PARTNERSHIPS
IN MINISTRY
MINISTERS, CHURCHES,
COMMUNITIES, & CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATIONS
"Working Together as One Body with Many
Parts" to Solve Problems and Help those in
Need
Locally, Nationally & Globally.
No
one church or organization has the resources or the manpower to
solve the problems, but by working together in unity we can solve
the needs of individuals, families, and the community!
 The
Alliance of Accredited Ministers and Churches is focused on
encouraging individuals, pastors, churches, and organizations to
work together to solve the needs of individuals and families in
the community. No one person or group has the complete answer, but
we all as one body can accomplish all things through Christ (Jesus
is the head and we as believers are the body).
We are responsible…..
When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, we want our hand
always to be there. For that we are responsible .
We are responsible both to God
and each other.

About the "Proble ms"
There are two major hurtles to overcome
to deal with the the needs. We all
know the problems. Everyone is affected one way or the other by
the problems, either as a victim or just by increased taxes. Many
today do not feel that there is hope, or even that there is a
future, for us, or our children. Governments do not have the
solution. In fact many government leaders have thrown up their
hands because they do not see any solutions to these problems.
More
taxes and throwing more money at the problem are not the solution.
These problems un-solvable by man, and can only be changed by
Jesus as these things are matters of the heart. When the heart is
changed, everything changes; work, home, service to community and
God. People become productive, giving instead of taking.
 When
the church helps facilitate this, all win; individuals, families,
the church, and the community.
The second major
hurtle to overcome is our beliefs
which is probably the biggest hurtle to overcome in deciding
whether or not we are responsible for the plight of others. Our
Covenants, promises, and blessings from God is effected when we as
the church are not taking care of the needs of others. How?
We are commanded to love God with all of our heart and love our neighbor
as ourselves. Loving our neighbor is caring and doing something
about their needs. If we do not care enough to do something then
where is our love for God? Our Love for God effects our covenant
with God and His will for His people.
How it Works!
Top
The
first step to fixing anything is to take responsibility for it. In
doing so we can do something about it. By
the church understanding the needs of individuals and responding
to those needs in unity (corporately as one body), interceding in
prayer and the willingness to do something, Jesus will supply the need.
We judge people worth or not by what we do or do
not do.
Jesus
has called His church (body), to be holy (separated). To be a
light!
The
Solutions to the Worlds Problems rest in the hands of the
believer!
II Chronicles 7:14
God has promised
that if we come in humility, turn from our wicked ways, God will
hear our prayers and heal the land.

Job Placement,
Transitional Housing, And
Food Distribution, Locally,
and Globally!
Recognizing
that there are many who have dedicated their lives to help solve
the problems. Our Daily Bread, Missions, Ministries, Bible
Institute and its local chapters have worked together to design
the program, Partnerships in Ministry, combining and utilizing the
resources of existing ministries, local churches and the
community.
Working
with existing prison ministries ODB can supply Bibles, tracts, and
correspondence studies. Local chapters working with churches
helping to establish Fellowship Houses for the transition back to
the community once released from prison, connecting the person
being released, and their families with local churches for
support. At the same time ODB and its volunteers work to help
place the individual(s) back in the work force.
It's a Choice!
Top
We as the
leaders of the church are responsible not only to those in need,
but God, and our congregations as well! We teach our congregations
to either be sensitive to God or not. It is not possible to be
sensitive to God and ignore the needs of those around us. We lead
our congregations either towards sensitivity and God's will for us
or we lead them down a path to destruction, which will be devastating
for us.
If we the
church, continue to do the same things that we have always done,
we will probably continue to get the same results.
James
1:22, 2:15-18
We the church
are called to be doers of the Word and not hearers only! James
is not talking about just preaching, but interceding, loving our
neighbor as ourselves.
If a brother
or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food. And one
of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled;
notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful
to the body; what doeth it profit? Even so faith, if it
hath not works, is dead, being alone.
A Call to
Action! Top
Its time for all
believers to come together to pray, tithe, and become involved. We
have the solution, but do we have the resolve? What can our excuse
be?

As
a member of the Association you are also doing something to help end
Hunger, Starvation, and Homelessness in America and the world. We
believe as ministers and churches that it is in part our responsibility
to end the needless waste of life. We support ODB and Ministries
Food Bank (Loaves & Fishes) in its efforts
to end the needless suffering.
Catch
the vision, together we can make a difference! We have His
Covenant on it! As Ministers in faith we have to hold His
Covenant. As leaders ,
our Congregations will not do something if we
are not willing to lead them, and if we are not willing to lead,
then we are not leaders.
Top
We
need to all understand who we are in Christ, what our authority is
and what is our responsibility to a hurting world. If we all
understood our authority through Christ, (the anointed), and His
gifts to us, the world could not be in it’s current shape. The
costs of not going to God are war, disease, poverty, droughts,
starvation and death. It was never meant that we should have a
world with all of these disasters happening.
As a partner,
either joining an existing chapter or beginning your own, you are
joining a group dedicated to the Word, Jesus Christ and the work
of the ministry. Helping to get the Word to all in need and as we
help others, they through Christ begin to help themselves. Help us
supply Bibles and study material to prisons, nursing homes,
hospitals and the military.
Help as you work
with inmates in prison. With counseling, mentor-ships, seminars in
churches, schools, etc.
Help to
establish more Fellowship Houses to serve as transitional housing
for prisoners released from prison or for people with drug and
alcohol problems. Fellowship Houses offer a unique opportunity for
growth as they seek God; work in the community to help those in
need as they themselves were helped.
Each chapter of
Our Daily Bread Ministries is self-supporting and self governing.
As we work together to help each other the Body becomes stronger
as we become one with Christ. Fellowship Houses are formed with
the idea of seeking God. Partners strive to live the life that
Christ lived.
T ogether, as
the Body of Christ, we are the Body of God's anointing, grace,
justice, and love on the earth today. Each one of us has a
God-given supply of anointing to offer the people in the world and
the Body. God gave this planet to His people through covenant and
partnership. "If it going to get done, it is up to us,
through Christ."
You have a supply of God's anointing that we the body needs. We
have a supply of God's anointing that you need, and so on. It is
like the flame of a candle. One flame has some light, but when
multiple flames are intertwined together through Jesus the light
and the warm can be felt across the world. It is also felt in the
world when we do not come together. In order for that anointing to
flow among us in its greatest potential, we must join together. We
must become divinely connected.
How? Through Partnership.
Top
As a partner you have a voice in what is happening. That voice
determines what we do. As a Partner this ministry is in Part your
ministry. We are Partners with God and He with us. God's Word
tells us that partnership in ministry is the most powerful
relationship on the face of the earth. It is a covenant
relationship based on the blood of Jesus. It is a relationship of
the highest honor. Consequently, it is a relationship of the
highest commitment.
At Our Daily Bread, Missions, partnership is more than just a
commitment—it's a covenant relationship. We have come to
understand that the better our relationship is with our partners,
the better our relationship with God will be. We know that God
provides for our ministry through your prayers, words of
encouragement and support, and in turn, we do everything we can to
be a blessing to you. We pray, work to end starvation, disease and
homelessness, and stand in faith with each one of our partners for
God's anointing in your life and work to minister to your needs
through every available method and voice.
Partnership allows each of us to join our individual anointing’s
together—to be stronger and to become a beacon of light as a
united body can be through Jesus, and touch more lives than we
could individually. So whether you're the CEO of a major
corporation, a single working parent or a mother home-schooling
your children, minister, church or Christian organization, God
wants you to be a part of something BIG—right where you are.
