The Victorious Church and the Fulfillment of the Great Commission

We believe that the Holy Spirit is producing a victorious and overcoming church throughout the earth at this time. A church that fulfills with strength and vision the Great Commission entrusted to it: to preach the gospel of the kingdom of God to the ends of the earth, to heal the sick, to release the captives and to make disciples. This church is the bridal church of Jesus Christ, which is preparing with purity and beauty for the return of its bridegroom.

"That he (Jesus) may present it to himself as a church that is glorious, so that it has neither stains nor wrinkles nor anything like that, but that it may be holy and blameless." Ephesians 5:27

"Now go and make disciples of all nations, and baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and teach them to keep all things which I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the world! Amen." Mt 28, 19-20

When you hear the term mission today, there are very different ideas about what is meant by it. Often, humanitarian projects or diaconal aid are primarily considered. And, of course, these are important areas of missionary work. But if we look at the missionary journeys of the Apostle Paul in the Bible, for example, we see that mission is much more than that.

In Paul's missionary work we see that above all he continued the works of Jesus – just as Jesus had previously told his disciples, whom he himself sent out with the Great Commission:

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth in me shall also do the works which I do, and shall do greater than these, because I go unto my Father." Jn 14:12

"And Jesus came forth, and spake unto them, saying, All power in heaven and on earth has been given unto me.
So go and make disciples of all nations, and baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit
.
And teach them to keep all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the world! Amen." Mt 28,18-20

So Paul went on his missionary journeys, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, preaching and teaching the Word, and freeing people from demonic bondage and disease. Wherever he went, new congregations sprang up and existing congregations were strengthened and equipped. In addition, through his ministry, Christians were instructed in the Word of God and led to spiritual maturity. New ministries arose and young servants found guidance and were released in their calling and set into service. In short, the wonderful kingdom of God was spreading.

This biblical definition of mission given in the vision is our heartbeat. We live dedicated to allow ourselves to be used by God for the expansion of his kingdom through the proclamation of the Gospel. We also serve in equipping and strengthening the Body of Christ through preaching, teaching, prayer, and service in the gifts of the Holy Ghost. We also support humanitarian projects, emerging communities and ministries and also serve in mentoring and advising prospective leaders.

Thus, we participate in the fulfillment of the Great Commission of Jesus and in the equipping & strengthening of His wonderful end-time church.
