experienced growth, renewal and a restoration of the altar experiences for God’s people.
Exegetical and therapeutic preaching gives people the opportunity to encounter the gospel

of need and then cements the work of the cross through a prayer of commitment. Pentecostal
ministry means giving people an opportunity to not only hear about Spirit empowered living but
the chance to hear about the Holy Spirit and respond to an invitation to receive and then live in
the fullness of the Spirit.

THE MISSION OF YOUR MINISTRY NETWORK IS EASY TO REMEMBER
AND EVEN EASIER TO SUPPORT. WHAT IS IT?
“STRENGTHENING A NETWORK OF HEALTHY LEADERS AND HEALTHY
CHURCHES ALL ACROSS NEW YORK.”
In other words, seeing gospel transformation in our own hearts, churches and communities,
will bear fruit long term. Doing the right things for the right reasons will attract God’s favor and
blessing. Working together to move ahead with each other (and not of each other) will simply
please the Lord.
Our burden and the burden (or passion) of many others is that:
• Every leader has access to the resources they need to succeed
• Every leader is connected in life-giving relationships
REV.. BILL KIRK • Every struggling church is moving towards health
• Every community has a life-giving church where people are rescued
and being discipled for the Glory of God!
May we always remember; it’s the Lord who builds His church – and He honors us by allowing us
A word to participate in His great work. We don’t have to do this – we get to do this!

Discipleship & Children is a vital ministry of the NY Ministry Network that is here to equip, resource and
network churches and leaders. Discipleship and the Disciple Well campaign on the national level has begun to
roll out with the new Bible Engagement Project. Kids Ministries is strengthened by a great partnership with the
AG KidMin team. We are excited for the future of Discipleship and Children’s Ministries.
