World Missions Ministerial Association
"Touching Nations and Evangelizing the World"
THE ASSOCIATION CAUSE
World Missions Ministerial Association (WMMA)
is a global network established under the corporate umbrella of Rapha Outreach International (ROI), Madison,
Alabama USA a ministry founded by and in affiliation with Veronica Johnson Ministries. ROI
is a nonprofit religious organization serving as the Mother Church and Apostolic Base.
We provide spiritual covering, credentials and kingdom relationships to Churches, Ministers,
Ministries, Schools and Networks. We are also progressively moving towards humanitarian efforts and economic development in
the USA and around the world.
THE MISSION
WMMA mission is to further the cause of Christ and develop a means for
that cause to be fulfilled through each member.
THE COMMITMENT
1. To Care for Leaders: Nurturing and Pastoral Care
Pastors and ministers have needs just as every other growing believer in the church does. Those who invest
their lives in caring for others in the local church also need a pastor and the care given by spiritual shepherds. By nurturing, WMMA
is structured to promote healthy relationships and provide spiritual covering. For Pastors, we provide spiritual mentoring,
counsel, encouragement, wisdom, and godly support.
Accountability
Many leaders are crying out for practical ways to be accountable in
their lives and ministries. While there are many beneficial methods for accountability to occur, we believe that this
alliance can provide mutual accountability through covenant relationships.
Restoration
Often leaders are overworked, abused, and overcome by the pressures of
ministry and the wounds of people. Ministry designed to restore leaders to lives of wholeness is a mission of WMMA.
We will provide Bible-based restoration for spiritual leaders who have fallen into sin or immoral behavior with the passion
to see them fully and completely restored.
2. Church Growth
A healthy church will GROW! Therefore,
we are striving to provide churches and their spiritual leadership with every available resource to increase the fivefold
ministry gifts within their congregations and ministries that will promote strength and unity. Biblical courses of study and
other resources through WMMA will be made available to leaders and churches to assess, evaluate, and
advise ministries. We will work with our members to promote "Kingdom Building" churches and ministries.
3. Networking Ministries: Relationships
Ministers and church leaders have the same need for fellowship on a spiritually mature level as do other
believers, but it is often difficult to network on a local level. A network of spiritual leaders is the perfect avenue
for wholesome relationships to be established. WMMA goal is to bring churches and ministries
together in a spirit of fellowship and unity. The vision of WMMA is to bring people together of all
races and Christian cultures through the Network fellowship conferences, crusades and regional meetings to network and share
in cooperative efforts. We believe that the Internet will be a powerful tool of ministry to build relationships and networking.
Through the WMMA website we will provide our associates with ministry resources, interactive forums
and other avenues of ministry of support.
Apostolic Prophetic Network
Fitly joined and committed to the fulfillment of the GREAT
COMMISSION and the GREAT COMMANDMENT through unified efforts involving networking of resources,
ideas, proven avenue of ministry and strategic planning both nationally and internationally within the association empowers
our worldwide apostolic prophetic network of churches, ministries and church workers to "Touch Nations and Evangelize
the World!"
Placement Services
Assisting ministers and leaders to find God-ordained ministry positions
and opportunities within the association will build WMMA and strengthen the body of Christ.
Evangelists Network
Assisting Evangelists with ministry opportunities through covenant relationships
and networking among pastors, churches and ministries.
4. Leadership Development: Seminars
Seminars on topics that help spiritual
leaders to develop and be more effective in ministry will be available. These meetings will serve as excellent resources for
the ministries staff and lay leaders and will result in skills of ministry excellence.
Empowerment Conferences, Crusades and Retreats
Annual conferences, crusades and retreats
will provide opportunities for renewal, skill-enhancements, and bonding between the association. WMMA leaders
and other renowned speakers will provide life-changing ministry.
Internet and Distant Learning Bible School Satellite Training Facilities
It is
our goal to provide sound Biblical instruction for advancement and excellence in ministry. We are committed to "Touching
Nations and Evangelizing the World" by equipping and training men and women called into the Gospel ministry to serve
in EXCELLENCE in their area of ministry, such as Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, Teacher, Evangelist, Missionary, Church Administration,
Church Educator, Church Counselor and Church Worker.
5. Uphold Biblical Standards and Values: Gifts Ministry
The operation of
the fivefold ministry gifts described in Ephesians 4:11 is imperative for spiritual maturity. Apostles, prophets, evangelists,
pastors, and teachers are essential for equipping God's people for the work of ministry.
Apostolic Team Ministry
We believe that Apostolic teams are the right approach to ministry.
We are committed to the success of one another and place a higher value on team accomplishments than on individual accomplishments.
Strategic Intercessory Prayer
WMMA is committed to upholding
the alliance through strategic prayer.
Covenant Relationship Based Ministry
We consider healthy, authentic kingdom
relationships to be indispensable for spiritual leaders. Our network will be based on the foundation of interpersonal
relationships that the Holy Spirit inspires and nurtures. We maintain that an effective organization must emerge from
personal relationships. We will encourage the practical relational designs of mentoring, coaching and discipleship.
Character & Integrity
We recognize servant leadership, integrity, and a godly character
as the standard for all ministry and leadership. We believe that while talents and gifts are useful, they must function from
a foundation of godly character and a desire to live consecrated lives.
Humanitarian Efforts and Economic Development
We endeavor to not only provide spiritual covering, encouragement, counsel, accountability and godly support,
but to also provide humanitarian aid or support (e.g. provision of food, shelter, medical relief, disaster relief) economic
development and training for these services.
Contributions and Donations
We do ask that those who hold credentials to remit a monthly "free will" member support offering
to help cover the costs of administration, missions, resources and member support efforts. If your church or ministry have
taken full Apostolic Covering under WMMA support through tithing and or offerings are expected. We do
ask that those who tithe to the fellowship to submit a minimum of 5% or a monthly support offering. It is both biblical
and of necessity. This does not replace your obligation to support your local church or ministry.
