The Vision I Have for the Church

I write this with thankfulness that God has placed in my heart a vision for His people, the church. This is relatively new and fresh so I'm not entirely sure what the vision will look like when it comes into full development.

I do know that revivals start with a vision and that is what I want to see: a revival first in my own personal life, then my friends' lives, my educational institution (IWU), the local church, and then finally reaching the global church.

Writing this vision helps me sort out all my thoughts and organize them.

The vision I have for the church starts with a deep passion for Him, a passionate love and compassion that can't help but set the world on fire.

Next the vision moves toward discipleship: equipping, motivating, training, and encouraging others to gain knowledge as to what it means for members of the local church to realize who they are called to become in God. We are all unique and have something different to offer each other.

There are many issues in the world that need to be addressed. I'm motivated to help those around me because I want to see lives improved not simply because I'm a Christian so I have to be right. I believe (and hope) I have stepped out of that mentality.

Please understand I write this with humility in my heart and mind. God has placed in me a depth for His people and that is what is fueling this vision.

I invite you to pray with me that lives will be turned onto God.

All for His glory + Always <3
