GLOBAL HARVEST STATEMENTS AND VALUES

Global Harvest is the mission’s arm of ACOP and will be your main point of connection. The driving statement behind Global Harvest is: “We envision the good news of Jesus Christ being spread throughout the world by making disciples of all nations. We intend to achieve this vision by giving priority to reaching those who have little or no access to the gospel with the belief that they will inevitably become disciples who will reach out and make more disciples.” What excites you about this statement? How is this statement applicable in the mission you are embarking upon? *

Which of these statements stand out to you the most? *

The pre-eminence of Jesus: Jesus is the ultimate source, authority, and model for all matters of faith, life, and practice.

Loving People: We love people from every tribe, language, and nation because each person is created in the image of God.

The fullness of the Spirit: The Holy Spirit guides, directs, fills and empowers those who yield to Him.

Discipleship: Discipleship that produces dedicated followers of Jesus, who are willing to obey Him regardless of the cost. The true product of discipleship is another disciple maker.

Missional Engagement: We are called and commissioned to fulfill the mission of God, both individually and corporately.

Grace: Grace saves, keeps, and enables by the divine presence of God.
