Pastoral Connection for those Laboring in the Harvest

To empower leaders in the harvest by providing ongoing  leadership development and forging apostolic partnerships designed to serve one another and better fulfill every individually assigned purpose of God.

Ministry and leadership can be a lonely and competitive place.  And for those with a non-traditional, missional heart and apostolic calling it can be even more difficult.  We want to reach the hurting, broken, raise up leader, lost, and dying.  We want to reach them in a nontraditional, nondenominational way.  We want to operate by early New Testament principles in a modern context of ministry.  We do not want to "do church" we want to "be church".  We want to create schools, send missionaries, raise up ministers, develop leaders, be involved in missions, be part of church planting, and reach as far into the front lines as possible.  Access to apostolic like-mindedness, relationship, understanding, counsel, mentorship, fellowship, and collaboration can make all of the difference in our personal lives and our ministry effectiveness.  For this reason CTAN IMF exists.

The CTAN International Minister's Network is a fraternal network of like minded ministers, ministries, and Christian leaders.  A ministry of Called to All Nations Ministries, Inc., the IMN is designed to provide pastoral development to leaders, ministers, and ministries.  Our heart is to help them to develop more effective, efficient, and excellent lives and ministries.  We use the New Testament pattern of apostolic relationship and development that promotes the idea of local, sovereign, indigenous works.  We believe that ministries are  lead by leaders who are the vision bearers of the local ministry and not by headquarters offices.  Our function is to provide both a leader and ministries with leadership they can call on, whose desire is to serve them instead of trying to control what they do.  Each maintain their local sovereignty, property, and control. We further seek to network ministers, ministries, churches, and Christian leaders into relationships for the purpose of personal and corporate fellowship, growth, development, ministry, and world harvest.  The IMN provides ministry to the leader and ministry while protecting unique individuality and autonomy.

 

The International Minister's Network offers membership and association on three levels:

·        Affiliate Membership- for those ministers, ministries, and churches who  seek networking, fellowship, ministry development, and resources.  

·        Business Membership- for Christian business leaders who desire access to resources, training, and relationships that will facilitate their development as a leader and affect global harvest efforts.  

·        Covenant Membership- for leaders, ministers, ministries, and churches wishing to voluntarily unite in covenant relationship according to New Testament apostolic pattern for the purpose of and in answer to the need for personal and/or ministry spiritual covering.  They desire interdependent relationships, personal accountability, ministry accountability, ministry credentials and chartering, and apostolic coaching.
