Great Commission? Matthew
28:19-20 says: “19 Therefore go
and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey
everything I have commanded you…” One method for expanding GOD`s
Kingdom, is by training your Leaders.
Equip
We equip, not only our leaders, but also every member of our local assembly from Sunday School to Youth level, to the Ladies, to the Men`s Ministries and our Church Council for the work of ministry and for building up the body of Christ the Ephesians 4:12 way.
Send
The Church should never be confined to a building, rather the church is alive and active and called to following Christ with the purpose of making fishers of men. At CMT, we are the hands and feet of JESUS and seeks to influence the lives’ and reaching people for JESUS in our community first and then our city, our nation and the rest of the world.
LEADERSHIP
Called To Service And Leadership (WAP)
1. Willing
You only need to “want to” to see the many souls GOD can reach through you. “Whoever is of a willing heart…”, says the LORD (Exodus 35v5). “Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few”. Matthew 9v37
2. Available
When there is less of you there is more of GOD. That’s when availability meets opportunity. Isaiah 6v8 says: “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
3. Prepared
Our ability to follow JESUS (being a Disciple) and winning cities for Him hinges on preparedness. “And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him”.
Matthew 4v19-20
