The Vision
NTC Ministries Vision 1981
Phil 1:27-28 "Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; 28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God."
The primary purpose of the ministry of The New Testament Church is to teach the uncompromising Word of God, proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ, and teaching Kingdom principles, through grace and faith! The vision the Lord gave me was of a church that would be a civic center. That is, a church which would be open and available to minister to the spirit soul and the body of each individual, from infancy to adulthood, teaching in class rooms, over television, radio, and by the printed page. A church where activities that promote fellowship and the maturing of relationships would encourage the desire of assembling together. A church that is so dependent on the Holy Spirit that nothing will stop it nor stand against it; a church whose people are unified, powerfully and continually praying with the full breath of God’s Spirit. I saw a church without the walls of denominational barriers where God’s banner over us is LOVE. I saw a church of born again, Spirit-filled believers who are bold to share their faith, being governed by the principles of God’s Word, leading a victorious life. I saw a Church declaring the message of the Kingdom, in thousands of locations around the world. Each a church of believers where the fruit of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and temperance are abundant. Churches that are truly committed to raising, training and empowering a new generation of leaders.
