Our Mission
- To teach people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit
Our Vision
- The world alight for Jesus Christ
Our Mission - To teach people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit is a plan to follow Jesus just as the early disciples did. Jesus was the master disciple maker. The three years of his ministry were spent in the company of 12 disciples. They watched him heal the sick, heard him preach, observed him praying and saw him cast out demons. As the disciples learnt from Jesus they were sent on mission to do the same things they had seen him do, but it was not until the Holy Spirit came down on the disciples at Pentecost that they were ready to fulfil the mandate to take the gospel out to the nations and disciple people to walk as disciples also. A Christian disciple is not merely one who follows the Master, but one who has learnt to die to self and now lives the life of Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Our Vision - The world alight for Jesus Christ, is an extension of the model of discipleship as it is spread from one person to another around the world. The more people stand as true disciples, the more the light of Christ is seen. We are called as followers of Jesus to be a light to the world |
