Sometimes we must remind ourselves of the key elements of what we’re doing and why we’re doing it. That applies to our priorities, our schedules, our checkbooks, our relationships, and our life goals.
Within the arena of Reaching Souls International we must always keep in mind the key elements of the following acrostic for A F R I C A:
A All glory goes to God for what is accomplished: this is His ministry, and we are His servants.
F Far-reaching into other nations of Africa and to other parts of the world (India, Cuba), as God directs and opens the doors to the people and places of His choosing
R Results are given only by God’s Spirit as He moves in the lives of those who hear and read the Truth of the Gospel.
I I must decrease while Christ must increase. My (our) role is to proclaim (and help others proclaim) the message of Jesus Christ and not to focus on “me” or “us.”
C Churches that are planted must be evangelical, based upon God’s written and proclaimed Word, and effectively “grown” through biblical methods.
A Accountability is essential: first, to God; then to our shareholders (those who support through prayer, finances, and time); and between our African pastors and our U.S. staff.
