Purpose Statement Explained

Our purpose: Light Of Life has many functions, responsibilities, and ministries, but only one basic purpose. Everything we do is related to that purpose in advancing God’s Kingdom.

to glorify God: This is our highest motivation and all-encompassing purpose. We do not glorify man, organization, or government, but God, and we evaluate what we do by this standard.

planting, strengthening, and partnering with churches: We are convinced that God's primary means of relating to and transforming the world is the church. Where there is no church, we work to start one. Where there is a church, we seek to work together. Our ideal church-mission relationship is a dynamic, interdependent partnership that reaches out together to love the unreached world.

evangelize: We believe that mankind is lost and needs to be redeemed through Christ Jesus, whom we proclaim as Savior. All of our ministry is motivated by this belief to advance God’s Kingdom.

the unreached: Our major focus is on reaching unevangelized people groups. We want to minister among individuals and communities who have never had the opportunity to understand the Gospel.

minister to human need: We acknowledge that the ultimate human need is to know God. We also believe that He has called us to compassionate, holistic service in this broken world. Jesus is our example as we minister to people who are suffering because of, HIV and AIDS, poverty, illness, or natural disaster.

disciple believers: This involves teaching the Word of God, helping people to discover their God-given gifts, enabling them to serve others, and helping them become mature in Christ and a profound relationship in the walk of Jesus.

into churches: Our focus on the church distinguishes us from specialized service agencies focused on aviation, linguistics, and medicine. While we are involved in many of those specialty areas, we always seek to plant churches or partner with a local church wherever we work.

equip churches to fulfill Christ's Commission: This involves challenging the church to obey Christ's command to make disciples of all nations. We seek to provide leadership training and practical help to enable churches to establish mission sending agencies. We desire to be a church-planting mission and a mission-planting mission!
