FOWC
ON INTER-DEPENDENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
We all count on other people in nearly every area of our life. This mutually
dependent relationship is part of God's plan. There is a need for the minister
of the Gospel of Christ to be both called and anointed of God, but also to
be connected to a group of peers characterized by integrity, accountability
and credibility. Unlike some denominations which might be controlling, FOWC
gives ministers the ability to function with the unction and not be given
orders from ‘central office’. With FOWC, you can be both independent
and connected, and have the important spiritual and legal covering. FOWC members
are submitted one to another, and through this submission a strong sense of
accountability is formed. People fellowship for a variety of reasons including;
ministerial credentials, a sense of belonging, spiritual counsel, friendship,
and because they believe that a united effort often accomplishes more than
solitary action. We extend the hand of fellowship to both the seasoned minister
as well as to those having just stepped up to the threshold of their ministry
calling.
FOWC ON UNIQUE MINISTRIES
This Fellowship provides avenues to use the knowledge and experience of others
to better enhance your ministry. While there are areas of similarity in most
ministries and churches, there are also areas of expertise unique to the individual
and individual ministries. We cannot all be experts in every aspect of the
Christian ministry experience, but your ministry's "lack" may be
fulfilled by networking with expertise of others.
FOWC
ON THE BACKING OF A GLOBAL ORGANISATION
Proof of ministerial status is a requirement today for many governmental institutions
and other public facilities. Ministers who travel today, especially those
in an evangelistic ministry who travel as a missionary need identification
like never before because of the terrorist threat. In addition to driver's
licenses and passports, ministers can provide their FOWC Minister's Card when
they travel through check points and through passport controls. Authorities
can check online and see that you are part of a global ministerial fellowship.
There is much more strength in numbers and FOWC is an example of how powerful
online communities can be.
FOWC
ON MAINTAINING THE INTEGRITY OF THE WORD
Many of us can see how apostasy is so obvious around us now. People who feel
they need to leave institutions and systems of religion will be looking for
a place to come and receive licensing credentials and ordination, that has
core beliefs based on biblical prophecy and biblical truths. As FOWC maintains
the integrity of the Word a lot more people are going to be looking for an
organization like this that will embrace them because of their born again
experience.
FOWC
ON MEETINGS AND FELLOWSHIP
To help promote fellowship and meet the needs of the ministry, various fellowship
functions are conducted each year. As we grow, we are working towards holding
an annual FOWC Ministers' Meeting in every country where FOWC has Members.
These Ministers' Meetings provide a place for ordinations and FOWC members,
as well as non-members, with a wonderful opportunity to come together, get
acquainted and receive from the Spirit of God.
FOWC ON THE MYSTERY GOSPEL CHRIST-LIFE TRUTHS
As a member of the Fellowship of World Christians we are not expecting members to agree completely with us on what we believe regarding the many various points of view which the Body of Christ has. We're not trying to get
'converts' to our way of thinking - it's enough that we can all agree on the basic tenants of faith.
At FOWC Meetings, in our online material and in our newsletters we're
simply giving you what we have received and what we know by revelation which
we believe lines up with the Word of God. We're not trying to 'convert' ministers
to our way of thinking. The Fellowship Of World Christians is all about born-again ministers who desire fellowship with other ministers, it's as simple
as that. We won't stop talking to you if you don't agree with what we have
to say. However if you as a minister are able
to spend time on the FOWC members area and hopefully attend the FOWC Ministers' meetings, where we can
express your opinions and discuss issues it will be a help to all of us in FOWC. If we are neglectfull to discuss church issues and hard to understand Bible questions you can be assured that the people in
our churches are not. We're going to have to look at the scriptures ourselves
and come to some conclusions, so we'll have the answers for the Lord's people entrusted into our care. To
be quite frank, there are many people in congregations that are frightened to speak to
the pastor and challenge a thought, in case they are rebuked and ear-marked
as a trouble-maker, so they tend to leave the safety of the church and ask elsewhere. We all can help put a stop to that as we as ministers encourage our congregants to open up and ask questions. We have to be mature enough to know that
truth is truth and needs no propping up, it's only error that has to be propped up.
