SECTOR NET
What is Sector Net?
"...I must be about my Father's business..." - Jesus, Luke 2:49 NKJVWhether you work in Social Enterprise, Education, Health, Law & Justice, Arts, Media & Leisure, Local & National Government or Commercial Business, you too can be about the Father's business.
Here at Sector Net, we are a network of Christians championing an expression of the Kingdom of God in the various sectors of society/community;
Jolyon Barker, Sector Net team member, said, "What a privilege it is to know Christ in you, in your place of work and in relationship with colleagues and clients. Sector Net is about relational connection, encouragement and support under the banner of 'Together 4 The Black Country'. We've grown out of what was a regular monthly breakfast meeting of business people called Business Net. As we sought God about the future of Business Net, He began to help us see the need to start to take some of the amazing opportunities that exist for everyone of us who know and love Jesus right in the place where God has called us to work in the market place. We began to see the gateways that exist in our society and that we need to ask God to help us occupy. Out of this vision, Sector Net was born."
The key Bible verses for us were Isaiah 26 vs 1-3, all to do with God's heart for His Body within "the city" to be released within that city. "OPEN THE GATES" is a heart-cry to all of us to rise up and be all that God has created us to be as part of His Holy Nation (different), and we are called to open gateways into our city, our culture and our communities.....the seven GATES listed above are the new "ethnos" or tribes that The Father is sending us out and into to stand for His Kingdom and make a difference, make disciples and demonstrate His nature to all that live, work and play in each sector.
What does Sector net aim to do?
Sector Net currently seeks to represent and develop in the seven societal sectors listed above by embracing a group of people who lead, manage, work in or invest in these sectors. The monthly gatherings aim to inspire, support and encourage, whilst providing opportunity for sharing and ministry. We hope to release people into a deeper and more culturally relevant Biblical understanding of what it is to be SENT OUT in 21st Century Britain, and beyond. We believe that every one of us is a MISSIONARY, a MINISTER and a FULL-TIME CHRISTIAN WORKER !!
