Who are we?
We, the____________________-, are a growing network of individual home-based Christian
Missions and Ministries established by men and women as a personal
response to the Holy Spirit's call to rebuild the Body of Christ, the
Church; starting first with our own conversion and commitment to the
Gospel. Following the model and example of Christendom's most well known
and beloved saint, Francis of Assisi, we strive to reach out in love and
service to God and our fellow human beings.
Our
Order is open to all people. We give equal consideration to candidates
who have been previously ordained or who have had religious life
training as well as to those who have no prior religious life
experience. Each member works independently and in the manner directed
by the Spirit to minister to God's children from within the framework of
his or her respective religious tradition.
We
are not seeking people who think they are perfect, but rather those who
realize that they are imperfect, and who desire a deeper relationship
with God and humanity through a spirit-filled life of prayer, fellowship
and stewardship to Jesus Christ, in the manner of St. Francis.
We
dedicate ourselves to continue his ministry and mission to the whole
Church. Jesus, the Stone which the builders rejected, shall be
our cornerstone. Following the example of St. Francis, we accept the
"stones" that God offers us to rebuild His House. We do not
discriminate against qualified candidates based upon age, gender,
racial, ethnic or national origin, physical challenges, marital status,
gender orientation, previous religious life experience, profession or
ordination, work or professional background, socio-economic status,
education, or place of residence.
