Body are flowing and functioning together as a unified force of change, as salt and light. The question of our time is not should we train our leaders, for certainly we must. The real question is how do we properly train the saints of God for effective service, while maintaining our key leaders for the future building of the church both local and universal?<\/p><p>The need for similar training centers still exists today. As converts multiply, it is important that they be trained as disciples. Disciples must be challenged with their responsibility of reaching the world with the Gospel.<\/p><p><strong>As nations experience political change<\/strong>, many missionaries are forced to leave countries where they have ministered. If the process of spiritual multiplication is to continue in their absence, they must leave behind training centers similar to that in Ephesus.<\/p><p>You can become an Affiliate\u2026We eagerly welcome new Affiliate partners into the Vision International University Friends of Vision Associates program.

VIMN is a gathering &amp; networking of peers who serve together as an apostolic company. We are responding to the mission given to us by our Lord Jesus at His ascension, seeking to follow the pattern developed in the New Testament.\u00a0 VIMN is convinced that if we return to the pattern of ministry introduced in the Book of Acts, we can anticipate the same results. Ministry teams in the Book of Acts were actively involved in expanding the borders of the Kingdom of God. Key functions of these teams included planting new churches and the replication of team ministry. Ministry teams were the key networking organism of the church and were regularly involved in the \u201ccare of the churches\u201d (2 Corinthians 11:28).<\/p><p><strong>Community<\/strong><\/p><p>VIMF seeks to be sensitive to the needs of the individuals we serve. VIMF was formed in a response to pastor\u2019s and\u00a0minis\u00adter\u2019s need for community, for a place to identify and work with peers. We believe that the innate desire for community is met through covenantal relationships, not by merely joining an organization.<\/p><p><strong>Credentials<\/strong><\/p><p>We believe that VIMN has been commissioned by God to network credentialed individuals to ministry of\u00adfices. VIMN serves church leaders by recognizing, honoring and networking with men and women with like-minded ministry credentials, but does not provide for a form of legal covering, only relational networking for the Kingdom of God.
