NETWORK

CONNECTION • COVERING • COMMISSION

Accomplish More Together

We are a family of ministry leaders, pastors, and missionaries connected through relationship to accomplish more together than we can alone.

The Global Awakening Network is an opportunity to connect with like-minded pastors, leaders, and missionaries. Find a path to 501(c)3 status, credentialing, prayer support, regular gatherings, access to evangelists, revivalists, prophetic training, and more.

We understand the need for resourcing, and the challenges of growing a church and ministry. We created the Network to give an opportunity for building relationships with like-minded people, to have the covering of an apostolic leader, and to provide opportunities for equipping and activation. Leadership does not have to be lonely. Let’s walk together in community and family.

What Makes Us Unique

Apostolic Network of Global Awakening

Our Network provides you with an opportunity to find your tribe, to belong, and to connect with other leaders.

  • We provide a space for you to seek greater anointing, to gain spiritual covering, to be mentored and to be held accountable.
  • We provide a pathway to credentials and 501(c)3 federal tax exemption for your ministry along with licensure and ordination.

Our goal is that you would be more equipped to be a powerful Christian leader, to be a person at rest, and to be an influencer.

We have learned from both mistakes and victories how to succeed and press through the challenges of ministry. This family of leaders is offered to you as a safe place to find support, connections, empowerment, and credentials for ministry.

Answers to Your Questions

If you are the senior pastor of a church or lead an active para-church ministry, chances are you qualify. If the church or ministry you lead qualifies for a 501(c)3, you qualify for the Network. You can also qualify for the Network as a missionary.

There is a non-refundable application fee for prospective ANGA members. The fee to apply for membership is $150, and there is a minimum fee of $30 dollars a month that can either be paid monthly or annually. We encourage Partnership as an easy solution.

 

Unfortunately, no. Our Network is made up of churches, itinerant ministers, and missionaries. It is not currently set up to support marketplace-style ministries.

Yes. Licensure and ordination are available for qualifying Network members. Applicants must be in the Network for at least six months in order to apply for credentialing and are expected to maintain active membership with the Network. Members who leave the Network lose their credentials.

Certainly not! We do ask you to identify who you are primarily accountable to.

Tom Jones and Charity Cook are available to minister on behalf of the Network. Contact charity@globalawakening.com to schedule a time. We also have Global Associates who are available to speak at your church or ministry. Finally, we have Global School Awakening Teams available to minister at churches and ministries each spring. For more information, please contact our office.

Please check with our office. While individuals typically do not qualify for the Network, exceptions can sometimes be made.

Network membership will cover a single church or ministry. You would need to choose one or the other to join the Network, or submit applications and fees for both.

The unity of the Network lies primarily on agreement regarding the following values: salvation is by grace through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus; evangelizing the lost, especially by planting and strengthening churches; ministering to the poor, especially the orphans and widows; avoiding hypocrisy, pride, and paternalistic attitudes in our ministry to others; and we are to love the whole body of Christ. In this day we cannot inflict wounds upon the body of Christ, but rather we must encourage one another. We must shift the conflict from the internal denominational differences in order to conserve our strength and present a united in the Spirit perspective of Christianity to the Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, New Age, Shintoist, and Secular Humanist religions, which stand against the claims of our Lord Jesus the Christ.

 

Our statement of faith is not a litmus test that must be passed in order to be a part of the Network but a basis for understanding the views of the founder of the Network, Randy Clark. The fullness of our gospel includes forgiveness, healing, deliverance, and the second coming of our Lord to consummate His Kingdom upon this earth. We exist to work together with leaders around the world who are planting churches and ministering to the needy in the power of the Holy Spirit.

 

WE BELIEVE that God is the Eternal King. He is an infinite, unchangeable Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, goodness, justice, power, and love. From all eternity He exists as the One Living and True God in three persons of one substance, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory.

 

WE BELIEVE that God’s kingdom is everlasting. From His throne, through His Son, His eternal Word, God created, upholds, and governs all that exists: the heavenly places, the angelic hosts, the universe, the earth, every living thing, and mankind. God created all things very good.

