OUR MOTIVATION IN MISSION IS TO GLORIFY GOD

Our motivation in mission is to glorify God and thus we are united in our common purpose of the urgent evangelisation of East Asia’s peoples and the mobilisation of the church world-wide to that end.

We are committed to the Bible’s authority over our lives and ministry, and gladly submit ourselves to the lordship of Christ.

We seek to live authentic Christian lives that flow from dependence upon the indwelling Christ through the power of the Holy spirit.

We endeavour to practice a pattern of life both personal and corporate which reflects trust in the living God for material provision, victory over sin and fruitfulness in ministry.

We acknowledge prayer as a vital part of our fellowship together and thus set aside times for both individual and corporate prayer. We recognise that we are engaged in a spiritual warfare and depend upon the prayers of our supporting churches and ministry partners to see spiritual breakthrough and victory in ministry.
