[DESCRIPTIVE GUIDE OF
COVERAGE]
This document contains a description of the vision of our ministry, the guidelines and conditions on which we
offer spiritual covering to pastors and churches. A document should be read and understood in the spirit it was
written: "spiritual leadership".
Rhua Ministries provides coverage for churches, ministries or ministers that do not have coverage or for
personal reasons wish to change spiritual covering because of the changes God is doing in your life or ministry,
or where appropriate, those ministers and churches still under an organization but do not have the spiritual
care, continuing them with their names, but receiving from us the blessing of a spiritual care without interfering
with organizational issues.
BIBLICAL EXAMPLE.
The best example we can get today and that we can all learn is what gives us the Bible itself. In the Bible and
also in the history of the early church find endless examples of how the government should give the church in
general.
First, believers are grouped in different cities and towns, these groups were called Churches (local), all of these
churches scattered throughout the world was the Church or Body of Christ. Generally, each local church had a
self-sufficient local government (autonomy) this government consisted of a pastor or group of pastors, leaders
or elders called the Presbytery, which made all decisions in this local church, the presbytery turn exceptions
usually had the authority of a representative of the apostolic ministry which communicated or transmitted the
recommendations or lessons sent by the apostolic covering that keeps the local church. (As the example of the
apostolic ministry of Paul and his colleagues Tito, Timothy, Silas, etc.)
This coverage usually consisted of an apostle as the spiritual authority, one or more prophets and / or apostles,
in the case of the ministry of the apostle Paul. He served as director of his ministry but had a good group of
collaborators, evangelists and pastors, like Timothy, as Judas and Silas, who were also prophets, who said much
to encourage and strengthen them. (Hech.15: 32), as Barnabas and many others that are mentioned in his
letters: deacons, evangelists, teachers, prophets, etc..
The apostolic ministry functions were apart from establishing new churches and oversee established by them,
provide spiritual covering, teaching, exhorting, encouraging, counseling and ministering to local churches, their
pastors and leaders and the people who compose it.
It should be noted that despite being several apostles, from the 11 that initially walked with Jesus, to others that
were raised then as Paul, Barnabas, Apollos, and many more mentioned in the Scriptures, each of them had well
defined fields of action or ministerial job , as the case of Peter who was in charge of churches in Jerusalem and
surroundings as well as supervising the Churches formed exclusively by Jews around Jerusalem, on the other
hand, the apostle Paul was sent to the Gentiles, in specific to the churches mentioned in his letters, Galatians,
Ephesians, etc.. . The Apostle John on the other hand established and provided coverage to most of the
churches of Asia (Smyrna, Laodicea, etc.) mentioned in Revelation, and so many more of them were working
some in Africa, some in the top of Europe, etc.
HOW IS THE COVERAGE?
The way it works is simple and straightforward as shown by the Scriptures, as the ministry that Paul excercised
in churches after that they began receiving this spiritual coverage. These local churches were formed by a group
of believers, despite having a local government, these churches were formed from the dispersion that occurred
in Jerusalem and the explosive evangelism that these days, believers scattered throughout the world, were
preaching and establishing groups of believers that culminated in the formation of a new church, but have not a
coverage, then contacted with any of the apostles to received their coverage and ministry, as the case of Paul
who traveled for many of the cities in which groups of believers had not coverage, they received their ministry
which gave them cover and spiritual fatherhood and ministration.
The main function of our ministry is to minister to leaders and local churches, particularly with the anointing of
their ministries, providing strategies and bases for a congregational with vision, parenting, and spiritual care to
bring vision and revelation about God's purposes for that local church, also use the gifts to give or activate gifts
and ministries as well as ordering new ministers.
In these case the spiritual leadership was always ready to offer support, comfort, and ministration to the leaders
of these churches. Taking care of your spiritual life, praying and crying for them, encouraging and comforting,
sharing God's will.
Unlike the misunderstood concept of denominational coverage or religious organizations, our coverage rather
than focusing on the legal or government of the church or in the disciplinary and hierarchical, it focuses on the
spiritual character of the church giving priority to the spiritual needs of the leaders and their members, ensuring
the health and well-being and spiritual closeness and brotherhood to support leaders or pastors of these
churches.
Obviously it is understandable that the government's need, order, organization, and other aspects lead a
congregation to be successful and strong. But our main emphasis is on the cover and spiritual care, which many
ministries and organizations have been neglected completely abandoned their pastors or leaders to which
"provide coverage", conforming only to claim a church, though his "museum ministerial trophies "in exchange
for offering a" name "religious or legal representative, ignoring that needs of churches and their leaders are
greater than this, such as need for care, personal care, personal and congregational ministry and healing, cooling
, disclosure and other works that God wants to make in their people.
• TYPE OF COVERAGE PROVIDED BY MINISTRIES RHUA
The type of coverage we offer to churches upon request, and we plant ourselves, is the same as explained
above, following the biblical and historical model of the early Church.
