OUR IDENTITY, VISION, MISSION & PRACTICE
“I am a friend to all who fear YOU, to all who follow your precepts” [Psalm 119:63]
“You are my friends if you do what I command” [John 15:14-15]

INTRODUCTION: WHO WE ARE
We are a covenant body of followers of YAHUSHUA [JESUS CHRIST] who have chosen to “follow the Lamb whithersoever HE goeth” [Revelation 14:4]. We are separated unto GOD for worship in spirit and truth [John 4:23-24], away from confusion and compromise [Revelation 18:4; 2 Corinthians 6:17].

We are not a social club. We are a GOSPEL MISSION — a people redeemed by blood [1 Peter 1:18-19], sealed by the HOLY SPIRIT [Ephesians 1:13], taught by the Word [Colossians 3:16], and sent to the nations [Mark 16:15].

JESUS CHRIST is our LORD and Master [Philippians 2:11]. The HOLY SPIRIT [RUACH HA KODESH] is our Teacher and Guide [John 14:26; Romans 8:14]. The Holy Scriptures are our plumb line [2 Timothy 3:16-17].

PART I: OUR THEME, PHILOSOPHY & VISION

1. OUR THEME
   Our unifying, driving center is the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, revealed through JESUS CHRIST [John 1:18], and made real in us by the HOLY SPIRIT [Ephesians 2:18]. Everything we do must magnify HIM [1 Corinthians 10:31].
2. OUR PHILOSOPHY
   “Write down the vision and make it clear that whoever reads it can run and tell others” [Habakkuk 2:2].
   Clarity produces obedience. Obedience produces fruit [John 15:5].
3. OUR VISION: FOUR PILLARS
   Reaching people. Providing support. Changing lives. Advancing the Kingdom [Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15].

A. Reaching People [2 Corinthians 5:14]
We are called to reach every tribe, tongue, and generation [Revelation 7:9] with the love of JESUS CHRIST. This happens in 3 directions:

1. Reaching UP: Wholesome worship and prayer without ceasing [1 Thessalonians 5:17; John 4:23].
2. Reaching OUT: Evangelism and discipleship to every community [Mark 16:15; Matthew 28:19-20].
3. Reaching IN: Bible teaching, mentoring, and family discipleship [Deuteronomy 6:6-7; 2 Timothy 2:2].

Result: Strong Families, Godly Communities, Righteous Nations, and a growing Church [Proverbs 14:34].

B. Providing Support [James 1:27]
We bear one another’s burdens [Galatians 6:2]. Our mandate is humanitarian: the sick, orphans, widows, homeless, castaways [Matthew 25:35-40]. We provide welfare, vocational training, and skill acquisition [Proverbs 22:6] free of charge and without discrimination [Galatians 3:28], to reduce poverty and social vices [Proverbs 19:17].

C. Changing Lives [John 17:3]
We exist to see believers grow in intimacy with GOD [Psalm 27:4], mature in JESUS CHRIST [Ephesians 4:13], and live evangelism as a lifestyle [Acts 1:8]. Transformation is the goal [Romans 12:2].

D. Advancing the Kingdom [Matthew 6:33]
We are a faith-filled Ministry leading people into their GOD-given destiny [Jeremiah 29:11]. We are a life-changing, multisite Ministry where all backgrounds and ages can choose, be united in, and make JESUS CHRIST known [Acts 1:8].

PART II: OUR MISSION & CORE FOCUSES

OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Our four-fold ethos, by which we measure all we do:

1. WORD: Strict adherence to the Holy Scriptures [Psalm 119:105] to advance the Kingdom worldwide [Acts 20:27].
2. WORSHIP: Standing together in the love and peace of JESUS CHRIST [1 John 3:18] for transformation, dignity, empowerment, and maximizing GOD-given potentials [Ephesians 4:16].
3. WITNESS: Proclaiming GOD’s Word, demonstrating GOD’s power, and empowering GOD’s people [Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:4-5].
4. WORKS: Equipping believers for ministry through the five-fold: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers [Ephesians 4:11-12].

PART III: OUR AIMS, OBJECTIVES & STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

A. Aims/Purpose [Romans 1:16]

We are a Bible-based, missionary outreach. Our chief aim: to become a multisite Ministry worldwide advancing the Kingdom by serving GOD in love [Galatians 5:13].

B. Five Strategic Priorities by GOD’s Grace:

1. The Great Commission [Matthew 28:19-20]
   To proclaim the Gospel and make disciples of all nations [Mark 16:15], continuing JESUS CHRIST’s earthly ministry [Luke 4:18-19; John 14:12; 2 Corinthians 5:18].
2. Worship & Fellowship [Matthew 18:20]
   To be a community where GOD’s presence is manifest [Revelation 4:11]. GOD made man for fellowship and worship [John 4:23]. We gather to love GOD [Mark 12:30], love one another [Mark 12:31; 1 John 1:7], and draw near boldly [Hebrews 4:16].
3. Education & Training [2 Timothy 2:15]
   “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free” [John 8:32]. We train mature believers for ministry [Ephesians 4:12].
   Programmes: Discipleship Training, Adult Bible Study, Children’s Ministry, Youth Bible Study, School of Ministry, Vocational Training, Leadership Development [Romans 12:6; 1 Corinthians 12:14-31].
4. Kingdom Representation [Matthew 5:13-14]
   We are salt and light. We influence communities with biblical ideals. “A city set on a hill cannot be hidden” [Matthew 5:14].
5. Humanitarian Service [Titus 3:14]
   We let our light shine through love and practical care [Matthew 5:16], meeting urgent needs so we are not unfruitful [Titus 3:14]. We uphold the righteousness of JESUS CHRIST [Matthew 5:20].

PART V: OUR SPIRITUAL CULTURE & PRACTICE

1. Friendship with GOD
   “I no longer call you servants… I have called you friends” [John 15:15]. Friendship with GOD is obedience [John 15:14] and walking in wisdom [Proverbs 13:20].
2. Separation & Holiness
   We walk in the light [1 John 1:7], avoid the company of fools [1 Corinthians 5:11; Ephesians 5:7], and have the mind of CHRIST [Philippians 2:5-11]. “But if we walk in the light… the blood of JESUS CHRIST… purifies us” [1 John 1:7].
3. Distinction of the Righteous [Malachi 3:16-18]
   “Then those who feared the LORD… will be MINE, says the LORD ALMIGHTY… And you will see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked.” We are GOD’s treasured possession [Exodus 19:5].
4. Servant-Hearted Mission [Mark 10:45]
   “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” We serve, we don’t dominate [Matthew 20:26-28].

CONCLUSION: OUR SOLEMN COVENANT
We are Friends of JESUS CHRIST — called, sent, and empowered. We will reach, support, change, and advance until HE returns [Titus 2:13]. We will not compromise truth [Jude 1:3].

“To GOD ALONE be all glory, honor, and praise, forever and ever. AMEN.” [Romans 11:36]
