Para 1.18 We encourage people to fnd hope and

purpose to know Christ as their saviour and
to experience the transforming power of His
life and what it is to have a personal faith
and relationship with Christ. Helping
individuals who will follow the teachings of
Christ to live a moral, healthy, life of service
to God and to their community.
This is accomplished by evangelism,
introducing individuals to the teachings of
Jesus Christ and helping them understand
what the Bible says about sin, about God’s
ofer of forgiveness and how this can
radically change their life.
Through counselling, discipleship, and
Bible study they are taught what God’s
word says and how to apply that to their
life. Teaching them to be a part of the
church and this community. We encourage
and uphold traditional biblical values that

point out the sins and destructive attitudes and behaviors in our lives and society and encourage them to build their life on Christ’s example, thus helping them overcome and work through so many of life’s challenges and difficulties. This then helps individuals to be in a position where they can provide encouragement and assistance to others in the community.
