Jon Wright 26th Feb 2006 Vision and Mission Sunday: The Upwards Looking Church
Oasis has a vision • Reconciling the Hearts of Fathers and Children to Heal the Nations. • 使父親與兒女的心和好來醫治列國 • Comes from Mal 4:6 • Given ~ 2 years ago • We believe its still valid today. • Note Nations - Oasis is multi-national
To realise a vision you need a mission plan • Training, equipping and teaching the Word of God • Worshipping in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:21-24) • Learning to minister through Love (1 Cor 13:1-3) • We now will need to set goals (eg size, # of baptisms, finance, staff etc)
The leadership team. • Jon Wright (Chairman) • Karen Pearson (Sunday School) • Abraham Nu (Sunday mornings) • Anton Roelofse (Prayer and Intercession) • Erik Froonhoff (Finance) • Rock Lo (Chinese Pastorial care)
The Ministry leaders. • Ya-Ching: Ladies Group + Hospital (secretary / ministry) • Mei: Worship (finance secretary / ministry) • Youth: Clemens with Michelle, John, Alice, Andy, Becy • Underground: Jason & April • Ushers: Percy • Prison: Imo, Hennie, Will
Final Words. • All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God (John 3:21-24) • Jesus died for everyone - yes even you (John 3:16) • As we forgive others so our Father in heaven will forgive us (Matt 6:14) • Our past shapes who we are, it may not be the best - but it is nothing to be ashamed of - Christians do not live in Shame they live in victory.
