Mission

Apostolic Faith Mission

Apostolic – Multiplying churches – that do not require buildings or clergy –

Faith – ..through the Apostles’ teaching..

Mission – across cultural (ethnic,  religious, and generational) boundaries.

Apostolic Faith

By Apostolic Faith, we are referring the faith of Peter:

2 Peter 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

..which is available to us by the teaching about righteousness:  A foundational Apostolic teaching that is laid throughout our free Unit 1 of Miracle Healing 101, and introduced in our Foundations Course.

Mission

Definition

By mission, we mean crossing cultural (religious, ethnic, generational) boundaries through the Apostles’ teaching of spirit, soul, and body wholeness in Christ, with the all the spiritual and character gifts following us all, as we follow Him.

Missionaries

Missionaries choose to travel on non-work permitting visas to plant churches among cultures who have not heard of Jesus, or who may not have a viable Apostolic community that resembles the New Testament Church of the Book of Acts.

Culture

This type of Apostolic culture is foreign to almost everyone at this time.  We are providing a very structured and Biblical environment to create it.  In so doing, we are replacing the old way of doing church.

Missions

We all bring our culture with us anywhere we go to some extent. This is part of the reason that we all receive the same Biblical training (towards unity in the faith) as Missionaries, who have completed it and planted healthy churches from conversion growth in their own area.
