Our vision
statement calls us to invite all
of God's people to join in our
alliance. In addition to our
vision statement, NE Alliance
has a
statement of faith.
We agree that
it pleases the Lord for us to
invite all Christians to join us
(Ps 133, Jn 13:34-35, Jn 17:23,
Eph 4:2-3). At the same time, we
realize that not all will come.
We agree our focus is to please
the Lord. In many cases the
hindrances are more a matter of
style or language, and we intend
to be sensitive to one another
as the Lord leads without
"quenching the Spirit".
Goals for
2009
NE Alliance
will continue to establish a
six-state prayer network,
involving an alliance of
leaders, churches, and
ministries. Prayer meetings, NE
Alliance events and united
action are the outgrowth of this
goal.
State
Networks
Each state
commits to their own plans to
build a network. In 2008 NE
Alliance provided resources to
establish state web sites. Other
help may be considered, such as
offering support for state
coordinators/administrators.
NE Alliance
Meetings
For the
purpose of maintaining momentum
without becoming burdensome, a
combination of meetings were
proposed at our core group
conference call:
Four
mandatory quarterly NE Alliance
Steering Committee meetings in
central locations. All agreed
that we should alternate the
steering committee meetings on
Wednesdays and Saturdays when
representatives are most
available.
-
Four optional
quarterly state meetings with
state leaders and intercessors.
-
Fifth Friday
grassroots meetings in regions
and local areas
-
Fall New
England-wide event
We agreed
that our annual 2009 event
should be held during the
Wisdom
Way fall 10 days of prayer
tentatively on September 26.
