Win the Lost • Disciple the Saved
"The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also."
— 2 Timothy 2:2
"But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, 'I BELIEVED, THEREFORE I SPOKE,' we also believe, therefore we also speak, knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, so that the grace which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God. Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day."
"Then Jesus said to His disciples, 'If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?'"
"I will stand on my guard post and station myself on the rampart; and I will keep watch to see what He will speak to me. Then the LORD answered me and said, 'Record the vision and inscribe it on tablets, that the one who reads it may run. For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; for it will certainly come, it will not delay.'"
"I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one."
"According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted."
1 Timothy 1:11"Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity."
2 Timothy 1:9"For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day."
2 Timothy 1:12"The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also."
2 Timothy 2:2"Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you?"
Luke 16:11"Moses said to the people, 'Remember this day in which you went out from Egypt, from the house of slavery; for by a powerful hand the LORD brought you out from this place.'"
Exodus 13:3-5John 17:4 — "I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do."
Sharing the Gospel with those who have not heard, calling the lost to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. The first step in the Great Commission.
Building up believers in their faith through teaching, fellowship, and discipleship. Helping Christians grow to maturity and become disciple-makers themselves.
Through intentional relationships and entrusted teachings, we equip men to become reliable leaders who will, in turn, disciple others. Our mission focuses on three core pillars:
Engage men in intentional relationships that foster spiritual growth and leadership capacity, empowering them to become effective disciple-makers in their communities.
Facilitate a nurturing environment for renewal and discipleship, utilizing retreats and the discipleship process to foster development and accountability among leaders.
Establish a lasting infrastructure that benefits future generations, ensuring a continuous impact through discipleship and leadership development in line with our mission.
Right teaching and correct doctrine. The foundation of what we believe about God, Christ, and Scripture.
From combining Latin words meaning "right" and "teaching"
Right practice and correct action. The application of our beliefs in how we live and minister to others.

"Dependence, surrender, neutrality, an eagerness to obey God, no vested interest in the outcome, not trying to build anything — these are keys to knowing God and His ways."— Walter Henrichsen, "Manipulating Authority," Day 335
"Many people, Christian and non-Christian alike, follow an annual ritual of beginning each year planning how they wish to invest their time, energy, and resources. Such planning is wise, however, only if you do not make goals and objectives that require the performance of others to accomplish."— Walter Henrichsen, "Establishing Goals," Day 127
