WHAT IS ANOC Int'l?ANOC? What is it? It stands for Apostolic Network of Oikos Cell, a network of apostolic cell groups that meets at home and aim to grow both in spiritual and leadership skills.

Why OIKOS?Oikos is a Greek word that is often translated "household" in the New Testament. In English, "household" means the nuclear family. In Greek, however, its usage was much broader and included family, neighbors, co-workers and friends and those with whom we come into regular contact.
Today it is called many things by the pastors and churches who are seeking to intentionalize this principle. It is your 5-12, your extended family, your fishing pool, your world, and sometimes simply by the Biblical world your OIKOS. |

FOCUS: God to Others-Through Us
AIM: Allow God to reach and minister to others outside this group through us. The WORKS TIME is a time focusing on reaching others with the gospel of Christ. This includes a time of prayer with an expectation that God is going to use us to reach our community for Him. Along with a time of prayer, the group can spend together time creating strategies to reach those who do not know Christ, taking responsibility for one another's friends and family members (e.g., social and special outreach events). This time is essential to the dynamics of the group, making growth and multiplication the normal expectation. |
WOW TIME (30min.)
FOCUS: Serving One Another
AIM: It is the fellowship time where every individual will be enjoying the food being served and Discipleship Levels will be worked with. The WOW TIME is a time that most of the people are enjoying with but this should not the entire focus of the meeting. It is only part of the whole cell group meeting. From light snacks to heavy meals might be served during the WOW TIME but is not compulsory for the host to serve extravagant meal. Other members may also bring food aside from the meal served by the host. Visitors will be entertained during this time and OIKOS CELL SYSTEM (both Leadership and Discipleship) will be introduced to them. In this time Discipleship Level are also given priority so that the members can complete their Discipleship Level goals. |
How to start an Oikos Cell Group?Beginning an Oikos Cell is rather like climbing a ladder; you need to take a series of steps in the right order to get where you want to go. Sometimes you can spend quite a long time on one step, but if you are praying and expect to progress, you will get there in the end.
1. Pray; 2. Gather a team; 3. Make Decisions; 4. Gather the People; 5. Be trained
