Christian Outreach Centre Maryborough

When in Durban, Sth Africa early this year, I spoke at a church ‘Prayer House Ministries’. This was the same church that was given exercise books and pencils etc. from Riverside College. It was their habit to have everyone confess the vision of the church along with other areas. Some of these are worth sharing.

Vision: Our vision is to Glorify our Heavenly Father by building an authentic community of mature believers who impact our world with Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. We are called to equip God’s people for works of service. Our vision is to reach the world with present day truth and discipling of nations.

We are a people of PRAYER

We are a people of PRAISE

We are a people of PURPOSE

We are a people of PASSION

We are a people of POWER

We are a people of PROSPERITY

We are a people of PERSEVERANCE

We are a people who are POSSESSING earth and our POSSESSIONS

The FOUNDATION of ministry is CHARACTER

The NATURE of ministry is SERVICE

The MOTIVE of ministry is LOVE

The MEASURE of ministry is SACRIFICE

The AUTHORITY of ministry is SUBMISSION

The PURPOSE of ministry is the GLORY OF GOD

The TOOLS of ministry are the WORDS OF GOD/ PRAYER

The PRIVILEGE of ministry is GROWTH

The POWER of ministry is the HOLY SPIRIT

The MODEL of ministry is the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

EVERY BELIEVER IS SENT TO THE CHURCH TO ADD VALUE.

These are great statements and can only help the church to grow if we were to make them a part of our daily confession. What do you think?

Have a great day,

Ray and Marie

Thought for the week:

The words we speak are mighty weapons – for good or bad.
