Dear Partners
Thursday, 01 Jan 2009
Come end February 2009, ACTS Church will be 9 years old. God has been faithful not only to keep us going but to keep us growing. It's possible to go and not grow, and it's also possible to grow but not go. In order to excel in both, we must endeavour to walk closely with the Holy Spirit and embrace the change(s) that He brings along the way. The Holy Spirit works in our lives mainly to keep us faithful, focused, fresh and on fire.
If ACTS is going to continue to succeed, we need all these four ingredients. We need to stay faithful to our call and focused on our commission ie to seek and save the lost. We also need to stay fresh with the Holy Spirit's leading as to how, what, who, where and when – in order to truly influence the world we live in. And of course, the Holy Spirit helps keep our fire and passion burning for as long as it takes – which is essential to finishing well.
ACTS is committed in 2009 to exponential growth and supernatural exploits. Together we will build a new community centre (the Dream Village), that will be the centre of community. We will be environmentally responsible. We will fight poverty, feed children, educate young people, heal the sick, empower entrepreneurs and promote justice. We will commit to changing our world with the power that God gives to us. We will champion revival and unity, nurture dreams and dreamers, plant churches and penetrate communities all over the world with the love of Jesus!
Our mission is to "help people believe" and to help enlist, educate, equip and empower the call of God on their lives – that they may serve the Lord, shine for Jesus and shape the world they live in. We are on the search for 3,000 partners who will not only call ACTS their home but who will help us change the world! Are you one of the 3,000? Will you join our cause?
Living for something worth dying for!
Love,
Pastor |
