The Vision of CMRC, Inc.
The vision for CMRC is to plant fifty churches in the next 10 years. This vision is in obedience to the command in Scripture to tell the people everywhere about Jesus. Our sphere of influence should begin at our “Jerusalem” which is our local community and then extend to our “Judea” which would be defined as our surrounding communities which are of like culture. Eventually we are to move to our “Samaria”, which is people of different culture which live in our local communities, and then to the world.
“But when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you will receive power and will tell people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8.
The vision is to accomplish this task of planting 50 churches in 10 years by first establishing four “Flagship” churches that have a vision to plant churches which can plant churches. Each one of these churches would be intimately connected with CMRC as their resource arm.
The following criteria and vision would apply for all flagship entities:
Embrace the vision of a church planting church.
Train the lay people to be disciples who can make disciples. Plant the next church when the previous church has leaders established.
Identify unreached villages and towns.
Pray for wisdom, guidance as you survey the town
Keep CMRC informed of new evangelists and new churches being considered.
Seek the blessing from the “man of peace,” which is generally the village chief.
Go only when invited to go by the village chief.
