One Lord One Church One Mission
It is the power and purpose of Christ working through His Church to accomplish His mission.
The purpose of Power of One is to awaken the heart of each individual in our Eurasia church so that they stand holy and obedient before Christ and carry out His will of reaching the lost persons around them. This helps to fulfill the region's mission: "To make disciples in Christ, like Christ and for Christ." The aim of this initiative is to help churches become missionally engaged by providing them tested and proven resources that are translated and packaged for immediate use. The materials provide sound holiness doctrine in several forms, along with strategies for the local church to engage their community and start new churches. Therefore, the persons who will be involved with Power of One will be the Holy Spirit, the pastoral training team, every pastor and each person in every church in Eurasia.
First, our church in Eurasia is growing, but most of the evangelism and basic discipleship is being created by the engines of Nazarene Compassionate Ministries and Jesus Film Harvest Partners. The growth generated by the churches is not as strong as it should be. Second, there is a lack of quality holiness materials for the teaching and discipling of most of the Nazarenes in Eurasia. The same is true for the encouragement and training of pastors in the discipling and teaching of their people, so that they in turn become pastors, teachers and evangelists. Third, it moves the church closer to its mandate concerning persons who are in our churches but have not yet moved from being in Christ, to where they become like Christ and so are then able to minister for Christ. It is our prayer that the Power of One initiative will be the catalyst that moves all of us into being all God created us to be.
