    • Divine Healing Equips People

    Posted by on Mar 6th, 2009 in Equipping
    Author: Pastor Gary Jarvis
    The literal meaning of the word translated as “equip” in the New Testament means “To set a broken bone, or to mend a net.”  So as we equip people for works of service in God’s Kingdom, we can’t just focus on training programs, but we must also focus on healing.  We all have brokenness in our lives caused by hurts, sin, disease, skewed beliefs.  But to truly be equipped is to be healed by God in all facets (spiritually, emotionally, physically) in order to fully be all God is calling us to be.

    This definition, again, was raised up to me as nine other people from New Hope and I went to a Prayer and Healing Conference hosted by Christ’s Community Church and led by Tim Vink, the Director of Church Multiplication in the Reformed Church in America .  After the two-day conference, we came back equipped and renewed by our belief in the power of the risen Christ, and his will to equip us.  The teaching was powerful, and the Spirit of God moved and healed a number of people.  If you are interested in more information on what was taught at the conference, you can go to the following weblink; http://www.rca.org/Page.aspx?pid=4201 .

    Equipping Mission

    Providing personal, relational, Christ-Centered growth through ministry in the church, community, world, and the whole of life.

    Equipping Vision

    Leaders are relieved of their burdens as they encounter God. They feel free to learn, share, and take action. They are astonished by their growth through lessons, reflection, and peer interaction. They can't wait to get out there and serve their ministries. With boldness they lead the charge over their ministries, their own personal growth, and the ministry growth of those they lead.

    The Equipping Process

    1. Calling - We help Christ's servants find their God-given shape and vision in ministry.
    2. Connecting - We connect Christ's servants to a meaningful place of service and make them a part of the team.
    3. Coaching - We walk alongside Christ's servants as they serve to maximize growth and fruit.
    4. Changing - We help people make changes in their life to ensure they are in alignment with Christ's call.
