This is a ministry arm of Save The Nations church and as such also has a DREAM as it credentials and covers people from all nations to do what God has called them to do.

D	iscover leadership in the Body of Christ
R	eveal their gifts and callings
E	mpower their growth
A	ctivate their ministries
M	entor their lives

We are a group of men and women who desire to possess the full, rich life in Christ . We believe God is going to reach the nations with this gospel of the Kingdom, the same gospel that Jesus demonstrated when He was on the earth. We are seeking to be vessels filled with the Spirit who can reveal to the world a Living Christ. We desire to express the same divine compassion that Jesus did and release the same violent hatred for the works of darkness.

Vision Statement—Uniting servant leaders who embrace and demonstrate the Kingdom of God with power 

Apostolic Teams--We believe God is raising up and releasing apostolic teams to accomplish His purpose of fulfilling the Great Commission. Save The Nations International Fellowship of Ministries and Clergy desires to walk apostolically and relate to other apostolic teams God has and is raising up. As God knits together leaders from various parts of the world and in various nations, they are enabled to work together for the greater purpose of God. Each team carries a unique anointing and can wonderfully compliment the grace another team carries.

We see God supernaturally knitting together men and women in covenant relationships. This is not something that men can do in and of themselves. It is a work of the Spirit of God. Covenant-minded men and women often are drawn together and recognize the hand of the Lord in bringing people into their lives. God knits people together for His purposes.

The restoration of the apostolic and prophetic ministries shakes the foundation of the church, which has been built on the traditions of man. God is establishing a new and unshakable foundation on the ministries of the apostle and prophet and bringing forth New Testament churches. These churches are centers that equip and release ministries rather than build for their own prestige or reputation.

Reformation-- As God is restoring the foundational gifts and ministries there is also a shift in understanding and doctrine. The early church walked in the apostle's doctrine. The apostolic and prophetic gifts are uniquely set in the Body to understand the revelation of God's plan and purpose in the New Testament. Paul says that apostles and prophets have a stewardship of the mystery of the gospel and lay the foundation the Church is built upon. (See Ephesians 3:1-5). While there are no new revelations, there is restored understanding of the Scriptures by the Holy Spirit. God restored the understanding of justification by faith through Martin Luther. It was not a new revelation. It was in the Word all along. But the Church had lost sight of it. God used Luther to call the Church back to what was in the Word but had been lost sight of.

We believe the Reformation is not over. The respective burdens and impartation given the apostle and prophet establish the Church on an unshakable foundation of the Kingdom that cannot be shaken (Heb. 12:28). New levels of anointing empower the evangelist, pastor and teacher as they receive from the apostle and prophet. The goal is not 5-fold ministry. The goal is equipped saints that fulfill their calling and build up the Body of Christ. This will result in bringing forth God's One New Man, Messiah, Head and Body. The Body must come to the unity of the faith and the full knowledge of the Son of God. We are to come to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. (See Eph.4:11-13) Everything that can be shaken will be shaken. Only the Kingdom of God is able to stand when all things are shaken.

The Church of the last days will be filled with the glory of God and fulfill her glorious destiny. This is part of the apostolic doctrine. Jesus will present to Himself a glorious Church without spot, wrinkle or blemish. The Church will have been made holy by the washing of water by the Word (Eph. 5:26,27).

Apostolic Churches-- The release of the fullness of apostolic and prophetic ministries to the Body of Christ will result in a new kind of church. Apostolic centers raised up where local and trans-local teams minister. Ministries will be trained and released from these centers. The vision of discipling the nations will replace the concept of world evangelism. Instead of seeking converts, teams will seek to plant and nurture New Testament churches where disciples are made and local, indigenous leaders are set in as elders.  We expect to mentor, train and send out people with our DNA into the centers of the world, globally and locally. Apostolic teams will oversee new works until they are healthy enough to walk on their own. Character and relationships will work alongside gifting and anointing as the criterion by which a ministry is validated. Churches in a given area will flow together under the influence of the Holy Spirit to establish “elders” in the gates of cities. Local apostolic “fathers” will be recognized by their fatherly heart, divine authority and apostolic wisdom. Because of the networking of local and trans-local apostolic teams, unity and tremendous power in prayer by the united Body in a given area will change cities and areas dramatically. A great harvest will be reaped.

