Ministry Statement

    The FLInt Net is the Fellow Laborers’ International Network of

    Churches, Ministries, Intercessory Prayer Groups and Equipping

    Centers. We are an association of ministers and ministries joined

    together by desire and relationship, linked through the apostolic

    office, to fulfill divine purposes and callings of individuals

    and churches to complete the Great Commission. We believe that by

    being connected, each is better enabled to raise up, disciple,

    and equip God’s people to do His work.

   

    We are Fellow Laborers:

    We believe that establishing and supporting local assemblies of

    Christians is the most effective method of carrying out the Great

    Commission and reaching the world with the gospel of our Lord

    Jesus Christ. It is our conviction that the best place for

    raising up disciples under the teachings of the Lord is at the

    local level with local oversight and care. In the model supplied

    by the apostle Paul’s work in Ephesus, we believe that each

    local church, city, or area may be a center for training up and

    equipping saints for the works of service. We find that through

    association, all resources at the local level may be used with

    greater efficiency than was heretofore thought possible.

    Equipping the saints:

    Ephesians 4:11,12: “And He Himself gave some to be apostles,

    some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

    for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the

    edifying of the body of Christ”. We believe that all five

    ascension ministries listed in Ephesians 4:11 are in existence

    and operating in the kingdom of God today, functioning under many

    different titles depending upon church or denominational

    background. In accordance with Ephesians 4:12, we believe that it

    is of utmost importance for the five-fold ministers of today’s

    church to equip others to do the works of service in the body of

    Christ. We believe that the Lord gave the Church the mandate to

    raise up and equip disciples to the Lord Jesus Christ (Matt

    28:19a). Likewise, we believe that most people can be equipped to

    train others also: 2 Timothy 2:2: “And the things that you have

    heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men

    who will be able to teach others also.”
