5.4 ACOP’s Future
-
I am very open to where the Lord will lead, however I do see myself becoming involved with the development and deployment of leaders – starting with myself! I also feel drawn to focused disciple making and Holy Spirit empowerment and will continue to develop personally in those areas as I also look to help others. I could see myself pastoring a traditional church, but I am also very excited about the NewChurch model that the ACOP is developing – I could see myself being involved in both.

I see myself participating in the revitalization of ACOP Churches in Canada and to help raise up a new generation of leaders within the ACOP. As I work with youth in my local church and in Street Invaders I believe I am called to help champion on that generation and to champion on the churches they are a part of in the ACOP.

As I write this I am looking forward to likely becoming a global worker, helping with many of these initiatives in an overseas context. I also feel called back to Canada in the Western provinces and I would love to be a part of the churches and the church growth happening here!

considering ACOP’s “God-sized faith goal” of 200 partner churches in Canada and 2500 globally by 2030, I can see myself fitting quite easily into this plan. Although I currently do not possess a desire to do long-term missions to work globally within ACOP, I do feel the urgent need in our own country even to make disciples. as part of a new generation of young Christian leaders in our country, I can do my part to share the Gospel with those who are even younger than me, creating more leaders to go out into our own country and around the world. In my own personal ministry, I think I can say my own “God-sized goal” is to see communities changed and on fire for Jesus. I want the character of Jesus to pervade everyday life and for people who have been hurt by the church to tangibly see the testimony of believers actively pouring out of their lives. I want to see the hardened hearts of Canada wooed back to the amazing and awesome love of Jesus, that they just can’t resist falling in love with him.
