This ministry calls anyone who desires to transform mediocre, passive into abundant life marked by excellence, fruitfulness and influence to building God's Kingdom. So many Christians are confined only to the "Christian world" and are contained by their relational, financial, physical and spiri- tual day-to-day struggles. A paradigm shift in your spiritual worldview will help you rise above the "of- the-world" existence and become the overcomers and conquerors that God has called you to be. God calls you out of the old into the land that He will show you (Gen. 12:1). God commands that we be trans- formed by the renewing of the mind (Rom.12:2) so that we can work in our anointed place of service in the Body of Christ and establish His Kingdom on earth. We meet Fridays, 7pm at the Faith Assembly of God Welcome Center. We have activities for the children simultaneous with the adult session. Worship, the Word, prayer and fellowship is the usual sequence of events.

As we study II Peter chapter 1, we will be challenged to, in the words of Steven Curtis Chapman, ..Believe the unbelievable, Receive the inconceivable, And see beyond your wildest imagination…Lord, we come with great expectations!!! The Book of – Room 522 Mark Todd True Leadership begins with a Servant’s Heart. Kingdom leaders are people who lead like . They are servant leaders because they follow Jesus, who “did not come to be served, but to serve” (Mark 10:45).

We all know the promise of blessing God speaks of in Malachi 3:10, but see how it foretells the coming of Christ, The calling of the Gentiles, the judgement of the wicked and reward of the just. We will move quickly through all four chapters leaving you with a full understanding of what God was saying and why He was quiet for the 400 years before Christ’s coming.
