It was so good to see so many staying for lunch or dinner on Sunday, strengthening our fellowship as per our first 2030 Focus Goal!
I also introduced our second goal concerned with “Our Love for the Lost”:
Focus Goal 2 relates to Mission and Ministry.
We are seeking for people to be saved, with the gospel being explained clearly and for people to be challenged to follow Jesus. As we explored in our growth groups this week, “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13
We also want to be future-focused and especially strengthen our ministry to the next generation. We want to pray hard for Scripture in schools, Kids, Youth and our young adults – that they would grow in maturity and love for the Lord. We want every one of us to have good relationships with people outside of church so that we can love them and share the good news of Jesus with them – hence our actions to each develop friendships in the community and to run small-scale events to assist this. As we work together as a body to achieve this goal, we all need to consider our gifts and how we can best use what God has blessed us with to serve.
May God use each of us to fulfill Our Big Prayer for Jesus to transform hearts and lives in and through our church, to the glory of God.
Grace and peace,
Mark
