TRUTH

    • • Reading the Bible at least 10 minutes every day.

    • • Continuing in the corporate weekly enjoyment of the HWMR.
    • • Attending live or virtual ministry conferences.

• • Start a Ministry Service Group to help saints practically get into the ministry.

• • Be partnered with one or two companions for mutual encouragement and accountability.

• • Make a practical plan to read the ministry. Determine your personal goal and how to work it out according to your schedule and capacity.

LIFE

 

• • Maintain the healthy life practices of being revived every morning, persevering in prayer, reading the Bible alongside the ministry, and endeavoring to experience the Lord in our daily life.

• • Advance in the practice of church prayer, personally and corporately, by endeavoring to enter into the spiritual warfare as the church praying the prayers of authority.

GOSPEL

 

• • Gain 10 saved and 5 baptized.

• • Be perfected to follow up in our shepherding, feeding, and raising up the younger believers; make a practical plan to have a partner and go out to visit or receive visitation at least one night per week.

• • Hold 3 gospel meetings this year; have more fellowship about other enterprising ways for gospel outreach (e.g., neighborhood children’s meetings, more involvement between campus labor and community saints, etc.).

SERVICE
