The International Royal Priesthood Fellowship is far more than just another organization of which you belong. It will bring revival and reformation to you and your congregation. Your membership also will provide a valuable connection with Spirit-filled, anointed men and women around the world. Your connection with them will immeasurably enrich and enhance your ministry – and their association with you will do the same for them. Iron sharpens iron Here’s how the fellowship connects with its members: Corporate Anointing. An extension of Bishop Thompson's anointing, the pastors of fellowship churches and their congregations number in the hundreds of thousands of faith-filled saints. They know how to intercede for brothers and sisters in Christ, no matter what they are believing for! “Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand, and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword” (Leviticus 26:8, ESV). Covering: Fellowship members see Bishop Thompson as their spiritual father. That means they not only submit to his leadership, but also receive the favor and blessing God has bestowed upon him. Under the covering of Bishop Thompson, you’ll be able to accomplish things for the Kingdom of God you would never dream of doing on your own. Peer Associations: The International Royal Priesthood Fellowship gives you the opportunity for . . . fellowship! Your brothers and sisters in the fellowship are like-minded, Holy Ghost-filled men and women. They can easily relate to the challenges you face in ministry – because they’re involved in the same labor. They are readily available for you to confide in, share with and join in agreement with you before Almighty God for your greatest personal and ministry needs. Many fellowship members report making lifelong friends from their contacts in this great association of ministers. Networking: Fellowship members are ready and eager to help each other with the practical needs of ministries. If you’re facing a challenging situation in your community, for example, or an administration or equipment dilemma, someone in the fellowship has been where you are – and they’re eager to share their experiences and their advice with you. Your opportunity to share in your fellowship colleagues’ experiences and accomplishments truly makes this an anointed group of pastors and leaders. Gatherings: The fellowship sponsors meetings throughout the year, from regional gatherings to life-changing conferences such as the Pastors’ and Church Leaders Conference. These events are like family reunions, where testimonies are shared and the Body of Christ is built up. They will equip, empower and propel you to the next level in your life and ministry. National Office/IRPF Staff: The fellowship is blessed with a hard-working staff committed to your success. They have access to the trained, anointed men and women of one of America’s most effective churches, and they can provide prayer, encouragement and practical advice whenever you need it. They’re also your hosts whenever you and your congregation visit Calvary Temple Christian Center– call anytime you need reserved seating for a service or a tour of the church campus. Exclusive Phone Conferences With Bishop Thompson: The fellowship office coordinates telephone conferences with Bishop Thompson, so you can hear firsthand what God has been telling him. It’s an important way you can share in the vision of this ministry directly from its founder – and because you can participate from anywhere, it’s a convenient and effective tool of communication for every fellowship member. I-Conferences With Bishop Thompson: This new channel of communication will allow Bishop Thompson to interact with fellowship members through the advanced technology of video conferencing. It’s another way to tie in directly to the covering and anointing Bishop Thompson affords to fellowship members. You’ll be able to view the webcast from your computer and submit Bishop Thompson questions by e-mail, which will be answered in real time. Ongoing Communications: The fellowship office keeps its members updated throughout the year with regularly scheduled letters, e-mails and other communications, so you can stay in touch with Bishop Thompson and other fellowship members.
