The Pastor’s Vision
True Christianity is based on the teachings of Christ; my ministry’s focus is based upon that very fact. There can not be a sincere and diligent following of Christ without following the principles of Christ. I envision these principles being pressed upon us because it is the will of God. To be truly blessed and be filled with the fullness of joy that’s in Christ Jesus, we must get back to the basics of Christianity. I also envision a ministry of missions that will inspire the lives of many and evangelize many to the saving knowledge and following of our Saviour the Christ.
Christ emphasizes the importance of the commands to love God and to love our neighbor as ourselves. During these tough economical times, we must strive to live out this principle and seek to assist our “neighbors” at home and abroad. We do this by active participation, sponsorship and leadership in both Christian ministries and community involvement. We have faith that “God’s work done God’s way has resources” (Philippians 2:1-5) and we stretch out on that faith, because sometimes that’s all we have, as we seek to be a responsive, compassionate, community-oriented church / people.
Missions are an excellent resource to help prepare our youth for service, and it helps young people connect their faith with the choices they make about how they live and why they serve. Our youth have a lot to give, and we should nurture their habits of giving and serving; we should be more intentional and effective in nurturing a generous spirit in youth.
Our economy is in dire need; unemployment is at an all time high, and sometimes the ends just don’t meet. As Christians we should prepare ourselves for sharing, helping, and gift-giving in as much as 2 Corinthians 9:6-9 teaches us to participate in a collection, for God loveth a cheerful giver.
We must be thankful for what we have, and always remember – but for the grace of God, it could be us that stand in dire need. It is my desire and passion to plead, work, and focus on MISSIONS, for the glory of God is the basis for my every activity. My love for God, my commitment to the advancement of His name, and my passion for His glory will ultimately be that which renders my service in missions acceptable in His sight.
