CRC Churches (Australia) was originally birthed in 1945 through the late Pastor Leo Harris. A man ablaze with a God-given vision to impact the nations, Pastor Leo understood the words ‘vision, mandate and authority’. Historical roots are important. Methods and manner must change. Original mandate remains.
To fulfil our destiny in God’s kingdom plans and purposes, it’s important to identify what is imbedded in our movement, and therefore the DNA of our local churches. Can we dare to believe that we really are ‘creating churches and changing worlds?’
Our vision is both divine and simple:
It is our conviction that the CRC has been raised up by God to present the full gospel with fervour and conviction, to teach the full deliverance of men and women from all the works of the devil, or, in other words, to completely obey and practice the Great Commission given by Jesus Christ as recorded in Mark 16:15-18. 1
In the vein of this mandate, we extended our CRC family into the Philippines. ‘Kingdom family’ crosses all cultural and geographical boundaries. God’s redemptive plan for all nations is the crimson thread throughout Scripture. The book of Revelation gives us a glimpse of ‘kingdom family’ through the eyes of John the Apostle. What did John see? (Revelation 5:6-10).
People, purchased men FOR God, from every tribe, language and nation.
‘Kingdom family’ is divinely designed and strengthened by friendship, investment and prayer. As we stand with our Filipino family, we move in our mandate, maintain the momentum and share in this exciting journey of ‘God’s kingdom come on this earth’.
