Our vision
Since day one, we’ve been desperate to see every young person and community changed by Jesus. As God continues to open doors for The Message, he’s given us our biggest vision ever!
As we continued praying and rolling out this vision Revelation 3:8 spoke to us…
‘See, I have placed before you an open door that no-one can shut.’
Over the past few years, even more opportunities have opened up to share Jesus. In schools we launched the No More Knives tour, through Community Groceries we began feeding our neighbours in need and with Eden we saw new teams of missionaries committing to live on estates long-term. It really was more than we could ask or imagine but God had more in store!
As we prayed about what could be next, God gave us a vision for the next three years (2025-2027) to see tens of thousands of lives impacted by the gospel. Now as we reach the half-way point, we already have so much to celebrate and give thanks for.
