funding of Spontaneous Expansion actually includes four major pillars.

The first one is that churches collect regular offerings and the churches need to bracket

off their expenses in order to set aside funding for mission.

I think the church can continue on to keep expenses going on because there's no limit.

If you say, for example, the church needs a Mac computer and two years down the line

we need another Mac because an upgrade came.

The church needs to see whether, because we can keep buying gadgets, we can keep expansion

of the church and keep producing and spending.

The churches actually have money.

To be honest and true, churches have money but the church money does not go into this.

I'm actually struggling and fighting because there is a building that New Life Assemblies

of God already have invested into building.

That means it's taking off a major chunk of the church money into building and I'm trying

to work out finances to say even if you have to maintain this building after, you don't

use it, you don't do anything with it but you've got to continue to pay for the building.

You've got to continue to pay for the air conditioning.

You've got to continue to pay for the maintenance.

Something wrong with buildings when you have such a large congregation gathering together

with around 70,000 people on a celebration day.

Yeah, you may need a building but we fought hard to say can we reduce the number of the

size of the building.

They were planning to build a 50,000-seater auditorium, fought through for five years

to bring it down to 20,000-seater auditorium.

This means it really brings down half of the budget.

Churches actually spend a lot of things on a lot of things, a lot of money on a lot of

things.

That may not be really truly formation of authentic communities of Christ.

I'm not against buildings, I'm not against investments of churches but churches need

to really understand that the main reason for which the church exists is not itself.

Churches exist for the mission.

So the churches need to set aside money for apostolic themes to progress the gospel.

Number two, there are individual benefactors and family benefactors.

These are high net worth individuals, high net worth families.

They have old money because some of them have actually inheritances that have come.

They have inherited businesses, they have inherited properties, they have inherited

because this is not like this new generation struggle to make it.

No, they are a third to fourth generation down the line, rich people who need to really

set aside amounts into investment.

So these are benefactors who are truly not people who give money and control money.

These people need to be fully sold out to the way of Christ as a apostle, fully sold

out to the understanding that hey, this is what Christ is doing in this earth right from

the beginning.

He's setting apart authentic communities for himself and we need to collaborate with him

to set apart more communities for himself.

And for that, God has actually set up a group of leaders who have been gifted by Christ

himself to progress and therefore we want to be benefactors to the progression of the

gospel.

And this is not the church as a whole but there are high net worth individuals who are

called benefactors.

Therefore, Paul is saying about these kinds of people who are Phoebe, who is a deaconess

in the church in Sanctria who is a benefactor to me and to many.

Lydia, she opened a home, but she's a merchant, she's a businesswoman and she opens a home,

invites Paul, there's a house date that's happening in Philippi with Lydia, but she

is also a benefactor to Paul and the Pauline team.

So there are benefactors that are found in the New Testament that continue to supply

for the progression of the gospel.

Number three, special collections.

This is a regular.

There are special collections depending on special needs that the apostolic team would

come up with, hey in Hanoi we need to do this and therefore the house church is gathered

together on special collections that are set apart like how Paul would do because of the

famine in Jerusalem.

That he went to the entire network of judges that he was in the Gentile world and saying

listen guys, the Jewish people were the people who blessed us spiritually.

If we could actually get their spiritual blessings we need to supply for them materially.

It's very interesting the way Paul positions this collection and he says we have received,

we have not received any support, in fact they have been opposing us, but if you truly

understand Jesus came through them and they are a spiritual base and a spiritual blessing

for us it's important that we support the churches in Jerusalem.

So there will be causes and there will be many needs that we raise up in the larger

field that the apostolic leaders may come and request the local church elders to be

doing special collections for.

Four, enterprising apostolic team.

The apostolic team itself is enterprising so that they are not a burden to the churches.

That's one of the things that Paul had to model.

He said I'm not going to be a burden to your churches but thank God for Achille Prisla.

Achille Prisla are my co-workers who are fully on fire with all the qualities of being a

co-worker in the apostolic team but they also run a leather tannery business.

And so they are able to shut shop in Corinth and move on to Ephesus or shut shop in Ephesus

with Paul and go to Rome because now in Rome Paul is arrested in a house, he's under house

arrest but they would be somewhere around him doing business, selling those things

and so when Paul is not busy with other things he is not sleeping in his room but he is actually

engaged in the business too so that you guys don't have to support us because we have

modeled out enterprising apostolic teams.

These are things that needs to be fully seen, not yet seen in the kingdom as yet but these

are things that are found in the New Testament and we got to develop these four things that

we find in the New Testament for the progression of the possible landing and multiplication

of churches.

And the ability, I know this is pushing a little further in the 21st century context

but would finances and lands be placed at the apostles feet because that was the significance

of the things that they did.

They believed in what the mission of Christ was that they would actually come to the apostles

feet to sell lands and finances, put it there and say use it for the sake of the gospel.

That's the level at which I hope in the days to come that that kind of authentic spirit

moves will begin to happen.

It's not about funding a person, it's about funding this most important heart of God issue

which is the planting, establishing, multiplication of authentic Christ communities that replenish

the entire world so that we would reflect Christ to the watching world, that that watching

world would be attracted to and we'd be part of being this community so that they can be

part of God's big family.

We'll further these things as we continue on but I believe that God is doing something

in this church which is six house churches with an apostolic theme which is a wonderful

model that can be harnessed because it's smaller in size.
