Session 1: The G12 Vision (Ps Lawrence Khong)

3 Promises
1. Gladness in our hearts - delight
2. Growth in our ministry - development
3. Global impact - destiny

3 Major Challenges
1. The need for inter-dependence - the lack of community
- FRAGMENTATIONS AND POSSESSIVENESS because each ‘family’ operates on their own

2. The need for skill training - the lack of competence
- UNPREPARED TO LEAD cell groups as we do not have the skills despite having passion

3. The need for integration - the lack of convergence
- NOT HAVING A COMMON GOAL ie to win the nations together

Vision for Transformation (2000 - 2015)
“To serve the Nations by effecting Community Transformation in Singapore and Gateway Cities in Asia.”

Luke 19:10 “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save THAT which was lost.”

What was lost?
1. Our relationship with God - eg Adam and Eve cast out of the garden of Eden
2. Our relationship with each other - eg Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel
3. Our relationship with the marketplace - eg the ground was cursed

Luke 19:10 “Today salvation has come to this HOUSE.”
Context of this verse = the salvation of Zacheus because HOUSE = HOME + MARKETPLACE.

The 3 Dimensions of Marketplace
1. Personal
2. Inter-personal
3. Marketplace

Colossians 1:19-20 “For it was the Father’s good pleasure… to reconcile ALL THINGS…”

Ephesians 1:7-10 “…that He might gather together in one ALL THINGS in Christ, both in heaven and on earth…”

We WILL NOT GIVE UP any area that has been taken away.
