What does it mean to be a Partner?

HNI Offers 2 Types of Partnership

Partner Benefits

HarvestNet™ International is a relational network, but it is about much more than enjoying relationships with one another.  We enter into relationship unto a common vision: to work together to bring in the harvest.  HarvestNet International provides a way for partners to connect together to share resources, encourage, equip, protect, and strengthen one another so that each one’s effectiveness in advancing the Kingdom is enhanced and expanded.  HNI partners enter into relationship not for what they can receive, but to serve and become generous toward God.  Partnership in HarvestNet International requires a commitment from each partner to sow resources into each other and into our cooperative work as partners. As we join together in obedience to the Holy Spirit, the Kingdom of God advances.

Organizational

An organizational partnership is for churches, businesses, and ministries who are committed to relating to HNI as an entire community.  When an organization joins HarvestNet International, it represents a commitment of its leaders and all its members (employees and/or congregational members) to the other HNI partners.

Church and Ministry Partnership: We believe churches and parachurch ministries should be self-governed, but it is natural for healthy churches and ministries to want to be linked to others around a shared vision.  We are committed to the “one Church” in each region and encourage each HarvestNet International church or ministry to fully participate in what God is doing in their region.  Through HNI partners around the world, we can impact nations in strategic ways with wise use of resources.  When a local church or ministry joins HarvestNet International, their leadership (pastors, elders, board members, executive team, etc.) commits to relationship with other HNI leaders, investing personally in the vision of HarvestNet International, and involving their entire congregation or ministry staff in HarvestNet International for the purpose of mobilizing, empowering, and equipping the body of Christ to advance the Kingdom locally and globally.

Marketplace Partnership: We believe that the marketplace is one of the most significant places of Kingdom advancement.  Marketplace and business leaders (and their businesses) partner with HarvestNet International to be equipped and strengthened as they provide a manifestation of the Kingdom in the marketplaces of the world.  They provide significant leadership to strategic partnerships that transform communities, regions, and entire nations.  When a marketplace leader joins HarvestNet International, they commit to relationship with other HNI leaders and investing personally in the vision of HarvestNet International for the purpose of mobilizing, empowering, and equipping the body of Christ to advance the Kingdom locally and globally.

Individual

An individual (associate) partnership is for individuals who desire to connect with HarvestNet International, but their church, ministry, or marketplace business is NOT an organizational partner.  These individuals should have accountability through their local church or an established oversight team. 

  1. Spiritual and relational accountability through HNI partners and leaders throughout HarvestNet International. These relationships create an atmosphere in which spiritual, relational, and personal missions are fulfilled.  HNI leaders are available to assist partners with their personal growth and development.

  2. Opportunities to receive Ephesians 4 ministries, equipping, leadership development, organizational consulting, and other expertise as needed.

  3. Access to resources such as conferences, recordings of seminars, newsletters, etc.

  4. Access to coaching and assistance for developing leadership teams, church planting, leading change and transition, etc.

  5. Opportunities to utilize one’s gifts, talents, and support services with other partners.

  6. Opportunities for personal ministry and healing prayer.

  7. Opportunities for training through conferences and events.

  8. The opportunity for licensure or ordination.  Please inquire with the HNI office.

Partner Commitments

  7. To establish and cultivate healthy relationships with other churches and ministries in the local region, and to partner with them in the harvest.

  8. To maintain an accountability relationship with an overseer within HarvestNet International and welcome accountability for ministry and life.

  9. To model servant leadership that is full of integrity in all areas of life.

  10. To adhere to biblical moral standards and standards of sound doctrine.

Financial Commitment

The Bible says a surprisingly great deal about money and possessions.  Our attitude toward finances and our use of the resources God has given us reveal deeper heart issues that are of the most importance.  This is why HNI partners must steward in a manner that reflects biblical truths and practices of integrity and accountability all that God has entrusted to them.

Understanding that partners represent many different types of economies and financial means, HNI does not charge a membership fee or require a particular amount in donations from partners each year.  Adhering to the biblical principle of tithing and encouraging one another to be diligent in the giving of tithes both personally and as a ministry or business, HNI suggests and encourages US partners to give a tithe of 2-3% of their operating budget to HarvestNet International, understanding that some can give more to make up for those who cannot afford it.  We believe no one should lose the benefit of partnership simply because he/she cannot financially afford it!
