Stepping Stone Apostolic
International Alliance
Apostle Turner believes that any apostolic oversight and accountability should be strictly biblical, spiritual, relational, and Holy Spirit orchestrated. Our position then is that each local church and ministry has complete autonomy, and thus SSAIA exercises no legal authority over it. That is the responsibility of every church’s governing eldership and legally required board. However, the ministry in affiliation with SSAIA must operate fully within the codes of ethics outlined in the membership packet.
You may affiliate as a 5-fold minister, and then also choose one of the other categories that best describe your current primary area of ministry involvement you desire to affiliate with SSAIA. If you are the senior leader of an independent church, you may both affiliate yourself as a minister, as well as your church.
This may not be possible if the church is still affiliated with a denomination and you are in transition, in which case you would only affiliate as a minister. The same applies to ministries and organizations.
You may affiliate with SSAIA even though you also are still connected with a denomination or other ministry/church organization or fellowship. Your purpose for affiliation with SSAIA must be a desire to receive the revelation, teaching, grace, and oversight of one of its pioneers and leading voices around the world, Apostle Asia Turner.
If you are not called into one of the 5-fold ministry offices but are called to actively influence the business or political sector, you may affiliate with SSAIA as a Marketplace Minister.
If a husband and wife are both in the 5-fold ministry and would both like to affiliate as ministers, they should fill out individual applications and submit them together.
SSAIA AFFILIATION AS A 5-FOLD MINISTER:
This is for proven 5-fold ministers only. Please submit the following:
• Completed application form with recent photo
• 3 ministry references or the recommendation of a current SSAIA member in good standing.
• Then you may also choose one of the following secondary affiliations:
#1: SSAIA CHURCH AFFILIATION:
This category is for senior leaders of independent churches. (May not be appropriate if the church is still affiliated with a denomination.)
#2:. SSAIA TRANS-LOCAL MINISTRY AFFILIATION:
This category is primarily for trans-local traveling ministries.
#3: SSAIA KINGDOM ORGANIZATION AFFILIATION:
This category is to include those that would be involved in humanitarian/relief type operations, medical missions, international apostolic missions organizations, etc.
#4: SSAIA APOSTOLIC/PROPHETIC TRAINING CENTERS AND BIBLE SCHOOLS:
This category is for Training Centers and Bible Schools who desire to transition to a stronger apostolic, prophetic and deliverance emphasis along with a more revelatory present truth curriculum and greater emphasis also on impartation through affiliation with SSAIA.
#5: SSAIA APOSTOLIC/PROPHETIC NETWORK AFFILIATION:
This category is for apostolic or prophetic networks that desire affiliation. The affiliating network does not lose its corporate identity or name, and its overseer and leadership maintain complete autonomy.
The churches, ministries and ministers in the affiliating network only then relate to SSAIA in a secondary limited capacity, whereas the network’s overseer and headquarters church would relate to Apostle Turner and SSAIA in a more primary capacity. The level of the network’s relationship to SSAIA then is determined by the network’s overseer and leadership. If any churches or ministers in the affiliate network decide they would prefer to relate directly to SSAIA, then the network’s overseer should give his blessings. This helps to maintain healthy apostolic relationships.
We do request that those leaders in the affiliated network in the secondary relationship with SSAIA who have the ability to receive email be given access to receive our monthly E-Newsletters. Also, with our website, stay updated through articles and reports with fresh revelation and what we are doing around the world, along with the dates of our conferences.
SSAIA AFFILIATION AS A MARKET-PLACE MINISTER:
This category is for kingdom business leaders/marketplace ministers who desire to impact their sphere of influence in the business world ministering with apostolic and prophetic revelation and anointing that God is releasing in this hour.
SSAIA ORDINATON:
If you desire to apply as a candidate for 5-fold ministry ordination from Apostle Asia Turner and the SSAIA Network, you must meet the qualifications below, and then submit a request for review. Ordination is not a requirement for SSAIA affiliation, since many ministers have either been licensed or ordained through other churches, organizations or denominations. But there are some who may feel that because their previous ministerial licensing or ordination service did not involve the presbytery of apostles and prophets to impart and prophesy into their lives, they would desire to receive a fresh commissioning and ordination.
This is only for proven full-time ministers who have the fruit (works) of the 5-fold office they are called to and requesting ordination for. The candidate for ordination will be of good character meeting the requirements of 1 Timothy 3. To be considered for ordination, you must submit an SSAIA application including the 3 references or recommendation of an SSAIA member in good standing, and on a separate paper give us a summary concerning your calling and ministry, and why you desire SSAIA ordination.
Furthermore, to be considered for ordination, it is imperative that we get to know you and your ministry, as Scripture clearly states that we should know them that labor among us, and to lay hands on no man suddenly. For this reason we want to encourage you to participate in a yearly SSAIA event where you can become acquainted and build relationship with some key SSAIA leaders. We would like to encourage you to reach out and develop relationship with any SSAIA leaders in your region that they might also provide a recommendation for ordination. We ask that you consider bringing in an SSAIA Network or Crusaders Church apostle or prophet for some meetings in your church to evaluate your ministry and provide wise counsel and apostolic strategies to help you transition and or build for the future. You may contact Apostle Asia Turner, SSAIA @ (725) 502-9630
