We know....

That there are theological connections to the work we do 'with people'.

When we step out to be with people in homes and in conversations, we are encountering a Spiritual connection that prompts power in others as GRACE is available to all Titus 2:11:

That All have SINNED and fall short of His glory, but Grace is available and Christ died to buy us back.


That we all live because of the original CREATION; People are created in the image of God, in His likeness - we ought to be respective with others, set an example by good character, sound judgment, and seeing God in others.


That INCARNATION is necessary for church expansion and for behavioural change. In homes, in the streets, whatever opportunity we get, because we need to follow that example of Christ of being with the People. Emmanuel, God is with us. We are with people because we are also Ambassadors for Christ, we represent Him and work alongside Him.

That the KINGDOM of God is like a mustard seed, so small and yet grows to produce fruit, Kingdom expressions are not always 'huge', they can pass without being notices, but they are significant. We watch out for this expressions of Kingdom, and we start from there and pray for expansion through good works. We pray that our 'eyes' see and our 'ears' hear those Kingdom expressions while we are in the communities. We are watchful.

That there is HEALING as we engage with people, transformation is possible that leads to living wholly, and find Spiritual and physical HEALTH. This cannot happen unless we are willing to see it happen through participation with others.

Isaiah 61: 2 - 5, The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor...

bind up the broken hearted...
proclaim freedom for the captives...
release from darkness for the prisoners.....
to proclaim the year of the Lords favor.....
conform those who mourn.....bestowing on them a crown of beauty....the oil of gladness....and a garment of Praise instead of a Spirit of despair. They will be called, oaks of righteousness a planting of the LORD for the display of His splendor...

We also know that the process, helps us accomplish sense for MISSION..Going out and Making disciples, our Mission is to participate in the expansion of Ministry and Kingdom through participation and being present with others.
