This is probably the best explanation of how I understand why God called this fellowship into being. It is a strong, biblical, global and challenging vision that we can fulfill only by deep, ongoing time with God in worship and prayer where He can refresh, guide and empower us to do all this. It would our joy to partner with God in this--by His grace. This is what I am living for. It is who God made me. I hope you can join me in this--and more importantly, join God in this as a member of this church.

7. The Only Way to Do This
Grow & Go totally dependent on Know#
Worship & Prayer have to be our highest priority (Know)#
Kingdom work must be done by the King Who graciously
agrees to work through us. #
The difference between a lukewarm church, a good church
and a very fruitful church is how well they know God.
Knowing comes from spending time with Him.

8. The Primacy of Relationship
Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be
added unto you ( Matt. 6:33)#
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the
desires of your heart. ( Ps. 37:4)#
“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength,
they wall mount up with wings like eagles…” ( Is. 40:31)

9. Primacy of Prayer
Pray without ceasing#
Don’t be anxious: pray! #
Jesus prayed early every morning. He went into the
wilderness many times to pray ( Luke 5:16)#
Testimonies

10. Worship & Prayer
We do not pray to do the work of the church. Prayer is the
work of the church. #
Repent with me. #
Pray for grace to pray. Pray for help to adjust life to to
make time for communion with God. #
We must pray a lot to fulfill God’s vision for us. There is
no other way.