 

WE BELIEVE that Satan, originally a great, good angel, rebelled against God, taking a host of angels with him. He was cast out of God’s presence and, as a usurper of God’s rule established a counter kingdom of darkness and evil on earth.

 

WE BELIEVE that God created mankind in His image, male and female, for relationship with Himself and to govern the earth. Under the temptation of Satan, our original parents fell from grace, bringing sin, sickness, and God’s judgment of death to the earth. Through the fall, Satan and his demonic hosts gained access to God’s good creation. Creation now experiences the consequences and effects of Adam’s original sin. Human beings are born in sin, subject to God’s judgment of death, and captive to Satan’s kingdom of darkness.

 

WE BELIEVE that God did not abandon His rule over the earth which He continues to uphold by His providence. In order to bring redemption, God established covenants which revealed His grace to sinful people. In the covenant with Abraham, God bound himself to His people Israel, promising to deliver them from bondage to sin and Satan and to bless all the nations through them.

 

WE BELIEVE that as King, God later redeemed His people by His mighty acts from bondage in Egypt and established His covenant through Moses, revealing His perfect will and our obligation to fulfill it. The law’s purpose is to bring order to our fallen race and to make us conscious of our moral responsibility. By the work of God’s Spirit, it convicts us of our sin and God’s righteous judgment against us and brings us to Christ alone for salvation.

 

WE BELIEVE that when Israel rejected God’s rule over her as King, God established the monarchy in Israel and made an unconditional covenant with David, promising that his heir would restore God’s kingdom reign over His people as Messiah forever.

 

WE BELIEVE that in the fullness of time, God honored His covenants with Israel and His prophetic promises of salvation by sending His only Son, Jesus, into the world. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, as fully God and fully man in one person, He is humanity as God intended us to be. Jesus was anointed as God’s Messiah and empowered by the Holy Spirit, inaugurating God’s Kingdom reign on earth, overpowering the reign of Satan by resisting temptation, preaching the good news of salvation, healing the sick, casting out demons, and raising the dead. Gathering His disciples, He reconstituted God’s people as His dying for the sins of the world; Jesus was raised from the dead on the third day, fulfilling the covenant of blessing given to Abraham.

In His sinless, perfect life, Jesus met the demands of the law and in His atoning death on the cross He took God’s judgment for sin which we deserve as lawbreakers. By His death on the cross, He also disarmed the demonic powers. His death on the cross also opened up healing as part of the gospel to be preached.

The covenant with David was fulfilled in Jesus’ birth from David’s house, His Messianic ministry, His glorious resurrection from the dead, His ascent into heaven, and His present rule at the right hand of the Father. As God’s Son and David’s heir, He is the eternal Messiah King, advancing God’s reign throughout every generation and throughout the whole earth today.

 

WE BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit was poured out on the church on the evening of the resurrection, when Jesus breathed upon his disciples and told them to receive the Holy Spirit. This was the experience of receiving the indwelling Spirit bringing “zoe,” life to them. The baptism of repentance is when this is continued in the history of the Church. This is the one baptism referred to in 1 Corinthians 12:13, baptizing believers into the body of Christ. These disciples and others would later receive the “Promise of the Father”: the mighty baptism with the Holy Spirit when He would come upon (“epi”) them. This was the experience of the disciples (who had earlier received the Spirit when Jesus breathed upon them and said, “Receive the Spirit“) on the Day of Pentecost. Whereas the receiving of the Spirit on the evening of the resurrection was for life, at Pentecost the Spirit came upon them in power and released the gifts of the Spirit to them. The Holy Spirit brings the permanent indwelling presence of God to us for spiritual worship, personal sanctification, building up the Church, gifting us for ministry, and driving back the kingdom of Satan by the evangelization of the world through proclaiming the word of Jesus and doing the works of Jesus.

 

WE BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is our abiding Helper, Teacher, and Guide. We believe Jesus is the one who baptizes us in the Holy Spirit, as a conscious experience, for ministry today. We believe that this baptism in the Spirit is almost always subsequent to conversion, that on very rare occasions it comes at the time of conversion. Even with this observation it is difficult to know if it was truly simultaneous or occurred a few seconds after conversion. We believe the biblical pattern is for this experience to be subsequent, though there is even in the Bible an instance when it wasn’t (the experience of Cornelius in Acts 10, in light of Acts 11:14, “He will bring you a message through which you and all your household will be saved”).

