A Message from Peter Wagner

Dear friends of Global Harvest:
Over the past few months we have been making some exciting changes in GHM. I am
embarrassed to admit that it was only recently that I realized that GHM is an
apostolic network. I was leading GHM apostolically, but only to a point. We
were ministering with bits and pieces, but our whole ministry had no over all
comprehensive structure. The catalyst for this renewed thinking has been Craig
Davis, Wagner Leadership Institute Provost, who has been working closely with
Doris, Chuck Pierce, and me over the past few weeks.
I am sending you a copy of the first version of a chart which depicts what we
are calling "Global Apostolic Network." This is the first time we have seen all
the pieces we have been dealing with as parts of a whole. I can now comprehend
the assignment that God has given GHM for this season much more clearly. As I
have meditated on this chart, I am now prepared to make a rather bold
statement, hopefully with the appropriate modesty and humility. I don't think
it is immodest to realistically recognize what God is asking you to do. Our job
at GHM is to connect the different components of the apostolic movement as
broadly as posible. I am not aware of any similar group that is connecting as
many apostolic leaders in different fields as the Global Apostolic Network is
doing at the present time.
Let me walk you through the chart with brief description of each activity. The
different units are listed in random order, not in order of longevity or
importance.
The heading is Global Apostolic Network. Doris, Chuck Pierce and I form the
Apostolic Team. We serve under the GHM Board of Directors. Essential to the
ministry in general are Life Partners who contribute toward my salary, Harvest
Partners who contribute regularly to the ministry, and Prayer Partners who
intercede for us.
a.. The Hamilton Group (THG). This is made up of the members of my Eagles
Vision Apostolic Team (EVAT) to whom I give primary apostolic covering. THG is
a distribution infrastructure to handle some of the great transfer of wealth we
are expecting. The motto is: "Sophisticated Philanthropy for Apostolic
Distribution."
b.. United States Global Apostolic Prayer Network (USGAPN). Chuck Pierce is
the point person for this. He mobilizes, motivates, and manages a company of
high-level prophetic intercessors with an Apostolic Council and Coordinators in
all 50 states. The USGAPN is arguably the strongest ongoing prayer network that
we have had in our country.
c.. Apostolic Council for Educational Accountability (ACEA). This provides
connection, relationships, and accountability to the schools of al kinds which
have been raised to equip the saints in the various apostolic networks around
the country and abroad. Currently there are over 80 member institutions which
pay their dues and attend an annual meeting. Leo Lawson is our ACEA Ambassador.
d.. International Coalition of Apostles (ICA). Over 500 recognized apostles
have membership in ICA. It provides an unparalleled chance for them to meet,
relate to, and connect with peers and gain certification of their apostolic
ministry. They go through a rigid application process, pay dues, and attend an
annual meeting. John Kelly and Chuck Pierce help me lead ICA.
e.. Wagner Leadership Institute (WLI). This is a new wineskin training school
for equipping the saints in every field of ministry under a faculty of
successful apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. With Craig
Davis as Provost, WLI Central has now formed an Educational Apostolic Network
with 12 international WLIs plus 18 regional WLIs throughout our nation.
f.. International Society of Deliverance Ministers (ISDM). More than 150
recognized deliverance ministers have been approved as members of ISDM. The
annual meeting furnishes them a chance to connect with and learn from each
other, as well as to become mutually accountable. Doris and I provide apostolic
leadership and Bill Sudduth is the ISDM Ambassador. I would like to see ISDM
grow to 500 members as the next step.
g.. Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders (ACPE). A group of 25 respected
prophets meet with me every fall to seek a word from the Lord for the following
year. Meanwhile, we all stay in touch with each other and we support each
other's ministries as opportunity arises. Cindy Jacobs prepares the agenda and
serves as the ACPE Scribe to compile and issue the forthcoming prophetic
document. This is a closed group.
I'm sorry to burden you with such a lengthy communication, but I felt that we
needed a comprehensive document setting forth what we do here at Global
Harvest. Thank you for partnering with us in many ways. This is exciting!
Blessings,
Peter
