Networkers

Being a Networker is all about giving a shout out for our brothers and sisters who are suffering; spreading the word to people we know (in CU, youth group) that we need to pray and take action for the part of the body that is hurting:

‘When one part of the body suffers, we all suffer.’ 1 Corinthians 12:26.

What do Networkers do?

Some Networkers in the past have met up with their mates in coffee shops to speak about the Persecuted Church; others have led prayer meetings with their youth groups; raised money for Open Doors; taken part in SHOCKWAVE; led a session at
their CU in school/college; helped out at Open Doors events; put up a poster and handed out underground magazines to their youth group…

Being a Networker is basically doing your bit for your persecuted family around the world.

Tim A from Gloucester explains why he’s a Networker: “I decided to become a Networker a good few years ago now. I had been at an Open Doors conference and I had heard
Brother Andrew and members of the Persecuted Church speak. It really struck me that though we cannot all go and serve our brothers and sisters who are suffering directly, and though as young people and students we cannot always give a huge
amount financially, one thing we can all do that does really make a difference is pray. By becoming a Networker I was
better equipped to serve the persecuted Church by raising awareness of what they are going through. Being a Networker is a
great way to do your bit to move the ‘free’ Church into action and get people in your area praying for the persecuted.”

You already do more than you think

You’re probably doing more Networker type stuff than you think – but just missing out on the extra bits that we send out… and the coffee.

If you’ve prayed, encouraged someone else to pray, shared about or done a crazy fundraiser for persecuted Christians: then you’re probably already a Networker – just without the exclusive and extremely prestigious title of ‘Networker’ – so c’mon make it official in 2008!