A coverage model unknown by many and ignored by others, but the only useful to bring the church to the
original model. Coverage with a strong biblical foundation in the teachings of Jesus about spiritual leadership,
recorded in Matthew 20:20-28 and the model of the Apostle Paul. A model which excludes worldly and
secular principles of hierarchical government, which only seek to build a name or what I call "build your own
Babel."
Our model is based more on the spiritual development of the ministries and less on administrative matters or
materials, taking them to a deeper relationship with God who is the supplier and owner of all things, so this
put their trust in the Lord and not in the organization. We teach that every local church should be responsible
for the support of their pastor and their facilities. In this sense every pastor, is a laborer of the Lord and the
church, not of a denomination.
Rhua Ministries know and understand that we as spiritual leaders to meet social needs like education and
health. We will invest in theological education and facilities for the church in general.
We are fully convinced of God's love and power of the Word, so our motto is:
Something supernatural happens to a ministry under a spiritual covering.
We currently have three coverage options depending on the needs of each ministry:
Personal Coverage: This coverage is for those ministers who already have a organizational coverage but do not
have a personal care or spiritual fatherhood. It covers itinerant ministries as evangelists, speakers, pastors and
parachurch ministries personal capacity.
Personal and Ministerial coverage: This coverage is for those departments that still do not have coverage or
ministerial personnel, but to apply extra-congregational ministries as itinerant evangelists, music groups,
Christian radio, etc.. or ministries outside of congregations.
Personal Coverage, Ministerial and Congregational: This type of coverage is for pastors and churches that do not
have any spiritual coverage and wish to receive both a personal and ministerial care and extend this coverage to
your congregation. Flowing in a new anointing and revelation in their lives, their ministries and their
congregations.
We believe that God has and continues to restore the government in his church and that there is still much to
restore. In Rhua Ministries we care to be always in search of what God wants done with his people and in what
areas is the Holy Spirit emphasizing a restore or move in his Church.
We believe the church is a glorious without spot or wrinkle, and do not need to be ashamed, our greatest desire
is to contribute to the restoration of the existing church so that we are the glorious church that comes to seek
and to conquer the land that has given us.
Part of this we do by providing spiritual covering and imparting the vision not only to churches founded but
those that have this same desire and those ministries that seek the same goal of working to make this glorious
vision is fulfilled.
In this hedging relationship Rhua Ministries is not involved in the internal governance of the local church, order
of worship and other aspects that make this church a special church, particularly independent (autonomy).
Focusing exclusively to provide support and spiritual ministry, as well as coverage of spiritual authority in regard
to spiritual warfare, counseling, spiritual comfort, restoration, healing, support, friendship and fraternity leaders
and pastors, prophetic revelation and ministration, and all kinds of spiritual work that contributes to growth,
health and welfare of the church, without interfering in the internal government of the same. We do not believe
in the imposition of a truth or thought but in the acceptance based on mutual respect to the word of God.
The spiritual covering covers everything described above in the description of the biblical position.
This type of coverage is mainly applied for by those ministries that do not have this type of ministry and spiritual
support, although belonging to any denomination.
TOTAL COVERAGE. (Including the spiritual covering)
This level of coverage includes all of the above in addition to including spiritual covering organizational coverage,
providing prophetic vision and apostolic foundation. In matters of public support to other ministries including
organizational coverage, providing strategic support, providing vision and apostolic government, providing
spiritual authority to those who wish to be under authority obeying God's command and in turn receive spiritual
fatherhood of Apostolic-prophetic ministry, the level of closeness is much higher and the responsibility of both
parties, obviously always ensuring that the local church does not lose its autonomy.
Despite being a full coverage, never try to impose our decisions, attitudes or personal ideas to any church or
minister, as much we respect freedom of choice and decision. Confining only to provide spiritual paternity,
authority and support.
If necessary correction for a moral or ethical mess Rhua Ministries will always in a spirit of love and humility, as
would a loving father and whenever requested, and in case of restoration for sins that affect the Church, will in
the spirit of love, restoration and understanding shows us our Heavenly Father to meet us. Always ensure the
privacy of the minister and leaving the final decision to the pastor or ministry in charge.
This type of coverage typically helps provide the churches that we founded, but there are independent churches
or ministries that want to be part of a spiritual family united with an international vision, purpose and leadership
established, ministerial credentials, without losing its identity and local insight.
DECISION
When a church or pastor asked our coverage, we will provide coverage as long as the Bible is the supreme
authority in doctrine and are part of the Universal Body of Christ. Also if it is an independent church, we
encourage you to join this network of Christian churches will always be respected until it comes out his doctrine
of biblical parameters, their order of worship, its name and its governance, with the advantage to have an
identity and representation throughout the world and the brotherhood of several churches around the country
and world, spiritual and ministerial assistance when requested. The coverage will always be the degree and level
of closeness, that the church or pastor requested that decide, never imposing anything itself, but rather, to
assist and support as required.
If you have a group home, or meet with a group of brothers and have no pastor or spiritual covering, we're here
to help you start a new church in the city, providing counseling, coverage and ministerial support.
Or if you have a pastoral calling and need coverage or want to start a church we can help.
