Where are we headed for?
|
|
The Hope for the Nations Church in Svishtov has started on a course of making an impact on the town of Svishtov, on North Bulgaria, the whole nation, the Balkans, Europe and the other nations too. We have a broad, open vision.
|
|
Our commission is clear
|
|
More specifically:
1. We are preparing for a church that would increase up to 10 000 people, which is about one third of the population of the town.
2. Our building will be situated in a conspicuous position at the best place in the town and will be designed to seat 10 000, as well as to house various ministries, including a Sunday School, nursery, library&book depository, etc. The building will be aesthetic and equipped up-to-date. There will be a hotel sector available for guests to be put up, and additional facilities needed for the church's ministries.
3. We will be instructing the church members in the ability to find out their God-given gifts and talents, encouraging them to help and serve others. We will be sending missionaries to a number of nations. A wide variety of ministries will go out from the church carrying the fire of the Holy Spirit to other countries. Hundreds of ordinary believers will reach out daily to the people in our town and this nation.
4. This church will be an oasis in the wilderness where the nations will come and refresh themselves. It will carry a reviving ministry chiefly where the Lord calls us to. The church will reach people through radio, television and the press.
5. The emphasis of the Bible School will be laid not so much on theology but rather on practice, teaching the students to live a life of faith and trust in God, preparing them both practically and doctrinally for the hard conditions of missionary work, for the five-fold ministry, and releasing them to impact the world carrying God's fire.
6. The children and the youth will be trained in Christian schools.
7. We will plant churches in the area and later in other towns and cities within the country and abroad as well.
8. People operating in the fivefold ministry will go out from the church under our spiritual cover.
|
How can we get there?
|
|
1. By following God's guidance.
2. By NEVER giving up.
3. With everyone doing something - whatever God wants from them.
4. By equipping others to do the work of the ministry.
5. Through prayer.
6. By maintaining good relations with other churches with a similar vision and correcting ourselves with them (guardianship).
|
How long will it take? As long as it may - these are goals worthy of being achieved, irrespective of the efforts that we have to put forth.
Why should we do this? This is the will of God for our church.
Do we intend to spend our lives working on this? Yes, we do because we want to bear fruit for the Kingdom of God.
P.S. This vision will expand in the course of time.
