Dear Kingsway Family,
I want to focus on our MISSION STATEMENT in this newsletter: “To equip believers to be efficient ministers.”
What does an EFFICIENT MINISTER look like?
Rick Warren explains it this way: “God gave me a gift, not for me but for you, and God gave you a gift, not for you but for me. If you don’t use your gift, you’re depriving me; if I don’t use my gift, I’m robbing you.”
I firmly believe that the Church is not an AUDIENCE to be ENTERTAINED, but rather an ARMY to be EMPOWERED!!!
Paul further illustrates this in Ephesians 4:11-12 “Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.”
During the next few months we will have various opportunities where you will be empowered to be an efficient minister:
Chosen Women’s Conference
This conference will take place on Friday, 2 August and Saturday, 3 August. On Sunday, 4 August we will have a Combined Family Service.
Equipping Encounter (EE) Evenings
In order to make and impact, we need to equip believers. Therefore, will have the following equipping encounters on Sunday evenings: Mentorship for Impact; Counseling for Impact; Discipleship for Impact; Evangelism for Impact and Intercession for Impact.
God Encounter (GE) Evenings
We will also host Worship Evenings on Sunday evenings where you can grow spiritually in your relationship with God.
Make sure to diarise the above equipping encounters in order to be empowered to be efficient ministers.
