I. Introduction
God entrusted the different areas of our lives to us out of love with a great purpose of
living a joyful life. The joy that goes around the different priorities in our lives is a
fulfillment and a manifestation of how God truly loves us until this very moment.
II. Our Purpose
Our mission asks that we always return to the very purpose of why man is created-
simply, to know, to love and to serve God. With these basic things, we will learn that our
life as followers of Christ is not that complicated. What is expected of us is just the
essentials:
1. To know God
We thank God for allowing us to know Him through SFC, knowing Him leads us to
deeper sense of longing to serve Him even more.
With every “Yes” we have given to Him in our service, God reveals who he is to us.
We have come to know of His plans, His will and His promises in our lives.
Ultimately, we have come to know His love. Because we are loved, God wants our
lives to never be the same- He wants us to mature, grow and change. In response,
we must get to know God even more intimately, through our prayer time and
reading scripture.
2. To love God
It become easier to love God as we continue to serve Him because we get to be
intimate with him through the “encounters” that we experience during the mission.
1
We love God when we honor Him with our victories in mission. The more we do so,
the more we recognize how much enduring His love is for us. We respond in loving
Him with unwavering commitment to God the way that John the Beloved loved
Christ. He stayed with Him until His death of the cross. He continued afterwards
taking care of who Jesus loved- His Mother Mary. Above all else, he prioritized God
always assuming a posture of humility.
4. To serve God
The natural respond in knowing and loving God is serving Him. Service becomes so
natural because it is through it we can give back to God all the goodness and
blessings He provides us.
Life goes on, mission goes on. We serve God by fully living our Mission with
renewed urgency. God wants all of His children to experience His love. This is why
we must always strive for excellence in service knowing that every opportunity we
serve is a Jesus experience for us and for them. In our service we strive to be like
Christ.
III. Our Mission Essentials
As we continue to be active in this community, we acknowledge that fullness comes
also in doing mission. Beholding on how the Lord is using us with the mission that He
entrusted and pondering on the things that He wants us to focus on. We allow the
Lord to affirm us with a message that we should always behold in our minds and
ponder in our hearts.
1.Faith (“I can”)
In facing guilty and unworthiness in service, God wants us to run after Him. We do
this by adopting the posture of Mother Mary. Despite the absurdity of God’s calling
for her, she believed in her anointing to be the Mother of God in her response: “Be
it done to me according to thy word” (Luke 1:38). And so, we must acknowledge
that in our service, we are not just filling in a position because we can do it. We are
anointed through the leading of the Holy Spirit and to do what God wants us to do.
2.Hope (“do all things”)
God sees us for who we are but most importantly who we will be. Similarly in
mission, we must dare to dream big, even as our vision states that “every man and
woman all over the world experiencing Christ”. He will surely provide us
directions to do this. We will see Christ working in us and in our mission. But we
must entrust this to Him, in the way Jesus entrusted John and Mother Mary to each
other: “Behold your son, behold your mother”
3.Love (“through Christ who strengthens me”)
2
God loved us first before we even loved the people and the mission. This is what
gives us strength as we strive for excellence as missionaries. The standard of how
we do mission is how God loved us.
IV. CONCLUSION
Our community is one of the biggest number of missionaries being sent to different
areas all around the world. This proves that when you get to be more closer with God
and found fullness in His love, its but natural that doing mission is our goal.
God’s ultimate desire for all of us is to love Him and love the people that He will send
us, we can rely on God’s promise that He will take care of us as we take care of the
mission He has entrusted to us.
