A Church without a vision will surely perish, and my prayer is that you will catch, support and work faithfully to fulfill the vision that the Lord has given me as Pastor of Greater Missionary Baptist Church. The first and foremost part of the vision is to fulfill the Great Commission as recorded in Matthew 28:18-20 and in Acts 1:8. The vision is for us:
- To exalt the name of Jesus at all times
- To equip the saints for ministry
- To create ministries that will meet both the spiritual and physical needs of the family, the Church and the community
- To strive for total membership involvement in worship services, Sunday School, Bible Studies and Tithes and Offerings, and other ministries in the Church
- To financially support this church through Tithes and Offerings
- To establish a five-to-six million dollar annual budget for the Church
- To complete Phase III of our building program within a year and a half
- To purchase at least 10+ more acres of land for the building of a Family Life Center and a new 3,500 seating capacity worship center
- To have a locally, state-wide and nationally televised program
- To start at least 3 home mission churches and 2 foreign mission churches
- To build a foreign mission school
- To establish a child development center and a senior-citizens daycare center
- To have no less than 75 full-time staff members
- To establish a scholarship fund for all graduating seniors
- To provide shelter, food, clothing and counseling for the homeless, the substance abuser, the abused spouse and pregnant teens
- To establish a summer youth work program and establish a job placement program for adults.
Let us remember that the Lord rewards faithfulness, and if we remain faithful to the vision, no good thing will the Lord withhold from us. My prayer is that through hard work and dedication, this vision will become a reality within the next fifteen (15) years. The Vision has been given; let us make it happen in Jesus Name, for we know that with God all things are possible.
