We are committed to establishing a New Testament Apostolic Church in NYC that will be a model for others seeking true biblical church structure as well as the level of anointing that we see in the Book of Acts.
In fact I believe the anointing that God wants to release in these last days will be greater than what we read about in the early church! This, however, requires change. The way we do church must change. We must go back to the pattern. An excerpt from Harold Eberle’s book "The Complete Wineskin" (restructuring the church for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit), poses this scenario: "Imagine a New Testament church in your area. First, picture an apostle with a direct commission from Jesus to establish a work in your city. That apostle would have the anointing to draw together a team of prophets, a teacher, those with gifts of miracles and healing, helps ministers, administrators, and tongues-speaking prayer warriors. Envision those elders gathered together on a regular basis, seeking the Lord, ministering to Him, and receiving direction (Acts 13:1-3). Now place five evangelists working among the high schoolers, and five more among the grade- school children. Send out anointed evangelists to reach your city through radio and television; allow them to share the Gospel under the leading of the Holy Spirit with every home in your city once or twice each year. Place five or more evangelists working among the senior citizens in the rest homes and community centers. Now choose pastors with true
hearts for God’s people. Do not burden them with building programs
or financial concerns, but send them out to visit the lame, the blind,
the imprisoned, the orphan, and the widow. Commission an army of shepherds
to invite straying Christians over for dinner, to minister to their
families, and to draw them out of the world. Assign fifty pastors who
have hearts for the children to telephone those children and visit them
in their homes. Let others care for the older saints, loving them and
watching over their personal needs. Have twenty or thirty pastors open
their homes to gather in the lost sheep. And bring them all into the
house of God where the apostles, prophets, and teachers can equip and
strengthen them.
In addition we labor citywide to see unity in the body of Christ without which we cannot see the revival we so desire. Working with the leaders of the church seeking God’s vision, plans, and strategy that will advance the Kingdom of God here in NYC.
