International Presiding Bishop and President

    Continental Presiding Bishop

    National Presiding Bishop

    State or Province Presiding Bishop

    District Coordinator

    Prayer Team Coordinator

    Full Member (Occupies a full or part-time ministry position)

    Associate Member (Born-again believer, but not occupying a leadership role)

Appointment and removal of all levels of Coordinators shall be done by the level directly above it. As an example:

Team Coordinators will be appointed or removed by the District Coordinator, if the State in question has sufficient prayer teams to warrant the creation of Districts. Otherwise, the State Coordinator will be responsible for the task.

District Coordinators will be appointed or removed by the State Coordinator.

State or Province Presiding Bishop will be appointed or removed by the National Presiding Bishop.

National Presiding Bishops will be appointed or removed by the Continental Presiding Bishop.

Continental Presiding Bishops will be appointed or removed by the International Presiding Bishop and President.

Under no circumstances shall the appointment of Coordinators or Bishops at any level be subject to any voting process. The holding of any such position is a matter of divine accountability and, as such, cannot be subject to the machinations involved in voting, popularity contests that arise as a result, and the electing of the most popular individual rather than the most qualified individual as determined by the next administrative level above it. The Global Revival Network shall NOT be a place where individuals hungry for power and influence can come and manipulate those around them in order to achieve their own personal goals, rather than seeking first the Kingdom of God and HIS Righteousness.

In the unlikely event that corruption or misconduct should be found not only in the level being removed but at any higher level of leadership, the International Presiding Bishop reserves the right to unilaterally step into the situation and have any and all administrators removed from office from Continental Presiding Bishop down to Team Coordinator. Corruption and misconduct will NOT be tolerated in GRN for ANY reason.

1. Every new Member will receive a New Member packet with a variety of information in it. Some of the things which the New Member packet will contain include:
   1. 10 tri-fold flyers describing the Global Revival Network and Final Great Awakening Ministries.
   
   
   2. 5 full-page flyers which can be placed at Christian book stores, grocery stores and other public places where other believers could read about the Global Revival Network.
   
   
   3. A hard plastic Membership Card which will contain the following information about the Member:
      1. Their status (Associate Member, Member, Team Coordinator, State Coordinator, etc.)
      2. Their full name (First, Middle Initial, Last)
      3. Their Member Number
      4. A recent photo submitted by them.
      5. The State and Country in which they live.
      6. The expiration date of their current Membership.
   
   
   4. A full Membership Manual outlining all the privileges and responsibilities of being a part of the organization.
   
   
   5. An introductory letter from the National Coordinator’s Office welcoming the individual into the Global Revival Network and providing them with contact information for their Team Coordinator, their District Coordinator (if applicable), their State Coordinator, their Regional Coordinator, their National Coordinator, their Continental Coordinator and their Global Coordinator.
   
   
   6. Each level is responsible for maintaining accurate membership and financial information for the Members associated with it. As with any business, even God’s business, periodic audits may be done on a spot basis to ensure accuracy and integrity in maintaining records.

1. It is generally recommended that Pastors serving as shepherds to existing churches give careful thought about acting as Team Coordinators, State Coordinators, Regional Coordinators or National Coordinators due to the potential for conflicts of interest arising between their Pastorate responsibilities and their Global Revival Network responsibilities.
   1. Nonetheless, if a Pastor earnestly desires to hold such a dual position and can do so while still performing all of his or her functions and responsibilities as a Pastor while also performing faithfully all his or her Coordinator responsibilities, they may do so.
   
   2. This exception is allowed because of such notable historical Intercessor/Pastors as “Father” Nash, a Pastor in upstate New York whose powerful travail and intercession helped birth the mighty revivals which occurred under the ministry of the great Evangelist Charles Finney. It must be noted, however, that “Father” Nash resigned his existing Pastorate in order to devote himself to intercession on behalf of Finney. Such dual positions must be reviewed periodically by the Coordinator at the next level up who is responsible for the individual in question to ensure that both roles are being performed at a level of excellence.


2. It is strongly recommended that all Members of Global Revival Network remember to tithe their income into the work of the Lord. While all giving to the Lord in a good spirit, for the right reasons and with a cheerful heart is returned by percentage by God, Malachi 3:10-11 promises that if we will be faithful with the full 10% that He will pour out an OVERWHELMING, OVERFLOWING blessing so great that we cannot contain it and that He will also rebuke the devourer on our behalf. It is further recommended that all our Members seek out those individuals and Ministries who are less fortunate than they are. Although we have not come out and directly said it in any other place in this manual, it should be obvious to the discerning heart that this ministry, although global in outreach, is nonetheless targeted for the small and struggling individuals and ministers who want to do so much for God but are bound by financial considerations. Frankly, we have a special place in our heart for the “Little Guy”. Proverbs 19:17 says that when you give to the poor, you lend to the Lord, and He will repay you. Isaiah 58:6-13 and Matthew 25:31-46 speak volumes about what God will do for those who are willing to spend themselves on behalf of others who cannot help themselves. Please remember to sow your seed in places where the Heart of the Almighty has already said He wants us to sow. Please do not necessarily sow your seed into large mega-ministries just because they promise endless prosperity if you do. There is nothing wrong with sowing because you want to reap. Every farmer in the world does so. But take time to listen to the Still Small Voice of the Holy Spirit, and sow in the places where He tells you to sow.


3. This document and the guidelines it contains are recognized as being neither complete nor conclusive. As the Global Revival Network grows and changes, encountering new obstacles, opportunities and challenges, so also these guidelines will also have to grow and change to meet changing circumstances. Under no circumstances should the solutions and guidelines of a previous era be considered binding on a new generation and a new set of circumstances, opportunities and obstacles. The Global Revival Network must stay flexible and creative in order to meet the currently unforeseen challenges which it will face in the coming days, months and years as we actively tarry waiting for our soon and coming King to return.
