Our Mission<\/div>\n
\n
\n
The mission of CI Apostolic Network (CIAN)<\/strong>

\n
Provide present-truth resources\u00a0such as: books, teaching tapes, praise and worship songs, video presentations, etc.<\/li>\n
Activating and equipping the saints through resources provided through Christian International Ministries such as the Manual for Ministering Spiritual Gifts<\/a> and Prophets and Personal Prophecy Teaching Manual<\/a>. These are just two examples of the tools available to the Body of Christ for teaching, training, activating, and maturing the saints in their gifts and callings. These tools advance believers toward functioning as members of specific ministry teams.<\/li>\n
Provide regional and national\u00a0 conferences\u00a0<\/a>to demonstrate and teach present truth.<\/li>\n
Provide specialty seminars for advanced training<\/a> such as: Apostolic\/Prophetic Training Module (APT\u2019s); Prophetic Worship & Arts Conference; Apostolic Leadership Summits; Healing and Deliverance Seminars.<\/li>\n

The Mission of CIAN to Ministries or Churches:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Ensure\u00a0<\/strong>every CIAN ministry or church is firmly grounded upon the foundation of the Church, which is Apostles and Prophets, with Jesus Christ being the Chief Cornerstone (Eph.2:21).<\/li>\n
To activate each CIAN ministry or church to become fulfilled and mature, enabling each of them to be a living demonstration of God’s purpose for His Church today. This activation would cause each church or ministry to send forth teams to demonstrate and minister Christ’s life and purpose to His corporate Body.<\/li>\n
Assist in resolving differences or conflicts within the local church – through consultation with\u00a0CIAN Leadership and Regional Apostolic\/Prophetic Regional Teams (RAPT),\u00a0ministry teams assigned to aid pastors; Apostolic\/Prophetic advice and counsel and on-sight arbitration.<\/li>\n
Provide a place of accountability, oversight, and relationship so that each local church body might be a place of safety, security, and blessing.<\/li>\n
Provide a network that establishes Apostolic\/Prophetic local churches in present truth ministry. An Apostolic\/Prophetic church has the goal and dedication to train every church member to function on a ministry team thus enabling them to fulfill their membership ministry in the Body of Christ. Church Reformation for City Transformation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The Mission of CIAN to Ministers<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Provide a network for relating to and sharing with other ministers and churches.<\/li>\n
Provide Regional CIAN Ministers Meetings\u00a0(within each major geographical sector), by the Regional Apostolic\/Prophetic Team Leader, as a method for oversight and accountability and where relationship and fellowship is encouraged and modeled.<\/li>\n

Offer various levels of affiliation and relationship to meet the needs of individual ministers.<\/li>\n
Provide a means of restoration for pastors and trans-local ministers through covering, counseling, and support during restoration periods.<\/li>\n

Provide Network ministers with the latest revelation and present-truth understanding being activated within the Church.<\/li>\n

Renewal of Ordination: Ministers will have their certification reviewed each year through the completion of Annual Covenant Update Forms. This will provide an opportunity to evaluate our relationship and re-examine our association to establish that we are still moving together in the same vision.<\/p>\n
3. Associate Minister<\/strong><\/h2>\n
This level of affiliation must be initiated by an active CIAN Ordained Minister. This unique level enables the CIAN ordained minister to affiliate\u00a0individuals that\u00a0they pastorally \/ apostolically oversee within their ministry. The associate minister will relate and be accountable to the ordained minister (associate overseer) rather than the leadership of CIAN. The associates ministerial functions, guidelines and credentials are established and documented by the overseer’s authority and in accordance with the laws of the state in which they reside, not CI Apostolic Network.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Revelation of Ordination<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Team Ministry (Married)<\/strong><\/p>\n
Christian International (CI) has a strong commission to restore and establish\u00a0team ministry<\/strong>. We prophetically commission and ordain both husband and wife to the fivefold ministry – apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and\/or teacher. In the event a spouse is unsure of his\/her ministry call, we ask God to reveal that calling\u00a0and then prophetically speak into their life and germinate that seed of ministry that has been dormant within them. CI does not ordain men and women without spousal support and involvement.<\/p>\n
Individual Ministry (Unmarried)<\/strong><\/p>\n
CI also ordains unmarried men and women who are called to fivefold ministry. These individuals receive full impartation, activation, and commissioning as hands are laid on them by anointed ministers.<\/p>\n
Prophetic Impartation<\/strong><\/p>\n
Prophetic presbytery is held at each ordination because CIAN does not believe that ordination is ever to be merely a formal religious ritual. Ordination of fivefold ministry with the laying on of hands is to be on the order of 1 Tim. 4:14. Supernatural anointing is administered through the laying on of hands and divinely inspired prophetic utterance for impartation, revelation, activation, and a great investment of Holy Spirit enablement. The prophetic presbytery team is formed of mature ministers who have proven ability to prophesy a pure, revealing and directive word fo the Lord to\u00a0those being\u00a0ordained. We are New Testament ministers of the Spirit as well as the Word (2 Cor. 3:6).<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
