“Pastoral Agreement”

 10 of November 2007 Rostov city, Russia

We acknowledge the fact of our deep respect to each other and admit the authority of God’s sending power and calling. We altogether admit the great need in revival and coming back to God; to seek Him with all our hearts and have right relationships with Him.

We agree to support each other in a fulfillment of the aim, always praying and protecting each other from people’s defamation and abuse. We are going to seek the ways of unity between the churches and confessions together, doing this in humility before God, with respect to other traditions and rules, being careful for not bringing detachment and diseases to the church.

This Agreement has no juridical power, but is fraternal covenant of love and friendship, sealed by the Holy Spirit in prayer and consent.

Below there were a date of signing and speakers’ signatures.

We must admit that this Agreement was not a beginning of a new Association or a new “caste”, otherwise every pastor who is for the unity of the Body of Christ and who has a real desire in his heart to not just sign this Agreement but to follow this Agreement, can add his signature without any difficulty.
