One thing that is abundantly clear when you look through scripture is this: God is into growth! Look at the words in Isaiah 9:7, ‘of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end’. Now consider the extraordinary expansion that we see in the first few chapters of Acts. Throughout both Old and New Testament we see God seeking to gather a growing company of people that will bring glory to His name.

At Open Door, over the past years, we have seen God grow our vision larger and larger. Now, as we look to 2008, we see God leading us into an exciting period in the life this Church. In December 07 Sam Poe, who is a senior leader in the Newfrontiers family of churches, prophesied to Open Door. This prophecy has shaped our vision for 2008 as summarised in the following six headings.

Vision 2008

..» 1. An increase in the Spirits power - the ‘body’ released in signs and wonders

  » 2. Numerical growth impacting Sundays and affecting all ages

..» 3. Multiplication in cells and neighbourhoods

..» 4. Everyone needing to be involved

..» 5. Reaching out and touching other nations; Zimbabwe being particularly significant.

..» 6. Reaching out and serving the nations in our town – Open Door becoming increasingly multicultural!
