What Church Leaders Say About N.A.T.I.O.N.Strategy

"NATIONStrategy is right on the cutting edge of the awesome work of God through the mushrooming New Apostolic Reformation movement today. I greatly admire the creative and anointed leadership that Ed Delph is providing for the Body of Christ in may parts of the world."
--Dr. C. Peter Wagner

"God is sovereignly bringing together leaders that will impact the nations. Ed Delph is one of God's choice servants called to help us see the big picture and to mobilize key leaders from around the world to make a difference. I whole-heartedly endorse this vision!"

"What a privilege it was to have Ed Delph minister at our national conference. Many of our ministers have described it as, 'The best conference yet.' I am sure it was a landmark event, with Ed's ministry bringing us to a new understanding of our corporate identity, and the significance of our various roles within it. Personally, it was like putting the final piece of a puzzle in place so that the total picture now makes sense. I am sensing new dimensions of the Spirit at work in my life since Ed prayed for me. We really look forward to having Ed speak in our church here in Wellington."

"The networking of key leaders is essential to the reaching of nations. Ed Delph has been raised up and anointed by God to set such a network in place."

"In September 2001, the Elim Churches of New Zealand held their annual conference in Auckland. Our guest speaker was Ed Delph. As a movement, we have been undergoing major changes in structure to allow our churches more autonomy, along with attempting to embrace with love and unity the ever-widening diversity of our churches. We have been on a difficult journey. The timing of Ed's visit was God ordained. His insight into these very areas was so helpful and encouraging. It was encouraging for our Executive as it confirmed as gave scriptural foundations for what we were attempting to accomplish. It also gave a confident reassurance to our pastors. Many comments of appreciation have come back from pastors of very small to very large churches."
--Luke Brough
East City Elim Church

"God is doing great and wonderful things in the Church today. N.A.T.I.O.N.Strategy is a vision of bringing spiritual fathers and apostles together, as the synergism of "Networking" makes each part greater and it makes the whole greater as, 'every joint supplies'. Ed is hearing what other seasoned leaders are hearing God say: Where are the fathers? Where are the mentors?"
--Dr. Emanuele Cannistraci
Evangel Christian Fellowship
San Jose, California

"N.A.T.I.O.N.Strategy is bearing much fruit here in the UK. We're excited at the way God is bringing Apostolic leaders together, and believe you have been a major catalyst in this."
--Bernard Sanders

"Ed's understanding of the Apostolic heart and core values have been very helpful in building into what God had shown us and confirming our direction. His input has strengthened our resolve in pressing ahead in what God is doing and Ed's understanding has given us greater clarity in that direction. His teaching on the corporate anointing and tribe and nation has been very helpful with many positive comments from other assemblies and from people in our own. We would enjoy having him back for further input to build into this vital area of the Apostolic Reformation. He was very warmly received by our people."
--Wesley Chambers
Living Waters Christian Centre
Christchurch, New Zealand

"Ed Delph has been a key member of the Council of Ecclesiology during our meetings since 1998. Our purpose is to build bridges with the diverse tribes of Evangelical Christianity in the United States. We have been able to identify the key issues which have been misunderstood or have caused unnecessary division. All of us share the belief that by openly discussing these issues, we can sharpen one another and present a more powerful witness. We want unchurched persons to see the various tribes as a force, rather than a farce.
Ed is uniquely gifted and called as a networker for N.A.T.I.O.N.Strategy and the New Apostolic Reformation. He has helped explain and validate the NAR to other strategic branches of Christianity, such as Willow Creek Association and the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals. Peter Wagner selected him for this unique assignment, and all of us have been challenged by Ed, and ministered to most effectively. He is a valued partner in this critical cause of clarity and unity."
