BE SENT from an Empowering Community
Each of us has the mandate to go make disciples, but we recognize Jesus gave that commission to a group of disciples. Empowering Communities understand the call for each disciple is different and seeks to send out each person according to their unique gifts (Eph 2:10 & Rom 11:29).
The empowering community seeks to launch every disciple into their specific Kingdom work. These communities are not “works” driven; the motivation is to know Christ, each other, and how God made and gifted us; and then be sent on diverse missions as He shows us. This may be to assist the community, reach out to the world as a witness, or to serve a different portion of the Church.
