What are the principles associated with Awake International and the Create & Cultivate initiative?

. Above all, love. We believe that a culture of love is the key to lasting effectiveness within local church life and the power behind outreach to your community.

. The life of Jesus. We have much to learn from how Jesus lived His life while on the earth and that way of life is the way of life we strive to both live and teach.

. The voice of God. Hearing the voice of God is essential for our lives and ministry. While abuses and wackiness within the prophetic have destroyed many churches, our belief is that when the heart of the prophetic is understood and implemented it can be life altering for many local bodies.

. Reaching out. People are not meant to be projects for evangelism and evangelism is not meant to be a sales pitch. Reaching the people around us should be a way of life and not a means to an end. Creating a culture where your communities are consistently being affected by the Kingdom of God is easier than some think.

. True discipleship. As the body of Christ, our mandate is not to tell people who to be, but to create an atmosphere where the nature of Christ unlocks dreams and destinies. This creates a body where "every part does its share" and they love it! Helping bring people into maturity is the goal.

. The supernatural. The supernatural can actually be very natural for a local church and doesn't have to cause division and flakiness. The problems arise when the miraculous itself becomes the goal instead of part of the lifestyle.

. Family. The family structure created by God is the lifeblood of the local church, not only in the traditional sense, but also when the entire church feels and acts like a family.

. Leadership. Our goal is to help foster true leaders and a leadership culture based on honor and love. One man and one woman can't do it. It takes people who know their gifts and are positioned in places where those gifts and callings can flourish.

. Worship. Worship is not music, but music can most certainly be worship. Worship is our creative expression of love to God. Our desire is to help cultivate a creative atmosphere where worship takes a whole new meaning.

. Reformation. The foundation of Awake International is reform. We want to always be willing to learn, admit mistakes and grow. This applies both to our personal lives and the lives of churches. We believe that God is breathing new life into the church and that it requires significant change.

. God is in control. While the basis of Create & Cultivate may be considered apostolic in nature, our goal is not to control your church. We are not creating a new hiearchy. Instead, we want to come beside you, not for our gain, but for yours. We want to form an ongoing relationship with you.
