Men Action Group Networking Eating Time (MAGNET)
Mission:
To have like-minded shepherds sticking together
to become a major draw for those who are spiritually hungry.
What MAGNET does?
We are a group of like-minded men who trust our Lord to help us
to disciple other families so that the lost ones be found and become
fruitful by themselves. We commit to having the compassion of
a
father in consolidating our sheeps and guide them towards the
vision God has designed for each one of them.
Good
Question:
What does a shepherd do?
He always groups his sheeps together and count them and care for
them by their names, the action of grouping and counting and nurturing is called
Consolidation (as
in G12). A good shepherd adds to his number, a bad one loses many.
Food for thoughts:
Consolidation is about PARENTING!!
Cesar
Castellanos: Consolidation depends on the leaders’ ability
to transmit the Parental Responsibility to Each Member of their
church so that they understand the value of Each Soul that
God puts into
their hands and can give them the care that they require-that
is, the SAME CARE AS FOR A NEW-BORN BABY.
More Good Questions:
Must I be a shepherd?
Definitely, it is God’s commandment. The Lord has sent
us to bear fruits and that our fruits should remain.
What does a shepherd aim at?
He helps each sheep to be successful!
How?
By knowing and helping each sheep to find his dream - the value
God puts to each soul.
Where
is my strength?
Like Paul, he is not just making disciples but with the compassion
of a father. Paul said to the Galatians: ‘My little CHILDREN,
for whom I labour in birth again until Christ is formed in you.” Galatians
4:19
DESSERTS
OR STRESSED?
When
the Lord went to pick the fruit of a fig tree and found only
leaves, He
was so indignant that He cursed it. When the Lord comes
to our church, He looks for fruits but some have only leaves
(many
activities) because they do not have a proper strategy for consolidating
the new believers – the fruits have not remained (Matthews
21:18-19)
Who should join MAGNET?
Every man should join for he possesses these characteristics:
- Willingness to hear and obey what God
says (My sheep will recognize
my voice)
- Dare to dream your sheeps' dreams
- Looking for a reason to live vibrantly again
- Humility, a submissive heart; for each man is mature and is
not short of anything, he doesn’t see people’s shortcomings
but chooses to accomplish the great commission by helping his
leader to be successful.
- (For the married man) Nurture,
groom and lead your wife to succeed in His ministry
