Agape International Ministries, Inc’s. mission is to Reach the Lost, Mature the Body, and Spread the Love of Jesus Christ. Our mission statement is based on the teachings of the Holy Scripture found in
1 Corinthians 13:13 “And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” (NKJV)
Our ministry vision is guided by four biblical core values based on the ministry of Jesus:
- Evangelism: To continue in the Great Commission which Jesus commands us: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things” (Matthew 28:19-20a).
- Edification: To build up and help believers grow in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ. “Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do”
(1 Thessalonians 5:11).
- Equipping: To prepare believers for the advancement of the Kingdom of God in biblical leadership as they minister in the local church and in the marketplace surrounding the church. “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;” (Ephesians 4:12-14).
- Encouragement: To provide a spirit-filled atmosphere where the power of God is at liberty to minister wholeness to the needs of the total person - spirit, soul, and body. “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor” (Luke 4:18, 19).
