SNM
is the acronym of Satellite Network Ministry. This is
equally known as the Home Fellowship or Home Cell.
Satellite because it receives information from the main
Church to the homes.
Network because God wants a network of many home churches so
that it will be difficult for your neighbours to get lost. So in every zone,
there are many network of home churches.
SNM is the Heartbeat of God, He loves it. You must love what
God loves.
Everyone is expected to be part of SNM because in Salem
Every member is a minister.
"And they, continuing daily with one accord on the
temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with
gladness and singleness of heart,
Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the
Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved."
Acts 2:46-47(KJV)
The Lord prompted His servant Archbishop Sam Amaga in
November 1988 to open up himself to a spiritual operation of the church that
will "Raise" and "Release" His people for service. So in
the month of November 1988, Archbishop & Bishop Love Sam Amaga inaugurated
the first center of the SNM in a couple's home.
Archbishop Sam Amaga was the pioneer Pastor of the center
for sometime while raising the couples themselves to start teaching since our
commision is to raise men for God. God showed His servant, Archbishop Sam Amaga
how "his own church is not around a man, but He raises a man to raise His
people with a vision."
Principal Reasons for SNM
To strengthen the members and Believers in your
neighbourhood to prevent them from backsliding.
To evangelize your neighbourhood, get them born again, and
establish them in the center and the central church.
To encourage every member to do ministry, according to
scriptures.
"It was he who gave some to be Apostles, some to be
prophets, some to be evangelists, some to be Pastors, some to be teachers, to
prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be
built up"
Ephesians 4:11-12 (NIV)
To provide a close knitted fellowship among members, closer
than it could be in the larger family church. So every SNM Center is a family
unit.
To provide support, welfare, and care to needy members of a
particular zone like visiting a sick member to pray for such, and visiting each
other. Really living as Christian community of loving and sharing at the center
level and church level. This is what kept the revival and love in the early
church.
"And they, continuing daily with one accord on the
temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with
gladness and singleness of heart,
Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the
Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved."
Acts 2:46-47(KJV.
