GMI Intro

Our desired objective (call) is to provide an opportunity for engaging with the Gospel, while creating an atmosphere & understanding that change takes time. Making it very clear to everyone that the journey into Faith in Jesus as Lord & Savior, is an individual process of learning, trusting, and obeying the LORD. This process must be respected and encouraged (given room to breathe), as individuals contemplate with self application for His or Her next steps in the Faith. Everyone is intelligent, made in the image of God, and must be respected, especially when it comes to the capacity to make personal decisions as the Spirit of the Lord illuminates truth to the heart.

It is our hope to come alongside individuals and to encourage them in the faith, no matter where they may be in the process. This includes everyone, the not yet Christ followers and also those who are presently following Christ. Our continued conversation with everyone will be—“Are you presently living in the Grace of God?—If you are—lets continue encouraging each other on in the journey—or— if you are not sure that you are living in the Grace of God or are not sure what the Grace of God is—please let us do our very best to explain, direct, and encourage you into the Grace of God—this moment.” Living in the Grace of God (Being Christian) is not just a one time decision; it is a lifelong continuous journey of learning what it means to be a Christ Follower day by day—moment by moment—choice by choice. We will, by the Grace of God, continue to share the Good News that we can all embrace our world with encouragement and understanding, knowing that God is in our midst.

Understanding our culture in its context is crucial for being effective as Representatives for the Kingdom of Heaven. Being in touch with our Generation and knowing its pulse will bring about the greatest opportunities for engagement. This is a Generation that longs for trusting Relationships with the basic understanding of each others values & uniqueness as individuals. Wild times—indeed. Therefore, we see great potential for us to embrace others with genuine care and concern, demonstrating Christ like Love. The Golden Rule is imperative. People are quick to discern the real thing, if it is not there, they’re gone. People are intelligent and as they sense and detect authentic, selfless love, they will cling to it. Like never before, we as Christians need to be sure our motives are as pure as we know we can make them, so we can truly be representing the Kingdom of Heaven and not are own agendas. These are difficult times for everyone, as our world is trembling with change; the Spirit of Lord is calling us to embrace our culture, demonstrating the Grace & Mercy of God. We hear the cry, and we are willing to risk all we have to fulfill His call. We believe as God calls us into His mission, He will provide the resources to do so.