Equipped Saints-- The maturity level of the average believer will be greatly increased. Because all five ministry gifts will impart to the saints, they will grow and develop marvelously. The average believer will be equipped to win the lost, heal the sick and cast out demons. Anointed ministries of benevolent works will be established to meet the practical needs of people. These ministries will heal the sick and minister in power as they meet the practical needs of those who come to them.

As the nations are reached the glory of the Lord will be increasingly manifested. The average believer will know who he or she is in Christ and will understand their authority over the powers of darkness. The fear of the Lord will be upon the saints and where the church is rising the community will sense the fear of the Lord as well.

Abundant Provision-- As the Church is transformed, God will release an anointing for supernatural provision. As in the days following the day of Pentecost, the saint will again lay great amounts of money at the feet of proven apostles. This money will be distributed at the leading of the Holy Spirit and great blessing will follow. Purity in the handling of money - and godly accountability - will become common. A tremendous trust will exist in the Church because the Church will have learned Covenant. A great revelation of Covenant is coming to the Body of Christ. A willingness to lay down our lives for one another will mark true Christianity. Great humility coupled with great boldness will be the rule rather than the exception.

The Return of Christ-- The culmination of all things will be the return of Christ. He will return for a glorious Church without spot, wrinkle or blemish. All nations will have been touched by the discipling hand of the revived Church. A level of unity and anointing never experienced by the Church will mark the Church of the Last Days. God's fire and glory will be seen in His Church. God is moving in the earth. The stage is being set for the demonstration of His glory.

Services

We are a Fellowship of likeminded men and woman who have joined together to form a team of ministers dedicated to the spreading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the furthering of His Kingdom. As such, we endeavor to be a Ministry Communications and Support Center as well as a vehicle for the personal and leadership development and support of others who serve in the Kingdom.

We will provide a network that links the Main Office of the Fellowship at the Save The Nations church and its leadership with the members and other ministers. This link will keep the Fellowship informed of important events and information that may effect their ministries. We will also operate as a Resource Center to ministers and churches around the world.

We will license and ordain men and women for their work in the Kingdom and we will offer a spiritual covering to churches and ministries that are closely knit to the heart of the Senior Pastor by relationship. We will offer ministerial credentials after an approved process to STN members.  

We will conduct an annual leadership conference and convention for the fellowship to impart into those who are covered and credentialed by our organization.

The Lord is joining people together to accomplish His purpose. We want to walk with those who feel a drawing toward the vision God has called us to accomplish. This includes various levels of involvement. First, we will have:

Commissioned Minister: credentials may be issued to a person who has a call on his or her life to work for the Lord in some field other than that of preaching, pastoring or evangelizing. This may include Choir Director, musician, Sunday School Superintendent, teacher, hospital visitation worker, house-to-house visitation, altar worker, street or jail service worker, or a ministry other than that of preaching. They are not authorized to perform any sacerdotal services but primarily assist others in the Body of Christ.

Chaplain: This recognition is for ministers of the gospel that are called by God and recognized by the Senior Pastor to minister primarily in prisons, hospitals, hospices, government agencies and through community ministry.

Licensed Minister:  This recognition is given by the Senior Pastor for those who are somewhat seasonsed in the ministry, but need further experience. Many of these are individuals that have been working in their chosen vocation, but for some reason or another have never entered full-time ministry, or have only been in full-time ministry for less than three (3) years. This level authorizes holder to perform all sacerdotal services. However, this person is not in charge of a congregation and has limited authority to run the affairs of the church.  These credentials will be issued only AFTER a minister’s first year of ministry. 

Ordained Minister:  This recognition is given by the Senior Pastor to those persons who have an “established” or “proven” ministry with good personal, verifiable reputation. Ordained ministers are authorized to perform all functions of the Christian ministry and sacerdotal services, and must be capable of doing so. Person must be capable, as determined by Senior Pastor, to take charge of a congregation if needed.

We realize that many that would like to join with us have already been ordained. We recognize that many ordaining bodies exist and seek to honor all valid ordinations. One who is a member of The Fellowship but ordained through another denominational organization will be classified and recognized as an Ordained Member.
