Vision Goals

What we are believing for:

“to see vibrant churches established in every sub-district within the five provinces and to see churches in Thailand mobilized for mission.”

A “vibrant church is established” when:

The Church

  • Is salt and light, positively impacting and influencing its community. People in the community know where to find help in trouble.
  • Is outward-looking – sending out and multiplying. It is reaching out into every part of the tambol. Unsaved people are regularly coming to Christ.
  • Demonstrates the Body of Christ functioning, different parts working together. It represents unity in diversity.
  • Sees regular evidence of God’s power at work through miracles, encountering God’s presence, and God speaking to people with Scriptures and promises.
  • Is self-governing and well administered.
  • Is financially self-supporting and generous.

Church leaders

  • Demonstrate a life in love with Jesus and a clear calling which makes them godly, servant-hearted, passionate and persevering.
  • Make other leaders and disciples. They Influence others with Kingdom vision, helping others to find their role in God’s plan.
  • Have an ability to lead, shepherd and protect the flock.

Church members

  • Honour and worship their Heavenly Father. Walk with God, lead fruitful lives serving Him, and are committed to prayer.
  • Have a healthy Biblical foundation, know how to find answers in the Bible and can apply Biblical principles.
  • Love and care for each other, developing trust and respect. They are honest, people of integrity, open to confess to each other and willing to forgive.
  • Are interested in others outside the church.

A “church is mobilized for mission” when:

The Church

  • Has mission at its core, with an awareness of needs beyond the local church and has an identification of its place in the worldwide church.
  • Engages in reaching its own community, sub-district and district. It is glad to engage with places further away.
  • Is free of fear about its own existence, prepared to sacrifice, generously giving up its best resources (people, time, money) to invest elsewhere.
  • Has established systems of finance and support specifically for mission.

Church leaders

  • Develop a Biblical theology of mission, have clear intentions to reach out and are able to communicate a vision and concern for the challenge of world mission.
  • Promote regular prayer for the world.
  • Help people to find their role in God’s mission plan. They invest in, empower, release and support emerging leaders.
  • Network and build relationships with mission organisations and other mission-minded churches.

Church members

  • Have a sense of a debt of love and know the heart of God.
  • Pray for the needs of the world, and have opportunities to develop a concern for the lost.

Participate in accomplishing the Great Commission, able to clearly present the Gospel in various situations.
