Covenant Connection Application Acknowledgment

I acknowledge that this is a formal application to pursue Covenant Connection with Apostolic World Network (AWN), and I understand that submission does not guarantee acceptance.

I recognize that this covenant relationship is for the spiritual covering, guidance, and accountability of me as a leader—not of my church, ministry, network, or ministers. This is a personal commitment to alignment, not organizational affiliation.

With reverence and humility, I agree to engage in three weeks of focused fasting and prayer before concluding this connection—seeking clarity, consecration, and confirmation from the Lord.

I affirm that all information provided in this application is true to the best of my knowledge, and I give permission for my references to be contacted.

I have read the AWN Mandate and fully align with the Vision and Mission set forth by this apostolic network.

Having prayerfully considered the FAQs and foundational expectations, I now submit this application in faith and obedience, trusting the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Let me know if you’d like a shorter or more casual version as well.

What to Expect in Covenant with AWN

You don’t have to walk this journey alone.
Covenant with Apostolic World Network (AWN) means entering a spiritual relationship marked by alignment, encouragement, and accountability. While you have the Holy Spirit as your ultimate guide and teacher, covenant relationships provide the apostolic covering needed for growth, correction, and maturity in ministry.

Jesus said, “You have many instructors, but not many fathers.” (1 Corinthians 4:15)
An apostolic father doesn’t just teach—they lay down their life for sons and daughters. They cover, confront, correct, and commission. This is not mentorship for convenience—it is relationship by covenant.

 

​

  • A spiritual alignment with global leaders who uphold truth, integrity, and the apostolic mandate.

  • A safe place for accountability, counsel, and restoration.

  • A shared commitment to biblical order, kingdom expansion, and prophetic activation.

  • A long-term relationship—not a transactional partnership.

  • A space for growth, not control. We equip you to lead, not to follow indefinitely.

  • ​

What Covenant is NOT:

  • A replacement for your relationship with the Holy Spirit.

  • A substitute for intimacy with Jesus or personal responsibility in spiritual growth.

  • A hierarchy of control. We walk with you, not over you.

  • A shortcut to promotion or platform.

  • A one-sided demand. We give of ourselves, but expect you to steward the grace on your life well.

  • ​

Managing Expectations

AWN is not a “quick covering” or a title exchange. True covenant takes time, testing, and transformation. We expect humility, consistency, and fruitfulness. There will be moments of correction and growth—but always seasoned with grace.

This is a family—not a system. You may not always feel seen—but you are never forgotten.
You may not always get constant access—but you will always have spiritual advocacy and accountability.

​

Biblical Foundation for Covenant Alignment

“And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”
— Malachi 4:6 (NKJV)

This is the heart of AWN—to restore divine order in the Body of Christ through authentic, life-giving relationships between spiritual fathers and sons, leaders and disciples, voices and visionaries.
