IN SUMMARY:

Our Mission:

As Adventists, united by the power of God, we want to reach secular unchurched postmodern people to enable them to become devoted disciples of Jesus Christ. Matthew 28:18-20, 1 Corinthians 9: 22.23, Revelation 14:6

Our Audience:

Unchurched postmodern secular people in the Western World

Our Vision:

1. To involve Adventists
in building authentic friendships with unchurched secular postmodern people in the process of leading them to Jesus Christ, and in providing hope through support and nurture

2. To resource Adventists, providing a multi-media package for church members to use in ministering to unchurched friends and leading them to spiritual maturity. The package will include written lessons, videotapes, CDs, DVDs with presentations and music. It will be used in a relaxed, non-threatening setting through LIFEdevelopment groups in homes and centres globally.

Our Reasons:

Because He first loved us. Evangelism is a long-term process, not a single event. This concept of lifetime evangelism represents a paradigm shift away from short-term evangelism. Lifetime evangelism enables every member of the church to be involved in real evangelistic witness - making 'every member a minister' a reality.

Our Values:

We value the attitudes of the truly human 'Son of Man' who 'came to seek and save those who are lost'. Luke19:10
We want to be like Him: generous, respectful, honest, considerate
