The Steward Ministry is at the heart of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, and it is made up CCRN members who are supportive, welcoming, trustful, reliable, friendly, enthusiastic about service and sensitive to the needs of others. They are individuals who deploy God’s gifts (their time, talent, treasure, bodies, friendships, natural resources, and beauty) to the Service of God. It is pertinent to know that a true call to a life of commitment and service can only come to an individual through the Sacrament of Baptism and Confirmation, for the Spirit empowers us to like Jesus who came not to be served but to serve. Stewards are called to imitate Jesus’ life and His love.
At Prayer Group level, the members of this ministry caters for the physical needs of members, arrange venue for fellowship, contact absent members, welcome new members, and look after the wellbeing of all members. At the diocesan, archdiocesan, provincial or national level, they fix and arrange venue for crusades, conferences, camping, workshops or any program. They also ensure the security of the venue used for our Charismatic events. The role of the Steward Ministry enables our community to be filled with grace, love, and unity.
