On our November PFC missions trip to the Congo and Rwanda, our desire is leave behind Christ-centered, on-fire believers who truly understand the importance of their continuing decision to follow Christ and who will be involved in a local church.
We serve the local church as it wins souls for Christ and mentors new followers of Christ within the inmate population.
We focus squarely on five goals when we go to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda on November 2-13. These goals direct everything we do on a PFC missions trip. Everything we do is aimed at these five TIBET goals.
- TRAIN saints currently doing prison ministry.
- INTRODUCE the PFC umbrella and seek to raise up a missionary partner.
- BLESS saints with resources and prisons with humanitarian aid.
- EVANGELIZE inside the national prisons.
- TEACH the church how to recruit volunteers and to multiply in other churches.
The U. S. Navy has an elite team known as "SEALS." Their code challenges each of us as we serve the Lord Jesus wherever He places us every single day.
Navy Seals Code
"Loyalty to the King of Kings, His team and teammates,
Serve Him with integrity on and off the battlefield,
Ready to lead, ready to follow, NEVER QUIT,
Take responsibility for your actions and the actions of teammates,
Excel as warriors through discipline and innovation,
Train for war, fight to win, defeat our enemies,
Earn your crown every day."The Navy Seals actual philosophy begins as follows:
“In times of war or uncertainty there is a special breed of warrior ready to answer our Nation’s call; a common man with uncommon desire to succeed. Forged by adversity, he stands alongside America’s finest special operations forces to serve his country and the American people, and to protect their way of life. I am that man.”
All of this stands firmly with Paul's charge to Timothy:
Good Soldiers of Christ Jesus
You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
2 Timothy 2:1-2
2 Timothy 2:1-2
