Time to move forward — We do not want to just see the fire and say that it is awesome. We do not want to just taste the love of God, but we want to live in it. We do not want to just hear miraculous stories of God, but we want to be part of his story.

 

It is time to paddle hard to surf on the wave that is coming. We want to ignite a spark and create a crosspoint to empower and equip the next generation, to be the salt and light of the world — making our faith relevant in the world today.

 

So, we are planting a new church in our city.

 

How? Firstly, we want to find answers from the Bible and through hearing from God. And as much as we are strongly placed on the biblical foundations, we want to be as creative and innovative as possible in our expressions. This church will warmly welcome and include all as Jesus did, yet we should be able to say “all in” when it comes to accepting his invitation to go further to be more like Jesus — being his apprentices/disciples.

 

This church may not be a place where many will end up settled and live a comfortable life, but we pray that this church will be a crosspoint where we can be equipped and learn to have a relevant faith in our world — in our workplaces, schools and neighbourhoods. And that we may go to nations or other cities or back to our hometown with the fire.

 

We pray that this church will be a crosspoint where many will encounter Jesus (personal experience), grow emotionally and spiritually healthy, and be the salt and light of this world.

 

What we do is: hear from God, trust him and obey.
