Cwam missional Network AND prayer disciples Covenant

Churches With A Mission International 

Missional Network Prayer Disciples Covenant

I, (and/or my Church if applicable) and Churches With A Mission International Missional Network do solemnly and joyfully enter into a Missional Network and Prayer Disciples Covenant with God and each other under the guidance of the Holy Spirit on this day (enter date below). We commit to discipling the inquirers that the Network sends to us. The duration of this co-laborer relationship shall be for the period that the Lord leads or when at least one of us decides conclusion.  CWAM and I mutually agree that the purpose of this Network Prayer Disciples Covenant is not to bind anyone to anything other than to authentically care and love one another by words and actions as well as disciple the people sent to us (or me if individual). I understand that CWAM intends to encourage and support a “Spirit Led Servanthood” relationship with all network participants. We both agree that our objective for this covenant is to spell out a clear understanding of how we are to effectively share in our relationships and interpersonal responsibilities together. The Scriptural theme of our relationship shall be based upon Jesus’ words of prayer in the Gospel of John, chapter seventeen, verse twenty-one (Jn 17:21). Let it be further noted that we pray that this covenant agreement will help substantiate positive Christian values and Christ-like conditions among us; thereby, hindering any possible misunderstanding or confusion. I understand that my first commitment outside of God is to my own family and then to my own church (wherever that might be). 

THEREFORE, THE FOLLOWING ARE THE THINGS I/WE SHALL COMMIT TO:

1. Make certain that the person(s) sent to me/us is discipled by myself or an assigned trained discipler.
2. Pray for and/or with other team leaders and participants in this network whenever time mutually permits. Together we will seek God’s face, in one accord, for His direction concerning my/our personal role as a team player.
3. Always think and function with the “we” and “us” mentality instead of the “you all”  mentality.
4. Understand that the leadership Team of this Missional Network must ultimately make decisions. However, I will lovingly share my advice and opinions.
5. Prayerfully and patiently listen to my fellow team participants concerns with humility and without prejudging ones motive. To be sensitive to the feelings of others within the Network with the mutual drive to agree or at least focus on the areas that we can agree on.
6. Know that all of my personal ideas and suggestions presented to this Network will not necessarily be used by the leadership, but will definitely and prayerfully be considered.
7. That if I differ with the Leadership Team or any other Network Participant, I shall not offend or be offended because I disagree. First, I shall do a self examination; make sure that I have “died to self”, and then ask the leadership to pray with me until both of us come off our knees in agreement or respectfully lovingly agree to disagree.
8. Not make public any private discussions that are agreed to be confidential and to look beyond the faults of others and see the needs of each other.
