Apostolic Research Laboratory

is presently a concept under prayerful consideration here. Perhaps you will find this to be your means to do the will of God in your ministry.

When God wanted to impact the course of course of history buy faith, He moved a man of faith, Abram, from one of the richest areas of know civilization. Abram came a rich man from UR, and was transformed by God's grace through his faith in to the fountain of blessings for the barbaric and sin-torn world. He brought the faith vessel where it could be used for righteousness under God's guidance.

When the king of Syria wanted to destroy the power of the 10 Northern Tribes (Samaria), he imported people who had no regard for the God of Israel, or his precepts into the area. Many adherants to YAWEH-istic monotheism were forcibly resettled in other areas, but having established patterns of compromise, their influence was completely unfelt in those remote areas. Hence, powers of darkness made progress. They brought the corruption which served to destroy the improperly maintained heritage permanently.

When God determined to bring salvation to earth, it was by "missionary journey: as the "man from heaven" appeared. In fact, God was manifest in the flesh, it would appear to us, a great distance from his origins in Eternal Glory. Jesus brought the offering needed to the area in need of transformation!

When God determined that the Church should reach into all the world with the saving message of Jesus' name and the giftr of the Holy Ghost (Matt 16:15-16), a number of such ventures occured. Notably,

Philip WENT to Samaria, exporting the revival atmosphere of Jerusalem, and the power which he had experienced to the remote cousins of the Jews!
Peter WENT with the rich treasure of Apostolic teaching and preaching to the Gentile household of Cornelius!
Paul WENT into Asia, and beyond... and was followed by a people who were sent forth from Jerusalem by force to evangelize the remaining world, who felt the impact of the same calling!

Apostolic Reseach Laboratory is the concept of giving Christian Young people an oportunity to labor in the harvest in a nearby, ideal environment. Those who are equally yoked together in a Bible School environment come from the fire-filled classes on evangelism and the experience of putting their understanding and burden to the test in Home Missions churches near to their school. using an "Apostolic Research Laboratory", students can spend summers laboring together in churches nearby to one another.

In the Connecticut Lab, there are 18 Apostolic churches ministering to within an area no further than 2 1/2 hours between the most distant points. We are exploring a means to provide opportunities for intensive inter-session missions experience, and the occasion to forumlate lasting relationships and a shared vision for the mission to Connecticut.
