What’s Inside
A New Day
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal,
and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that
they might have life, and that they might
have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)

What is Mission?
What is Purpose
That thing that is the reason for
you being.
To take the Gospel to the world
through worshipping God,
through teaching the Word of God,
and through developing ministries
that will have a ‘life changing’
impact on people’s lives.
The Purpose of LCM
What is Vision
Is what passionately desire to
achieve? It produces passion,
pursuit, and purpose.
Vision: the capacity to create a compelling picture of the
desired state of affairs that inspires people to respond; that
which is desirable, which could be, should be; that which is
attainable. A godly vision is right for the times, right for the
church, and right for the people. A godly vision promotes faith
rather than fear. A godly vision motivates people to action. A
godly vision requires risk-taking. A godly vision glorifies God,
not people.
Bob Logan
The Lord has called us to
establish His Kingdom upon
the earth, spiritually and
naturally, by revealing the
Life Changing power of God
in our nation and in the
nations of the earth.
The Vision of LCM
What is Mission?
Why you exist? Your daily
mandates, habits, and routines
reveal your mission.
To lead people into a
relationship with The
Lord Jesus Christ.

Order produces favor.
What is meant by Apostolic? – They are pioneers
who produce “Kingdom Building” strategies, not
just for a church, but for a region, a city, and for
nations.
What is government? – Government is defined as
the particular group of people, who control a
(nation-)state at a given time, and the manner in
which their governing organizations are structured.
That is, governments are the means through which
power is employed and deployed.
Apostolic Government
The Antioch church is a model apostolic church.
 The Antioch Church equipped, anointed, and sent out
leaders by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
 From Antioch God initiated apostolic endeavors that
resulted in the planting of strategic churches.
 The churches of Corinth, Philippi, Colossi, Ephesus and
Thessalonica were all formed as a result of the outreach
from the church at Antioch.
 The church at Antioch represents a governing territorial
apostolic church.
 It represents a church that has a burden for nations and
is focused on fulfilling the Great commission.
(Acts 13-15)

Your role, and your position

Share the ‘Good News’, the Gospel of Jesus Christ

“For God so loved the World that he gave His only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life” John 3:16


Everlasting Life - God’s life or eternal life (life that is full and complete)
Connect to the vision of your church


The number 1 problem with most churches is that members believe
the church should line up with their vision, instead of connecting to
the vision of the church
Pray for the vision of the Pastors, their marriage, their finances, their
health

Whatever you release in the life of a man of God – God will release in
your life (1 Kings 17; Matthew 10:41,42)

Financially support your church, and its purpose



The release of your treasure or your money reveals where your heart
is…(Matthew 6:21) I love my church and my Pastors – “show it”
Giving releases favor and opportunity in your life…(Philippians 4:19; I
Kings 3:4,5)
 Solomon gave a $100,000.00 offering, at Gibeah it activated his destiny,
unfathomable wisdom, and immeasurable favor
Find areas of service to the vision and occupy it (or work it)
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them,
Occupy till I come. Luke 19:13
Occupy means:
1. to be occupied in anything
2. to carry on a business
3. to carry on the business of a banker or a trader
 We serve God through men…
 Every leader, member, and covenant partner should find an area of service
(i.e. cleaning, evangelism, feeding the homeless, serving the elderly, sick and
visitation, prison, etc.)

Your fulfillment will always be in the place of your service to God.
Jesus said to him, "Whoever starts to plow and looks back is not fit
for the kingdom of God.“ Luke 9:62
