The Sheepfold programs is to help provide a more excellent care for every member of the House of Solution and secondly to provide the platform for teaching and growing together in Christ as a body and thereby promote the spirit and life style of transformation (Christ´s lifestyle with proper spiritual guidelines), discipleship in the church as we prepare for the second coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Each week people from over 26 Nationalities enjoy praise and worship, teaching and ministry in the House of Solution Services. These celebrations are spiritually uplifting and a boost to faith. However, we cannot do all that is necessary for the growth of the body, numerically and spiritually in these meetings alone.
God´s community is a caring community, but in such meetings it is easy for individuals to feel lost and for personal needs to be ignored. That is why we are launching our new Sheepfold System. It is designed to help you develop your experience of life in the spirit and to find your place in the Christian community in the church.
Just as in the human body, cells are small units of power, giving life to the whole body, in the same way the sheepfolds are essentials to the life and health of the body of Christ here in the House of solution. We therefore want to have hundreds of sheepfolds pulsating life into our church and cities in which we live and as a result bring growth and a healthy growth.
These micro-cosmic gathering of church members could be established anytime. They could be held in the early mornings, afternoon or evenings, any day of the week or at weekends. They could vary in size from a minimum of 2 to 3 to a maximum of 10 to 12.
We have a four-fold Vision:
1. For Spiritual maturity
2. Social Integration & Economic development
3. Outreach (Evangelism, soul winning)
4. Personal Soul care, Follow-ups
We aim at a Four – Fold Effect:
1. To release you into your ministry
2. To give you in-depth discipleship
3. To enable you to be an encouragement to others
4. To support you as you do your work for Christ.
Special Callings / Activities:
i. Bible Study: to aid spiritual growth and maturity. To provide opportunity for discussion and interaction
ii. Socialization: create possibilities to form social action groups to foster a strong relationship between the brethren and for the nature of new believers in the church. Pray and plan social events, also for non-Christian friends.
iii. Evangelism: Go out for soul winning and follow – up. Reaching out to friends by personal invitations etc (Each one Reach one).
iv. Intercession: Praying for the church, the Nation, the City and for one another.
v. Fundraising: Each year, each sheepfold would have to support the church building projects and every operational cost. This can be done through various social activities, sales of items, quiz, concerts etc.
The sheepfold group is made up of members of the church arranged in the order of their various months of birth. Each group is named after one of the names of the 12 tribes of Israel thus resulting in the church having 12 sheepfold groups.
