Our PurposeTo glorify God and be used by Him in the power of the Holy Spirit to help fulfil the Great Commission in cooperation with the rest of the Body of Christ. Our VisionHelping to build spiritual movements everywhere so everyone knows someone who truly follows Jesus Christ. Our MissionWIN by presenting the gospel to real live people in the field, on the ground, and helping those same people come into the Kingdom when they’re ready. BUILD by taking as long as necessary to consolidate and establish them, feed them spiritually, then teach them to feed themselves, until they are ready to repeat this cycle with others.SEND by helping disciples take hold of their responsibility for reaching the circle of influence God has given them and looking to extend God’s kingdom worldwide. Our ValuesGod’s Supremacy. The overriding principle of our lives as Christians is the recognition of God’s supremacy. We commune with Him in prayer, we expect divine guidance and intervention, and we seek to make ourselves available for His use. Our goal is to maintain a Kingdom mentality rather than a selfish focus. Faith. Humble dependence on God should characterise our Christian life. By living Spirit-filled lives, we expect to see God move through us as a ministry and as individuals to accomplish His tasks and build His Kingdom. Unity. Unity of purpose and practice speaks loudly to the people of our time. As we move forward to accomplish God’s work, we need to embrace one another as brothers and sisters in the faith. Relevance. No matter how professional, well-planned or strategic our activities may be, they still need to be relevant to the people of today. We need to communicate and act in ways that are culturally appropriate, understandable and attractive, but without compromising on biblical values. Fruit. The result of our work should be visible in fruit as defined by God’s Word. Examples include conversion, changed lives, church growth and evidence of spiritual maturity. Growth. Two obvious signs of growth should be spiritual multiplication and the existence and expansion of movements everywhere. Personal growth also falls into this category, as does organisational capacity building. Our European Priorities
