There is no reason for a church to have an apostolic covering if the church doesn't benefit from the relationship.  If the only one receiving benefits is the apostle, something is wrong.  Following are some areas that a church and its leaders should benefit from apostolic covering:

 

* Counsel - In vision, helping to define it, refine it and articulate it.   In doctrine, to help deal with doctrinal issues confronting a church or causing division in the church.   In church discipline, this is especially helpful in difficult cases to avoid personal attacks against leadership when a member needs discipline.

 

* Protection - This is to provide an atmosphere of safety and security for both the pastor and the people.   To protect the people- if a leader falls into error or sin or becomes dictatorial, the congregation knows they have someone to appeal to, helping to avoid a church split.   To protect the pastor - At times the Pastor needs someone to speak on his behalf. He needs protection against false accusations.

 

* Accountability - Having apostolic covering gives the pastor someone to be accountable to, someone to talk to, relate to and just sound off to.

 

* Confirmation - Apostolic covering can be used to confirm and ordain elders and other 5-fold gifts in the church. Having someone else to interview and confirm candidates for ministry can provide an objective view that is often missing in independent churches.           

 

* Encouragement - Visits by apostolic covering can bring encouragement and blessing to a local church.

 

* Commitment - Apostolic covering doesn't work unless there is a level of commitment by a pastor and congregation. Every pastor knows the value and importance of commitment in the local church. A level of commitment is needed if you're going to entrust someone with ministry responsibility in the local church.  As an apostolic network we have come to realize that there are some basic commitments a pastor and local church need to make to fully benefit from apostolic oversight:

 

First, set aside a time to meet with the overseer or attend services that KKG may conduct throughout the year.  This will provide an opportunity:

 

• To increase vision 

 

• To build relationships  

 

• To encourage fellowship 

 

• To receive teaching and ministry  

 

• To connect with a global vision 

 

• To be personally strengthened and refreshed

 

 

Secondly, participate financially - One of the signs that a church is committed to KKG is regular financial support.  As an apostolic ministry we believe that every participating church and ministry should be giving consistently.

 

Jesus taught that one of the evidences that people were receiving the Word of God was their willingness to support the messengers financially (Matthew 10:5-14).

 

We are cautious as an apostolic ministry regarding the subject of finances. We know there is much confusion and abuse in this area in the body of Christ.

 

We believe the laborer is worthy of his wages (1 Tim.5:18) and that churches receiving ministry from the apostolic ministry should financially support the ministry.

 

As an International Ministry that is committed to reaching the nations, there are many things that need to be done that will require financial support.
