Why is the Go N Grow Campaign Important
Jesus commanded the Apostle Peter, "upon this Rock (the revelation of Godhead) I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." We are that church for which Jesus gave his life. After his resurrection, Jesus met with his disciples and commanded them to wait in Jerusalem until they be endowed with power from the Holy Ghost. The power, the irresistible influence, to testify to the reality and effectiveness of the message of Jesus Christ is yours to carry.
Each of us can share the change that Christ has made in our lives. We have friends, Mothers, cousins, Fathers, children, classmates, and co-workers that, should we embolden ourselves, we can share our testimony and invite them to "taste and see that the Lord is good." Contrary to popular belief, it is not necessary that you be a teacher, preacher, or any other kind of expert to testify about Jesus. You could be like the blind man that Jesus healed. When asked whether he thought Jesus was a sinner, the formerly blind answered, "If he be a sinner, I know not. One thing I know, that whereas I was blind now I see." Many of God's saints paralyse themselves in fear because others enlist their doubts about the sincerity of our faith or the authority of Jesus. It just take faith and fortitude to stand like this man stood against doubters and gainsayers. He spoke with such simple terms but powerful conviction. Such conviction is captive in the heart of every person God has filled with the Holy Spirit. I encourage you LET IT GO N GROW.
What is the Goal of the Go N Grow Campaign?
Any campaign might be defined as planned course of action formulated to achieve defined objectives. The defined objective is doubling the quantity of committed saints in our local your ministries. The planned course of action in this blog as well as the faithfullness of God's people to make the vision a reality. Make no mistake, we intend to galvanize and mobilize around this purpose. However, we will choose to spend our energy wisely. This site will be the place where insights, doctrine, tips, and
procedures will be shared in an effort to double to the number of committed saints attending your local church. Because this is a statewide campaign it is important that a site like this,
http://www.cdcpypu.com/,
FACEBOOK, and
upcoming video sharing efforts are made to keep every on the same page. Each church, district, and region may choose to
implement the Go N Grow Campaign in a way that best fit their entity, however, it is important that we make Going and Growing a priority across in each youth and young adult ministry of the CDC. However, the goal is unified. To provide all the tools and equipment necessary for local churches to understand their communities needs, develop programs that meet those needs, invite the community to come to church, facilitate the change from community church goer to saint, and from church going saint to core mission minded saint.
How do I get involved?
Finally, we want you to know assuredly that we are here to support you in this effort. No one, except Jesus and your pastors, wants to see you Go n Grow more than we do. If you have any questions or comments please free to email
allthingsapostolic@gmail.com or go to
http://www.cdcpypu.com/ and get in touch with your state or regional leaders for more information. The important thing is that we are in this together. Failure is not an option because Jesus already promised that "the gates of hell shall not prevail" against the church.
