insight
through the gospel, he did not intend that we simply get
involved by working in the church. His purpose was to put the
church to work in the world. The cell ministry seeks to fulfil the
Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), not just in the church
building, but through the cells at the point of their greatest
influence. Cells reach people where they are.
We equip our members to ‘take the giants’ for God. The giants
of our society are the great institutions and professions which
exercise the most influence ove r our lives. We hold regular
‘giants forums’ in which cell members from each of the major
professional or occupational groupings can get together to
encourage one another and to find ways of influencing their
environment. That way we are facilitating cells in every major
profession and section in society.
The giants of influence:
1 Business and Finance
2 Ecology and Environment
3 Education and Training
4 Law and Order
5 Marriage and Family
6 Media and Arts
7 Medicine and Health
8 Politics and Government
9 Religion and Belief
10 Science and Technology
11 Sport and Leisure
12 Thought and Philosophy.
As believers become active witnesses to the kingdom of God,
people are won to Christ, discipled, and begin to exercise a
godly influence over these giants. It is not just about having
Christians working in these sectors, but disciples influencing
their environment for Christ. We are aiming for the total
transformation of our society. That is exactly what the body of
Christ is called to do. ❖
