God’s mission is simple, practical and clear:

“Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)

We believe that every son and daughter of God is called to be the hands and feet of Jesus in this world. We believe that following Jesus and obeying the greatest commandment to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself, starts within your family. Since He first loved us, His extravagant love reaches neighbors, streets, cities, countries and eventually nations through us. His love celebrates diversity and sees no race, gender, color or heritage.

We believe in the overflow of the Father’s heart to see everyone free, empowered, fully known and loved, and at home in His embrace. We believe that mission also means to suffer, to rejoice and to be fully dependent upon God. We need His love to fill us so we can give away what we have received. We can only empower when we have been empowered by Daddy God first. We can only love when we have been loved by our Father first.

Mission is not a religion that is being proclaimed. It is a persevering of love, lived out in compassion for the one in front of us.

Mission is life on life, process, empathy, an offering, a friendship. It is relational. It is less about what we do and more about who we are.

Our heart burns to see the transformation of an orphan spirit into the spirit of son ship, from poverty, numbness, blindness and oppression into freedom, abundance and joy.

“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’” (Matthew 25:34-40)
