Missional

Those who truly understand the power of the Gospel, and are transformed by it, cannot help but be moved outwardly by its conviction. The power of the Holy Spirit creates the missional momentum. It gravitates toward people who do not know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.

There is a huge difference between a church that does missions and a missional church. The Antioch church did not approach missions work as a project or program. Rather, it was their lifestyle and flowed naturally into their realities, resulting in congruity in how they lived both on the mission field and in their everyday lives.

A Gospel-centred church is a missional church that naturally stirs people to move outward. When we fail to move outwards, keeping the power of the Gospel within our own selves, we end up imploding internally. There are many families, church communities and organizations imploding internally because their focus is primarily on the internal matters of today. However, when we are able to shift our focus onto what God is doing beyond the walls of our family and church, we begin to experience the bigger purpose and power of God’s call in our lives and in our relationships. We as the church are called to live beyond ourselves for this reason. Students are called to study for a purpose beyond themselves. Professionals ought to pursue excellence beyond their own career goals.

God has blessed NHF as we continually move outwards by planting various campuses, partnering with other community churches and missions organizations, and mobilizing people who desire to live a missional life for God.
