Who
is CONECT designed for?
CONECT is designed to:
Serve church leaders
who are passionate about seeing their city transformed.
Transformation can be described as seeing measurable change in
activities that express sin (such as crime rates) as well as church
growth in many churches in the community.
Serve church leaders
who are overwhelmed with the volume of information, prayer requests,
praise reports, watchman reports, etc.

What
is CONECT?
CONECT is the Christian Outreach Network Establishing City-wide
Teamwork. It is a few simple
concepts based upon some major principles of warfare that are Biblically
based. The goal of CONECT is
to:
Build a Wall of
Prayer
Establish the Watch
of the Lord
These
two actions help establish a strong base of operations in a local church
or the church in a city.
Establish a
Strategic
Communication
Center
Equip leaders to
think and act strategically by providing training on the Biblical
Principles of Corporate Spiritual Warfare.

How
does CONECT serve church leaders?
It serves church leaders in two ways.
First, it provides
leaders with training on the Biblical Principles of Corporate Spiritual
Warfare. These are the same
major principles taught to professional military leaders over the last
2500 years. They worked because they are Biblically based.
Church leaders desiring to learn to think and act strategically
will benefit.
Second, CONECT
trains and equips others to serve the leadership by providing them with
the tools and training to administrate CONECT for the leadership.
-
Is
CONECT complicated?
No.
The concepts are
simple and the practical application or process is less complicated than
the processes used in local churches to steward their finances.
It just takes a little time and effort to set it up initially.
The only people requiring on going training would be the
CONECTer’s in a city or the Communication Center Coordinator found in
each local church. Watchman
Ministries Int. would provide ongoing training and support for these
people. The goal is to assist leaders in being good stewards of their
people’s time, effort and reports generated through increased prayer.
-
Who
would benefit from CONECT?
Any local church or group of Christians desiring to build
teamwork or work better together would benefit from applying any number
of aspects of CONECT.
-
Do
I have to implement the whole thing or can I implement only part of
CONECT?
Build the wall of
prayer (recommended for all)
Set a watch (from 1
hour to 24 hours a day)
Spy out the land or
gather spiritual intelligence via intercession, prayer walks or research
Assign a
Communication Center Coordinator to administrate the watch and to
consolidate reports generated via increased prayer and presenting a
consolidated report to leaders on a regular basis.
Train your leaders
in the Biblical Principles of Corporate Spiritual Warfare
We offer 3 courses
in our War College to Train watchmen, intercessors, leaders,
Communication Center Coordinators and CONECTers. Check out WMI's
Spiritual War College for an overview.

Is
a computer required?
No. However, a
computer can be very helpful. CONECT
is a concept of stewardship. The
idea is to assist leaders in gathering the reports or spiritual
intelligence generated through increased prayer of their people.
Then, those reports are consolidated into a concise overview so
as always keep leaders informed of the spiritual condition of their
people and the spiritual opposition arrayed against their vision or
assignment. In its simplest
form, CONECT can be administrated out of a notebook.
It is recommended that an up and coming leader who is faithful
and loyal be assigned the responsibility to administrate CONECT in a
local church. If CONECT is
to be implemented in a city with numerous local churches participating,
then it is recommended that a leader be chosen who is faithful and has a
heart to serve the church in their city.
