Africa Revival's Values
Above all, we value an ongoing, growing, personal, loving
relationship with Jesus Christ; We value the Bible as the
Word of God, our final authority of faith and practice; We
value a move of God initiated and sustained in as many
geographic areas as possible; We value Christlike
leadership characterized by humility, brokenness, a
servant's spirit and evidenced by transparency,
openness and vulnerability; We value the unity (not the
uniformity) and health of the whole body of Christ;
We value the ministry of local pastors and congregations;
We value all members of the body of Christ regardless of
their culture, class, race, gender, generation or spiritual
gifting. We value the importance of repentance and
reconciliation being evident among church leaders and
the entire body of Christ; We value relationships which
transcend organizational structure; We value remaining
totally submissive to the Holy Spirit at all times and in all
decision making, respecting at all times the uniqueness
and validity of what God is doing from place to place,
culture to culture and people to people; We value giving
God all the glory with no self-promotion or self-seeking;
We value a long-term sustainable movement over isolated
events; We value healthy relationships with other ministries
who are seeking to see a greater move of God initiated
and sustained; We value the relational nature of prayer (with
whom, for whom and to whom we pray) not only the
functional nature of prayer; We value the identification,
establishment and development of a local leadership team
to carry the responsibilities of stewarding the vision and
shepherding the prayer movement in a local community;
We value personal and corporate renewal (revival)
evangelism and ultimately... the transformation of society.
