“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!” — Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 

One of the greatest temptations in ministry is isolation. The demands are high, the burdens are heavy, and it is often easier to withdraw than to reach out. Yet, Scripture reminds us that we are not meant to go it alone. We were created for community, and in ministry, relationships are the foundation of lasting impact. 

ºÚÁÏÀúÊ· Northeast is more than a network—it’s a family. We walk together, support one another, and labor side by side for the advancement of the gospel. In Philippians 1:3-5, Paul writes, “I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.” Ministry is not just about programs, strategies, or transactions—it’s about partnership. It’s about linking arms with fellow believers who share a common mission: to help people meet, know, and follow Jesus. 

Too often, relationships can become transactional—we seek what we can get rather than what we can give. But Jesus modeled a different way. He invested deeply in people, walking with His disciples, sharing in their struggles, and calling them to something greater than themselves. In John 13:34-35, He commands, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” 

When you are part of something that truly matters, you don’t just receive—you give. You pour into others because you believe in the mission and see its value. ºÚÁÏÀúÊ· Northeast exists to start, strengthen, and send churches and leaders, and that only happens when we all contribute—praying for one another, showing up for each other, and giving of our time, resources, and gifts. 

So, the question is this: Are you willing to invest in relationships, to give of yourself, to be part of something bigger than your individual ministry? Will you commit to walking together, not just for what you can receive, but for what we can accomplish together? 

We are better together. Let’s build the kind of community that reflects the heart of Jesus and transforms the Northeast for His glory.
