Two Rivers Ministries

For Individuals
• To declare to those who don’t yet know Jesus and His goodness, mercy and forgiveness, that they may meet Him and begin their journey of faith and destiny as a child of God (Matt. 28:19-20)
• To call believers to return to their first love, Jesus Christ, and thereby to renewed intimacy, a passionate heart and a fiery spirit so that Jesus is a reality for them rather than simply a religious concept (Rev. 2:4)
• To challenge believers to turn from the world system, to throw off a spirit of unbelief, complacency and relativism, and to change their mindset a Western worldview to a Biblical worldview. (Rom. 12:2)
• To encourage individuals to be reconnected in covenant relationship first with God, then with each other, and also with the broader community they are living in (Jer 29:7; Hos 6:1-3; Joel 2:13-19).
• To stir faith and vision in the hearts of believers to prepare them for mighty exploits, to consider God’s ways, and be obedient to His Word (Heb 11)
 

For The Church
• To call the corporate church to realize her spiritual identity as the bride of Jesus and to partner with Him in working out the expression of His Kingdom in the city (Matt 16:18-19; Acts 19:1-20; 2 Cor 11:2; Rev 19:7-8; 22:17).
• To model and contend for unity by working as a team both internally within our own ministry and with the people and ministries in the cities where we serve and submit to one another (Eph 4:3; 5:21).
• To gather born again leaders from various segments of the community to build a dwelling place for the Lord in a tangible way that facilitates the expression and function of the priesthood of believers in both its vertical and horizontal dimension. (Eph. 2:19-22)
• To change the predominantly Western world-view that has infiltrated the church, including nationalism (versus the Kingdom of God), relativism (versus Biblical absolutes), materialistic values (versus spiritual reality), and a theology of resignation (versus a theology of spiritual revolution) (Matt. 5-7).
• To challenge current methodology and motivation of man-centered vision and agenda to Kingdom focused ministry - that Jesus and His presence become our highest objective and standard of measurement of success and effectiveness (Matt. 6:10)
• To restore vertical agreement between heaven and the earth through restored intimacy between Jesus and His Church so that ministry flows out of that relationship (John 15: 5-6)
• To release the corporate expression of the church with its’ unique convergence of people, callings, gifting and purposes so that the Kingdom may be expressed, that Jesus would be glorified and draw the lost unto Him (John 17)

For The City
• To help our community become attractive to the presence of God and His life-changing love and power (2 Chron.7:15)
• To enthrone Jesus in our community so that His Lordship and Kingdom manifest through His Church in every sphere of society, the marketplace, education, arts and entertainment, police department, city hall and local government, etc.(Acts 19:1-27).
• To build the House of the Lord in our community, that through a unified, praying Church, the nature of Jesus would be reflected and His glory would be revealed (John 17)
• To envision the corporate church to discover dwelling together in unity as a lifestyle rather than a special event so that the city can see and experience the reality of Jesus being manifest in His church. (Eph. 4:13)
• To establish night and day prayer and worship in the city so that the incense of the prayers of the saints rises to heaven and causes a protective canopy to cover the community, causing it to become a city of refuge for those who live there (Luke 18:7-8)
• To inspire the church to believe God for revival in the context of God’s end-time redemptive purposes and to cry out for revival as a catalyst to restore God’s presence and transformation as a goal of His habitation among His people (2 Chron 7:14-15; Isa 61:1-62:5; 66:1-2; Jer 33:3, 9; Ezk 43:1-5; Eph 3:16-21).
• To displace the usurper, the devil, and his kingdom of darkness from the community as the Kingdom of God is established by a strong, free, vibrant, unified and victorious Church (Acts 19:1-20).
• To complete the revolution Jesus started through the restoration and transformation of people, the Church and entire communities (Isa 35; Hab 2:14; 3:1-4; Hag 2:6-9; Rev 11:15)
