SHEPHERD TO SHEPHERD NETWORK SHEPHERD TO SHEPHERD NETWORK is a Fellowship of Pastors who are committed to the call the Lord has placed upon their lives. We are committed to the call to preach, to lead, to care, to build, and to better the body of Christ. It is our desire to lead the people of faith through the most excellent, most impacting, and most effective pastoral ministry possible. In addition, we are Pastors who understand that our vocation has its share of personal and professional challenges. The pastorate alone and the work that is demanded of us can create unique pressures and problems to which only another pastor can relate. Because SSN Believes Iron sharpers Iron Proverbs 27. 17 SSNP is a fellowship that endeavors to encourage, assist, edify, and celebrate one another in kingdom work. To this end, we have all entered into a special covenant for the cause of becoming and being the pastors that God has called us to be. We are pastors in covenant for the purpose of kingdom building, we desire to connect and network our efforts towards the revitalization of Church leadership. SSN is non-denominational and does not legally bind its members. Though we have guidelines which we follow we do not seek to be an instrument of ecclesiastical restraint, thus each fellowship church who willingly connects with this vision shall continue to maintain their own autonomy. We, more than anything, seek the true essence of partnership and ministry which is to pray, encourage, give spiritual guidance and support to the members of the Body of Christ. Our focus is not on denominational and traditional strongholds but on promoting independence and fellowship while maintaining accountability.

SHEPHERD TO SHEPHERD NETWORK

The bible makes it very clear that we are to conduct ourselves in love- and love is the glue of this oneness! Peace and Love keep us knit together. Why is it important to be one? Because it is a testimony to the world- so that all would believe in Jesus and understand how much the Lord God loves them. Jesus came to make us one, taking away the dividing line of jew and gentile. How can we be one body if we continue to fight?

Oneness is the work of the Holy Spirit– He gathers us together as one and filling us together with His Holy Power to do good works. How can the toe go off by itself and what

SHEPHERD TO SHEPHERD NETWORK Are you a Pastor who need an International Standard Ministerial License, Ordination or Consecration as a Reverend Minister, Apostle, Bishop? Please contact us shepherdtoshepherd@gmail.com Becoming an ordained minister is an important step for anyone looking for advancement in his or her relationship with God and a way to experience personal growth or renewed social status. An ordained minister certificate proves that you have taken the next step in your spiritual advancement. Shepherd to Shepherd View of Ordination

SHEPHERD TO SHEPHERD NETWORK

The view of ordination in the Shepherd to Shepherd is predicated upon Biblical principles and is consonant with the evangelical view. The following characteristics comprise the Shepherd to Shepherd view. Ordination can be defined as the public ceremony by which the Movement acknowledges the divine call, commission and qualification of a person to ministry in the Shepherd to Shepherd; extends its blessings, fellowship and opportunities; receives his/her pledge of dedication, faithfulness and loyalty; and invokes divine enablement for success in life and ministry. Ordination is important as a public acknowledgement of God’s prior call and commission. All Christians are equal, but ministers are set apart for special, full-time Christian service and leadership. Ordination is performed only after a careful examination of the candidate as to qualification on six essential points: • The genuineness of his/her Christian experience; • The sufficiency of his/her spiritual, moral, emotional, and social maturity; • The reality of his/her divine call;  The correctness of his/her doctrine;  • The adequacy of his/her preparation and practical abilities; and • The acceptability of his/her allegiance to the Movement’s policies and programs. No vocation is more worthy of a goal of excellence than the gospel ministry. Since ordination is the goal, test and testimony of maturity, doctrinal purity, and proficiency in life and ministry, it is the primary point at which concentrated effort should occur. Benefits of Ordination to the Minister.

ble assurance that the fruit of one’s ministry will be preserved. 4 Ordination qualifies the minister to meet civil requirements for certain functions of ministry such as weddings, and serving on certain community, state, and federal boards or agencies, etc 5 Ordained ministers command respect from their peers, but also carry the responsibility of upholding a new degree of integrity and spiritual awareness. These responsibilities, if properly managed, often lead to a stronger connection with God. Qualifications and Responsibilities The qualifications for bishops, as set forth in 1 Timothy 3:1 -7 and Titus 1:5-9, are the norm for all ministers today, along with stated qualifications taken from the General Council Constitution and Bylaws. Ordination to full gospel ministry is a most responsible step for all concerned. Grave responsibilities fall to the Movement which ordains, to the minister who is ordained, and to those who are ministered to by the ordained. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath Anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised (Luke 4:18). Being an ordained minister from Shepherd to Shepherd Network of Clergy’s will open new doors for you, both spiritually and socially.

1 Ordination serves as a goal which represents a high level of spiritual, moral, emotional, social, intellectual, and ministerial maturity. This is not an end in itself as the ordained minister will need to continue to grow in all of these areas personally and professionally.

Please contact us @

2 Ordination provides the minister the opportunity of corporate judgment as to the genuineness of his Christian experience; the sufficiency of his spiritual, moral, emotional, and social maturity; the reality of his divine call; the correctness of his doctrine; the adequacy of his preparation and practical abilities; and the acceptability of his allegiance to the Movement’s policies and programs.

3 Ordination opens opportunities of ministry in the Shepherd to Shepherd movement. It is an essential key for acceptance in pastoral, evangelistic, administrative, teaching, chaplaincy, and other ministries. A corollary to this is that ministry in the Movement provides reasona10

28:19). If Christians do not embrace the vision of becoming godly leaders and stretching to become such, unrighteous men and women will rule in many areas of society. Society is then hurt because the wisdom, revelation, anointing, and power of God are not sought by our leaders to solve society’s dilemmas.

Our Mission Statement: It is the mission of Leadership Training School to raise up Spiritual anointed leaders who disciple nations.

Our Statement of Purpose Our purpose is to raise up Spiritual anointed leaders who can hear the voice of God, understand the principles of the Bible, and allow the Holy Spirit to apply these principles to the various disciplines of life. We will guide our students in building a broad-based paradigm for discovering truth. They will discover their God-given motivations and giftedness, and how to allow the voice, vision, and anointing of God to flow through these motivations and gifts to disciple the areas in which they work and minister. Students will become skilled at integrating the heart and the mind. This will contribute to fulfilling the great commission of Jesus, to “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations...” (Matt.

Everyone in society suffers as a consequence. However, when the righteous rule, greater opportunity is given for a godly social order. Ultimately, each person in society must make his or her own personal decision to follow Jesus. Spiritual servant-leadership does not and cannot force Christian commitment upon individual lives, but it can nurture an environment in which Godliness is enhanced. The alternative is an un-godly environment in which wickedness flourishes. We ask you to join us in choosing righteous leadership, and in becoming one of these righteous leaders. Becoming a leader will stretch you far beyond your wildest imagination, and make you a much larger person inwardly than you ever dreamed you could become. It is often a painful, yet exhilarating, process. It involves death and resurrection in area after area of your life, as you die to your own strength and the anointing of Jesus becomes alive in you. It is a road which must be walked over an extended period of your life. Those who do not quit achieve the reward of becoming Spirit-anointed leaders who help in discipline a sphere of influence. Our commitment is to guide you along a path to such a destination.
