Ephesians 4:11-13 (ESV)
11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,
12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,
13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
We are committed to a five-fold expression of Equipping in our spiritual family as well as the greater Wichita area.
I believe the Lord is establishing a Global Antioch in this city/region.
There are many Antioch’s in the earth; we are just one of them.
A biblical Antioch does not become the epicenter but rather the servant of Kingdom advancement.
A biblical Antioch has servanthood at its core!
Acts 13:1-3 (ESV)
1 Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a lifelong friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
3 Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.
We are to be a Prayer Furnace and a Sending Center.
