Networks can play an important role in seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Network connections allow different groups to to offer support toward a common goal by coordinating efforts and sharing resources. Networks following the virtues of Christ allow groups, and individuals to demonstrate the policy of righteousness.

The term network here refers to the ministerial connections trough charitable communion and allows many to collaborate on a shared advocacy of the strategy of virtue. Many may use the term coalition or convention to describe the local congregations united with shared goals and responsibilities through faith, hope and charity.

This manual emphasizes the important role of the communication of communion in bringing together members and establishing a common agenda. The agenda of Christ was to serve and save. At the core of every group must be the desire to serve and save others by setting them free from their chains.

Those chains are those of unforgiveness and fear, selfishness and sloth, abuse and anger, judgment and hate, deceit and deception.

Networks bring together people from all parts of the community as a team to improve the quality and the quantity of work and spread responsibilities by allowing individuals and groups to contribute ideas, expertise, and resources not merely for growth but for the sake and production of the fruits of the Spirit..

A network of committed families or individual void of pride and arrogance can with humility and the intent of Christ build the skills and experience necessary to achieve results that would be difficult for any single member to accomplish alone.

The process of building the network may also strengthen and test the faith of individual participants who strive in their quest of Christ. Building consensus in search of Christ is not only a time-consuming process it challenge the virtue and patients of congregants because they will not always agree on the goals, objectives, and strategies of each other. Christ is the common denominator and it is up to everyone to find the real Christ.

Our sacrifice draws him near as we learn to trust one another through daily acts of charity. Building trust in the face of conflicts and sacrifice is difficult. Members may be hampered by previous trauma, prejudice through unresolved past experiences. Healing, like forgiveness, requires that we help heal other.


Congregants of the network must establish their own Team leaders or Ministers who are "… able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness”.

"Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place [such] over them, [to be] rulers of thousands, [and] rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:" Exodus 18:21


There are many common reasons why networking fails.

The most common among them is people are unsure of how to start.

They are uncomfortable with stepping out and trust. They lack faith. The word faith only appears twice in the old testament but one word translated faith is also translated faithfulness, truth, faithfully, office, faithful, faith , stability, steady, truly, verily, etc. and is defined firmness and fidelity.[1]

The Bible is about government where the good ones operate by loving your neaghbor faithfully rather than forcing your neighbor to care for you. Fear that your neighbor will not be there for you disipates as faith grows and faith grows as you begin to seek to walk in faithfulness.

If you seek to remove fear from your neighbors heart fear will decrease in your own just as you must forgive in order to be forgiven. [2]

People's busy schedules, which causes them not to respond, understand the request or care enough to engage in a networking conversation much less networking communion. This was a problem even in the days of Christ. He called these people with excuses “the dead”.[3]

This hesitation and excuse making can cause people to become impatient or lose the persistence and motivation necessary to cultivate a networking relationship. But the kingdom engine runs on love. Love is stronger than death.[4]

Christ came to raise the dead and if we come in the name of Christ we must have the love and patience of Christ. We need to love others[5] and not just love those who love us.

Only loving those who love us grants no grace as we see in Luke 6:32[6] Christ warns us that if we only love those who loves us there is no “thanks” but the word “thank” in that verse is the word “grace”.[7]

If we are saved by grace then is there grace if we only love those who love us. [8] Each of should seek to adopt a congregation of people who we may seek to learn to love.

That does not mean you do not speak out and rebuke sin amongst you but you do it with love.[9]

Every congregation should be small enough to practice daily love. The personal relationships of love give quality to our journey toward the kingdom. Quantity comes as we link to other congregations, casting our bread upon the waters of a living network.
