PASTOR’S VISION

1. Preaching and Teaching the Word Faithfully Will Eventually Bear much Fruit

Isaiah 55:10- 11As the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

2. A Vision for Changed Lives. The Statistic God Cares Most About is the Number of Changed Lives.