 

WE BELIEVE in the present ministry of the Spirit and in the exercise of all biblical gifts of the Spirit. We practice the laying on of hands for the empowering of the Spirit, for healing, for impartations of gifts of the Holy Spirit, and for recognition and empowering of those whom God has ordained to lead and serve the church. We also recognize that another of the two ways recorded in the Bible that God empowers people is through individual or corporate prayer and waiting upon God, and in this latter scenario there is no laying on of hands. We value both of these ways of receiving impartations and empowering experiences from God.

 

WE BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit inspired the human authors of the Holy Scripture so that the Bible is “God-breathed.” We receive the sixty six books of the Old and New Testaments as our final, absolute authority, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.

 

WE BELIEVE that the whole world is under the domination of Satan and that all people are sinners by nature and choice. All people therefore are under God’s just judgment. Through the preaching of the Good News of Jesus and the Kingdom of God and the work of the Holy Spirit, God regenerates, justifies, adopts and sanctifies through Jesus by the Spirit all who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior. By this they are released from Satan’s domain and enter into God’s kingdom reign.

 

WE BELIEVE in the one, holy, universal Church. All who repent of their sins and trust Jesus as Lord and Savior are regenerated by the Holy Spirit and form the living Body of Christ, of which He is the head and all are members. The Church was established during the ministry of our Lord, received the Spirit, with its regenerating life, on the night of the Resurrection, and received the “Promise of the Father” the Baptism or Filling with the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost.

 

WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ committed two ordinances to the Church: water baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Both are available to all believers. We recognize that grace is also conveyed through the preaching and study of the Word of God, the Bible. We concur that the two ordinances are like the gospel on television (visual) while preaching is like the gospel on radio (auditory). In this sense, the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper can be conveyers of God’s grace and have a sacramental nature when appropriated by the person receiving them in faith. We use ’’sacramental“ in the sense of a means of transferring or imparting grace to the one who receives in or with faith. This language is an attempt to build a bridge, not a wall, between the historic denominations which use the language of sacraments and the Baptists, Pentecostals, and many Charismatics who instead use the language of ordinances to refer to Baptism and the Lord’s Supper (the latter also referred to as Communion or the Eucharist by certain denominations or networks). We believe that the preached/taught or read Word of God, baptism, and the Lord’s Supper can all be means by which we experience the Triune God. Although we have not listed preaching/teaching of the word of God as an ordinance, we are clearly commanded to preach/teach, and as we obey, something of a sacramental nature is conveyed through the spoken word of God.

 

WE BELIEVE that God’s kingdom has come in the ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ, that it continues to come in the ministry of the Holy Spirit through the Church, and that it will be consummated in the glorious, visible, and triumphant appearing of Christ: His return to the earth as King. After Christ returns to reign, He will bring about the final defeat of Satan and all of his minions and works, the resurrection of the dead, the final judgment and eternal conscious punishment of the wicked, and the eternal blessing of the righteous. Finally, God will be all in all in His new heavens and new earth, recreated by His mighty power, in which righteousness dwells and in which He will forever be worshiped.

About Gaining Your 501(c)3 Status

Qualifying Network churches and ministries can receive federal tax exemption by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Not all members will qualify for group tax exemption. One basic requirement is the need for the member to have been formed within the last 15 months. For more details and a complete list of the IRS requirements, please contact our office.

Due to the additional requirements associated with group tax exemption, Network members must complete a separate application, which may be submitted along with a prospective member’s Network application or submitted separately by current Network members. Please contact our office to receive the group tax exemption application.

There is a non-refundable application fee for the group tax exemption application in addition to the application fee for prospective Network members. Additionally, a onetime, setup fee is due upon acceptance into the group tax exemption program. Lastly, inclusion in the program must be renewed by the member annually, subject to the requirements listed below.

To continue to participate in the program members must provide the following by July 31 of each year:
