There was a time so long ago, when by Christianity, it was understood to mean proclaiming the Gospel. The Old Rugged Cross was then, the ‘emblem of suffering and shame.’ It was a new dawn for humanity,” For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” In those days, the Church understood very clearly its supreme, monumental task.-Preaching the Word to the World! Beginning at Jerusalem, they took the glad tidings and the Good News of salvation to the far flung corners of the entire Greco-Roman world.

What idea inspired the First Christians, what ideal captured the imagination of the First Church, what was it that so drove Peter and John? What made Paul fight beasts at Ephesus?

Today, the Church is richer than the Laodiceans. We have everything the primitive church never had. Airbus A380 super jumbo jets, mega churches with millions if not billions of dollars worth of assets, investments in stocks and real estate. We have bible schools and Christian universities, mega-super ministries and publishing houses, just to name a few!

Are we so rich, yet perhaps so poor?

Life is Sacred. Its origin, though still contested by scientific, rationalist and materialist philosophy, must surely have its source and belong somewhere with the stars and galaxies of creation. It is incomprehensible that humanity is of the same pedigree as matter, stone, reptiles and creeping things. What have we to do with monkeys and baboons?

Like the name, so is the ministry. Like the Early Christians, we carry the flame of World Evangelisation, Proclamation and Miracle proof of a Risen Christ, Alive, The Same Yesterday And Today And Forever - Continuing His Life and Ministry through us - Ministering Love in a Hurting World.
