Foundations of the Stirring Ministry
The following are core values or key emphases Donna and I carry in our lives and ministry:
The Presence of God, Kingdom Family, Equipping and Training, Activation and Impartation.
A resting Place for His Presence - a foundation of the Stirring
The greatest commandment is still the greatest commandment. (Mark 12:29-31) that we would love the Lord with all our everything!
For many years, something was stirred in my heart regarding releasing a prophetic sound in my City… in 2015, a small group of friends gathered regularly in a front room to worship together, to flow prophetically and to grow in expressing the “Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs” that the Apostle Paul exhorts us to do in our gatherings. (Colossians 3:16) .
Regular worship nights followed, with a focus on relational connection - family, connection, and encounter became one of our foundations. Right at the heart of our vision is to be a “resting place“ for the Presence of God. … in our home, our street and our City.
Towards the end of that year, Donna and I felt a strong pull to begin something new in and following a confirming prophetic word from a trusted apostolic leader, we laid down our local pastoral leadership to pursue the obvious call of God on our lives. So, at the beginning of 2016, we established The STIRRING, a ministry that was a vehicle to send us to the nations and to have a voice in our region and nation.
Kingdom Family
We desire to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33) .
We place high value on relationships and kingdom family, rather than just focusing on structure and organisation.
We love to do life together with people, and our heart is to intentionally build lasting relationships. In doing so, we are actively supporting leaders of ministries and churches, nationally and internationally, as well as families and close friends.
Training and Equipping
We are also a training and equipping ministry.
At conferences and churches, training events and special schools, one-off meetings and small groups, we love to pour out our hearts in ‘equipping the saints for the work of ministry’ (Ephesians 4:12).
We love to equip in a number of key areas, including: Worship, the Prophetic, Kingdom Identity, Healing, Prayer, and Ministry Team Training.
We regularly speak at international events and conferences by invitation.
If you are interested in having us speak or minister at your event, church or conference, please get in touch with us.
Activation & Impartation
One of the thrills of travelling to the nations is witnessing the body of Christ re-awakening or coming alive to aspects of supernatural Christianity previously unexplored or lying dormant.
Scripture instructs us to pursue a life of love like our lives depend on it and to eagerly desire the gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy. (Paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 14)
Hearing the voice of Father God and releasing his life-giving words of encouragement are vital in any prophetic community or church family. As we teach and equip, we also do creative exercises and activations to release people into a fuller understanding of who they are, whose they are and what they are here on this planet for.
We believe in Impartation – the activation of the gifts of the Spirit that can come through the laying on of hands. (2 Timothy 1:6-7, Romans 1:11, Numbers 11:16-17)
Activation and impartation are integral parts of our ministry to the body of Christ, encouraging each of us into a naturally supernatural lifestyle.
Our Vision
To gather God’s family in pursuit of His presence, to activate and release spiritual gifts and to grow people in their identity as sons and daughters of a loving heavenly Dad.
To follow Jesus, become like Jesus and do the things Jesus did and even greater!
To train and equip the saints for the work of ministry (Ephesians 4:12)
To stir up one another for love and good works (Hebrews 10:25)
Our Values
We value and honour the Presence of God, the gifts of the Spirit and intimacy with God.
We also place high value on relationship, encouraging connection and community.
We are kingdom focused with a huge emphasis on family rather than organisation and structure. We like to “do life” with people.
