Fellowship

Winter Conference 2010
Daytona Beach, Florida
A Family Church
Pastors Pete Keirstead/Pastor Jamie Shultz

What an amazing time we experienced as we gathered together to focus and hear from heaven.  From the opening address to the closing time of communion there was no question that Winter Conference had been ordained by God.  A Family Church was the perfect location for such an event.  There was unanimous consent that it was now time to focus the network back to being a family instead of an organization.  WE were established as an organism not an organization.

The word of the Lord flowed freely from Prophet Scott Stimson, Bishop Gary Clowers, Pastor Dale Carver, Prophet Roger Hutchins, and Bishop David Huskins.  The atmosphere was charged with a knowing that God had indeed started a new thing in our midst and it was marvelous in His eyes.  With the Haiti earthquake so fresh on all of our minds and one of our own still unaccounted for almost in a sovereign fashion immediately after prayer for our missing family members the call came and our Pastor Daniel was accounted for safely.  Hallelujah. 

With a new passion for the nations and the next generation we prayed and prophesied over the youth and all in attendance and committed our funds and energy to the rebuilding of Haiti.  A Family Church is on the cutting edge of social activism in the community and accordingly there was an appointment and decree from the Presiding Bishop of Pastor Pete Keirstead as Social Director and liaison for Fellowship of Vineyard Harvester Churches.   There was also the re-commissioning of Prophet Roger Hutchins as the liaison for the office of the Bishop.

Recognizing the heart of God is for His family to fill the earth with the Glory of God, we determined to be identified as a family and those who are looking for an organization instead of a release and activation from a family can certainly fellowship with us but can also find a structure anywhere.  WE will seek out our family and our bones.  Prophet Roger gave an amazing illustration on the subject of what it means to be joined. 

We all left with a renewed sense of purpose and direction that God has given us our greatest opportunity to be effective in the whole of creation.  The growth and partnership that has been opened to us to media outlets, governments, other networks, and social agencies is unprecedented.  It is vital that all who feel they are a part of this family begin to sow to the nations as the reaping of the harvest begins.  July will be a SHIFTING SEASON and SEASON of RELEASE…don’t miss it.
