  1. Enlighten and empower them with the Word of God. We exist to reach, teach, and equip people to become true followers of Jesus Christ.
  2. Enable them to bring out the light in and around their sphere of influence. We strive to reach the unreached and the marginalized communities with the love of Christ.
  3. Equip the ministers and the people to live a Christ-like life to influence the next generation. Also, to go into the nations of the world to spread the Word of life and to bring communities out of darkness to the light of the Gospel.
