There is great value in using an organization model that is in harmony with the economic realities of our times. Networking is the model that grew out of the emerging information age of the late 20th century. Anything that gets done today in any field is accomplished through some kind of network. As times change, any organization wanting to stay in touch with the times seriously needs to adapt and change the way it conducts its business. A church is no exception.
There is a major difference, however, between churches and other organizations such as businesses. Churches, by definition, include a spiritual dimension. Other organzations or corporations may be able to get along just fine without prayer or Holy Spirit direction. Not so, the church. Prayer is an absolute essential for successful church life. If the Holy Spirit is not resident in the church, the church has no hope of being what it should be.
Specifically, as relates to the subject of this blog, Teamnet Ministries can only work as the entire process of church life is bathed in prayer at every step. This is vital to the success of the mission. As prayer is the life of the believer, so it is also the very life of the church. Without prayer -- serious, constant, and searching prayer, neither this nor any other system of church governance has any hope of success.
