Scope of the Assignment
”And when the day was already far gone, His disciples came to Him and said, ‘This is a desolate and isolated place, and the hour is now late. Send the crowds away to go into the country and villages round about and buy themselves something to eat.’ But He replied to them, ‘Give them something to eat yourselves.’ And they said to Him, ‘Shall we go and buy 200 denarii [about forty dollars] worth of bread and give it to them to eat?’ And He said to them, ‘How many loaves do you have? Go and see.’ And when they [had looked and] knew, they said, ‘Five [loaves] and two fish.’ Then He commanded the people all to recline on the green grass by companies. So they threw themselves down in ranks of hundreds and fifties [with the regularity of an arrangement of beds of herbs, looking like so many garden plots]. And taking the five loaves and two fish, He looked up to heaven and, praising God, gave thanks and broke the loaves and kept on giving them to the disciples to set before the people; and He [also] divided the two fish among [them] all. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve [small hand] baskets full of broken pieces [from the loaves] and of the fish. And those who ate the loaves were 5,000 men.” Mark 6:35-44
God is moving today in multiplication and acceleration. The Father has a mission, an assignment for us. He has a huge heart for His people and huge plans to affect the community, region, state, Southeast, nation, and the world.
The scope of this ministry collective includes providing living quarters for people in ministry needing temporary housing such as missionaries on furlough or sabbatical. There will be offices or meeting spaces for other ministries such as missions, arts, education, training centers, sports ministry, children’s ministry, benevolence ministry, or prayer ministry. In addition there will be an emphasis on encouraging and supplying practical employment in ministry for preachers, teachers, evangelists, and childcare workers, as well as carpenters, electricians, painters, etc.
Luke 4:18-19 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
Individuals will have portions or pieces of the vision or they will have their own visions. Because of their like-minded Father’s heart values they will fit the criteria to become a part of the larger collection of ministry.
