Youth With A Mission—Northwood This catalog will be updated regularly and all the information will be available on the Harvest Network International website. For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them according... (Romans 12:4-6) A Message From Jim Anderson Harvest Network International was birthed in 1985 to provide context, community, and covering for Spirit-filled, Great Commission oriented congregations and their pastoral leaders. However, our foundational documents also gave a significant place to the scriptural reality taught by Paul in Ephesians 4:11-13 that Jesus provides His church with a rich and essential diversity of leaders. This “FiveFold” diversity of servant-leaders includes apostles, prophets, evangelists, and teachers, as well as pastors. The roles of each of these offices were defined and affirmed in our original constitution and by-laws. Because we affirmed this plurality of leadership, HNI began to receive applications for membership from anointed men and women called to a broad array of ministries outside of a congregational context. Over the years, this trend has attracted many para-church leaders to HNI and made our five-fold diversity one of our unique strengths. This directory is dedicated to the superb teachers, Christian counselors, missions mobilizers, chaplains, healing ministers, kingdom entrepreneurs, and administrators that have become vital members of HNI. I pray this directory will accomplish two great goals: Awareness: Establish a greater awareness of the exceptional para-church ministers and organizations God has called to HNI, and Partnerships: Increase the working partnerships between HNI’s congregations and these wonderful ministries.
