Lanterns Mission Statement

The Lanterns mission is to prepare people
for Jesus’ glorious return.

 

The most important aspects of this preparation are...

• To bring people (especially the poor and destitute and desperate for God) into a strong, loving and joyful faith in Jesus – as their lord and saviour, as their soon and coming king, as their true love, and as the willing giver of all goodness and mercy.

 

• To introduce people into a personal and daily experience of Jesus' wonderful love – both in their relationship with him, and through their experience with us.

 

• To cultivate daily growth in people's love for God and each other – in both heart and practice.

 

• To encourage people to live God's way – especially in love, holiness, humility and purity of heart.

 

• To help people to receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.

 

• To minister the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit (as appropriate) for the wholeness and growth of each person.

 

• To help people realise – and encourage them to fulfil – their God-given destiny.

 

• To impart a good understanding of Jesus' soon return.
