Shepherds Of Grace International, is an Apostolic
ministry, which means:
We are called by God to live a separated and consecrated life. Romans
1:1, Paul describes himself as a "...bond-servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God".
We are called to be an Apostolic Father, planting and
establishing churches world-wide and developing responsible evangelistic ministry. The Word of God tells
us in 1 Corinthians 4:15, "For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers...", an
apostolic father will produce mature sons and daughters who are ready to carry a high level of anointing in preaching, ministry,
and integrity.
We are "kingdom minded", bringing Godly believers together, from every tribe
and nation, for the purpose of the great commission. Reaching The World For Christ and training them
to discover their potential, plan, and purpose in life; while helping them to identify and step into their ministry.
We do not seek a sign, but expect signs and wonders to follow an apostolic ministry.
"Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds." 2 Corinthians
12:12
We will conduct ministry in the humility that Paul the Apostle demonstrated
in 1 Corinthians 15:9, when he said, "For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle...".
We are servants of the most high God, providing a Spiritual Covering, with
the understanding that leadership is not title or position, but rather relationship, responsibility, and empowering others.
(1 Peter 5)
We do not think ourselves better than another,
but we are committed to growing closer to Christ daily. Studying to show ourselves approved unto God, a workman
that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth, being a doer of the Word, making the most of every opportunity
as we actively participate in the great commission.
