Church Oversight

After receiving some Caleb Consultations, a growing number of church pastors and
leaders have asked us to provide spiritual oversight for them and their church. This has
been especially so with churches that are not affiliated to a denomination and who are
independent. Essentially, such oversight grows out of a deepening relationship that has
formed over time, or from the recommendation of others who have received it.

While it is formally acknowledged in front of the church, more often than not, oversight happens on an informal basis over scheduled monthly coffee chats with either the point leader and/or the leadership team. Victories, concerns and needs are shared and encouragement given. Often an attentive listening ear, interspersed with insightful questions, brings about resolution to any problems and a way forward emerges in the midst of the conversations. From time to time we are invited to bring what the Lord has laid on our hearts prophetically for the church on a Sunday morning. On other occasions, we may get involved in helping to resolve church issues if that was asked for.

Our heart is never to usurp, manipulate or coerce a leader to do anything. Rather, we endeavour to draw alongside as a supportive companion or spiritual father – ever realizing that we are there only by invitation and not by right.

As a ministry, we believe in the need for apostolic ministry. Accordingly, a number of our
team members have a definite apostolic anointing. In light of this, some of the pastors/leaders we work with who do not have external covering, consider this ministry to be their apostolic oversight.
