CONECT Overview

The Challenge

Are you passionate about transforming your city with the gospel of the kingdom? Many churches, ministries and networks seeking to do this today face several challenges or questions such as:

How can we find other churches passionate about transforming my city?
How can we connect with other local churches from other denominations yet maintain our unique identity?
How do we connect with leaders from all seven spheres of society and how do we assemble the elders at the city gates?
How can we coordinate our prayer and outreach efforts?
How can we discover God's unique strategy for our city?
How do we combine prayer with strategic action?
When is the best time to mobilize and connect the body of Christ?

The Solution

The solution is found in the kingdom strategy applied through Operation Rolling Thunder (ORT).

Phase I - In Phase I ORT connects the National Day of Prayer with the Global Day of Prayer with 24/7 prayer in a city, county or region. A CONECTer oversees and coordinates the 24/7 prayer will connecting leaders passionate about transformation. These leaders form a Transformation Task Force representing the seven spheres of society.

Phase II - In Phase II 24/7 prayer over a city, county or region is maintained 365 days a year and the Transformation Task Force forms 7 apostolic councils. A Chapter of CONECT provides the tools and training to facilitate connecting leaders, churches, ministries and networks.

CONECT stands for the "Christian Outreach Network Establishing City-wide Teamwork." It is a strategic communication strategy that provides a biblical way to facilitate 24/7 prayer in a church/city/county/region while simultaneously connecting the elders at the city gates. It provides a way to connect local churches who are passionate about transforming a common area such as a city, county or region. CONECT fosters interdependence while empowering each local church or network to maintain its unique identity.

Chapters of CONECT - CONECT is implemented in a church, city, county, network or region through "chapters." A Chapter of CONECT consists of a Transformation Task Force (TTF) and one who is trained as a "CONECTer." The (fill in the blank with the church, network, ministry, city, county name) Chapter of CONECT enables each entity to maintain its own unique identity while strategically connecting through their corporate relationships to the different parts of the body of Christ.

The vision to transform their city or region through the gospel of the kingdom initiates unity. The corporate relationships maintained through the Chapters of CONECT are what sustain unity.
