It is our dream to be an oasis of life in this city where the hurting, the depressed, the sick, the frustrated and the confused can find love, acceptance, help, hope, healing, forgiveness, guidance and encouragement. It is our dream to feed the poor, to clothe the naked and to take care of orphans and widows. It is our dream to effectively share the Good News of Jesus Christ with every man, woman and child in the greater Durban area. It is our dream to welcome a tithe of our city as members into the fellowship of our church family, loving, learning, laughing and living in harmony together fulfilling God’s vision for us. It is our dream to develop every incoming member to spiritual maturity, ministering to the whole man(spirit, soul and body) through small groups, seminars, retreats, bible studies and a Bible School for our members. It is our dream to equip every member for significant ministry helping them discover the gifts and talents God has given them. It is our dream to be a lighthouse to the nations – a missions base regularly sending out missionaries to the four corners of the earth. It is our dream to regularly send out hundreds of career missionaries and church workers all around the world on short-term missions projects. It is our dream to plant several daughter churches every year nationally and internationally. It is our dream to have suitable, practical but yet beautiful facilities designed to minister to the total person, spiritually, emotionally, physically and socially. These facilities will include a worship auditorium seating thousands, recreation facilities, children’s facilities, Bible School, several fellowship halls, administration facilities and schools. It is our dream to have a farm with rehabilitation facilities, industry warehouses, orphanages, old aged homes and several community centers throughout greater Durban. I confidently state that these dreams will become reality. Why? Because they are inspired by God. |
