Rather than brief or transactional engagement, the Circuit is based on **ongoing, deeper relational connection** . This involves regularly touring and returning to a defined group of churches, developing longterm relationships that allow us to become a trusted and embedded presence within each context. Over time, we seek to become part of the life of the church — contributing to its leadership culture, sharing values, and walking alongside leaders in a meaningful and sustained way. Through the TRIBE Circuit, we o`er extended relational support to church and ministry leaders, providing encouragement, wisdom, and continuity that goes beyond one-o` visits or events. 6 ## **Raising a new Worshipping Generation** We are planning, praying into, and preparing for the development of a worship ministry that will cultivate environments where the presence and glory of God are encountered and released through worship, prayer, creativity, and proclamation. Working with our partners, we intend to host worship gatherings, symposiums, and regional events that will bring together worshippers, intercessors, creatives, and leaders from across the nation. These gatherings will be designed to facilitate powerful moments of worship and intercession, while also equipping and inspiring participants for ongoing ministry and mission. A central focus will be the intentional raising and resourcing of the next generation of worship leaders, prayer leaders, musicians, artists, authors, and creative communicators. Through mentoring, training, and platforming emerging voices, we hope to encourage new expressions of worship and creativity that will serve the Church and engage the wider culture. We are also believing for large-scale gatherings that will fill auditoriums with bands of musicians, artists, and communicators united in purpose — creating space for evangelism, artistic expression, and sustained intercession. We pray that these gatherings will contribute to spiritual renewal and revival, releasing God’s glory into churches, cities, and regions. **Growth in the Tribe student body.** We want to continue to see thelearning platform grow its students body globally, o`ering a version of all the above, to thosewho want to grow via online learning and the unrestricted access and pace that can o`er.Our intention is that growth in the TRIBE Circuit and worship ministry, will funnel some intodeeper connection with our online o`ering.
