Our Vision
We see people whose lives demonstrate a passion for Christ, who are rooted in the Scriptures and the promises of God. They are prayerfully dependent on Christ.
They draw others to Jesus through his growing presence in their lives. Their heart for God and his people compel them to leave the comforts of their own culture, taking the gospel into every segment of society.
There is a great sense of community about them even though they are diverse in temperament and gifting. Jesus is their first love and they talk about him and want others to meet him. They embrace the values of God’s kingdom and journey under his sovereign rule, living relevant and authentic lives wherever he has put them.
Unity is vigorously maintained and gives strength to their fellowship and community. They recognize the reality of suffering and humbly cling to God through difficult times, demonstrating a growing dependency on him.
By affirming discipleship in the realm of daily life, they seek to support each other in their vulnerability and personal weakness. It’s often this commitment to journey with one another that draws others to travel with them. They release the naivety that they will always get along with each other and learn to interact in ways that do not bring disunity.
Mission values are intrinsic to the life of this community. Alongside impacting their own country, they want to see the gospel bear fruit in every nation. They persevere as workers facing a seemingly impossible task. Their mission is greatly enhanced by partnering with others. Existing ministries are flourishing, providing labourers for the harvest fields of the world, both inside and outside their movement.
Within this broad vision the focus is to invest deeply in a few. With help from others, they, in turn, invest in faithful and able men and women so that generations of labourers are multiplied. This unobtrusive work is the seedbed for developing leaders who live authentic lives of love and grace.
These labourers know, apply and effectively teach God’s word. The Holy Spirit guides and empowers them. Their lives are integrated in Christ and they display sacrifice, weakness, brokenness, reality and genuineness. Equipped to serve, living similar experiences differently because of Christ within them, they make a permanent difference wherever God has placed them.
