If you abide in Me, says Christ, you will bear much fruit.

THIS IS WHAT WE SHARE IN A JOURNEY GROUP, but it is also the foundation of our ministry. Everything we do flows out of our abiding in Him, from the way God has raised up our leaders to how He has expanded the ministry into new cities, new countries, and new languages.​
For 20 years now, we have been abiding in Him and trusting Him to guide us and provide for us.

He has never let us down. We have prayed for Him to raise up Godly leaders to help us reach more souls. He has done that. We have asked Him to invite us where He wants us to go, and He is doing that. When we have had financial needs or otherwise, He has moved the hearts of those who believe in our mission and have ability to help, and those needs have been met.

WE ARE NOT ABOUT

big numbers. We are not about rapid growth. We are not about worldly measures of success.

we are about

abiding with Him and following Him.

Start Small.
Go Deep.
Pray Big.

As you look at our organization, you’ll notice that our organizational chart is not top-down. Rather, our organization exists to support the organism. Everything begins with abiding and is organically reproduced, much like the grapevine analogy Jesus used in John 15.

Other key DNA points that have come out of our abiding with Him

WE ARE GRACE-DRIVEN, NOT PERFORMANCE-BASED

Our identity and acceptance are found in Christ alone, freeing us to serve Him out of love rather than striving to earn His favor.

We are vertically oriented toward Jesus first and then horizontally expressing after that.

Everything we do flows from our relationship with Christ, allowing His love to overflow naturally into our relationships with others.

We are Holy Spirit-led.

We depend on the Holy Spirit to guide our decisions, transform our hearts, and empower us to live out God’s purposes each day.

God’s purposes are best served by lives that trust Him absolutely and have abandoned their lives into His care.

As we surrender our plans, ambitions, and desires to the Lord, we discover the freedom and joy of walking in His perfect will.

Everything we do is bathed in Prayer before, during and after.

Prayer is not simply something we do—it is the foundation of our dependence on God in every aspect of life and ministry.

We believe Jesus asks all of us to go and make disciples, teaching them all that He has taught us.

Every follower of Christ is called to invest in others, helping them grow into faithful disciples who will make disciples in return.

We believe God is awakening The Church, calling all of us to Himself and mobilizing all of us to participate in His work in the world.

We are honored to join Him in what He is already doing as He draws people to Himself and advances His Kingdom throughout the world.
