Our Project Goals for 2010

The following are Project Goals of the Living Rock Church of Iloilo City, Philippines

1. Project FullHouse - this is a church-wide project that will attempt, by all means available, to complete the families in our church. We have members who are mothers or wives but their husbands and/or children don't go to church with them. We will reach out to their unchurched family members and bring them into the community of faith where they will be nurtured in the ways and things of the Lord. God's heart is for the family and He wants families to be complete. It was Joshua who said, "As for me and my HOUSEHOLD, we will serve the Lord." (Joshua 24:15) Church is not for individuals only -- church is especially for families.

2. Project Church Plant - God has called every church to be a church-planting church. In this regard our main church will, under the grace of God, plant a new church this year. We are currently praying for the specific location that God will lead us toward. There is a chance that the church we will be planting will be located in Buenavista, Guimaras.

3. Project Antioch - In the Book of Acts the first church was in Jerusalem. From there the church grew in all directions. Apostles and disciples went everywhere preaching the Gospel and started new churches. The church in Antioch (Syria) was a daughter church of the Church in Jerusalem. If you read the Scriptures you will find out that Antioch became a church planting center. From Antioch a lot of churches were planted all over the Roman Empire of the first century AD. In relation to this, we have encouraged our three daughter churches (Maasin, Amparo, and Guimaras) to plant their own daughter church.

4. Project Lazarus - In the Gospel of Luke a man named Lazarus,a close friend of Jesus, died and was buried. When Jesus came to Bethany He resurrected Lazarus from the dead. Project Lazarus, therefore, is an attempt by our church to revive, resurrect, or restore individuals, departments, and outreach churches that have become inactive.

5. Project Church Lot - the lot upon which our church building is currently standing does not belong to us (yet). We are only given a limited span of time to use the said lot. However, the owners, who are both Christians also, have agreed to give us the lot in exchange for a lot we can purchase adjacent to the lot we are currently using. This project will endeavor to determine which lot we can purchase and raise the appropriate funds to acquire said lot.

Please help us pray that we can realize all these projects this year. Thank you very much. God bless you!
