About Bridge the Light
About
We hope to introduce you to another arm of God's intervention to bring good to people and to link them in common fellowship and purpose in Christ's Love.
Our Mission
We are a ministry-vision born of a heart to be radically obedient to the One, "Who has called us out of darkness, into His marvelous light".
As the Body of Jesus Christ, we are enjoined to be "in the world, but not of the world." We are both set apart from the spiritual depredations of a faithless age, and we are the inheritors of that age, whose constituency is in great measure, yet to be reached, and yet even to be born.
We Believe
"He is the light that lights every man that comes into the world."
"The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness comprehends it not," but that, "He gives to as many as receive Him, the power to become the sons of God, even as many as believe on His Name."
He knows no boundaries of human limitation and will therefore faithfully enable His people to bridge the light of His Truth.
The work of salvation in human life is accomplished in the unique work of God Who sent His own Son Jesus to die on the cross, to permit that, "whosoever believes in Him will have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
Three In One: The Father Who sends the Holy Spirit of Truth into the World today to testify of Jesus His Unique Son, The Savior of everyone who puts their trust in Him.
Jesus, the Messiah of the world, the Son of the Living God Who is come in the flesh and Who takes away the sin of the world. He is the One Who died for all, that all may know the love of God for them, and live.
In the effectual work of redemption from the futility of separation from God because of sin and the sin nature, by the Blood of Jesus Christ. He is Who testifies of the Father Who sent Him, and Who reveals the Nature of God.
Bridge The Light International Intercessory Prayer Ministry
Ministry Position
1) Bridge The Light is a sovereign ministry, formed independent of any specific church or denomination. This concept is indeed a "hub" in itself, out of which may come "spokes" as the Lord may direct in its growth. Our purpose in part may be to birth a "Local Church" out of our distinctly focused intercessory prayer ministry. If the decision is made to plant a local congregational fellowship, it will be as “fruit” and will serve the body amid existing local Christian ministries.
2) We need "like minded believers" with the ability to understand and embrace fully the vision God has given us for the transformation of His Bride. We have already found a number of such compatibly sound-minded, spiritually mature individuals to minister with us.. Likewise, with many established international ministries and churches, Bridge The Light is being built with Wisdom and Favor the Lord continues to provide. Frankly, this embryonic process is of necessity, selective.
3) The issue of "authority" in the church has historically been an important topic. In the ministry purpose God has given us, we seek to ally ourselves with spiritually sound leaders in order to indeed "submit" to their better judgment in the case of our lack of experience. Such individuals however must be well known to us, and implicitly trustworthy. We are in fact seeking submission to Godly alliance, not to a mere adherence to "hierarchies". It is enough for us to know that we have a commission already given to us from the Lord. We do not derive the meaning of that commission or its assignment from human authority. As such we are continually aware that our answerability is from the One who has given us the authority to act on these plans. Finally, it is by our “fruits” that we will be known.
4) There is a need to be very frank about compatibility issues. We cannot permit anyone who is literally directly involved with this ministry on a daily basis, to hold the “seeds” of their own “kingdom-building”, or an entitlement to "personal baggage" issues. The very nature of what we are about begins with our experience of RADICAL REPENTANCE to seek the face of God. Anyone who is with us will find their “religious flesh” exposed continually. We cannot afford to have it otherwise…the stakes are too high. No compromise, only Holy. We emphasize that this has been hard won by our own personal experience of many years in Christ.
