Our Mission Goals:
Jesus says,
“other sheep I have, which are not of this fold:
them also I must bring,
and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold,
and one Shepherd” (John 10:16).
Because we believe that there are others,
whom our Lord would bring into His sheepfold,
and like Him who came “to seek and to save
that which was lost” (Luke 19:10),
our mission goal is two-fold:
(1) to evangelise the lost (see 1 Timothy 2:3-4), and
(2) to edify the saints (see Ephesians 4:12-13).
Our Mission Strategies:
In order to fulfill our mission goal, our strategies are:
(1) to be witnesses for Christ to our love ones,
our friends, our neighbours, and to the strangers (Acts 1:8);
(2) to establish and extend local churches
and other Christian ministries and institutions
(such as a Christian Discipleship Center, Boarding school and Kindergarten, should the Lord provide the means),
for the saving and nurturing of souls (Matthew 28:19-20); and
(3) to train and equip the local Christians (2 Timothy 2:2)
as willing leaders (1 Peter 5:2)
for effective service (Romans 12:11),
for the furtherance of God’s kingdom here on earth (Matthew 6:10).
Biblical Examples:
God has given us a clear pattern of how mission work is to be carried out, as recorded in His infallible Word. In the Acts of the Apostles, we are told that after the Apostle Paul had led some people to Christ in his missionary journeys, he would send them to a local church. He recognised the necessary of establishing local churches in foreign missions, to take care of the flocks of God (see Acts 14:23; 15:41; 16:5,40; 20:7).
Likewise, following Paul’s example who says, “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ” (1 Corinthians 11:1), we will continue to meet together every Lord’s day without ceasing for worship and fellowship.
As a church, we seek to follow the biblical guideline, to continue “stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers” (Acts 2:41). So help us Lord. Amen!
