VISION
“To raise a generation of disciple-makers,
with a PASSION for JESUS and
a heart of COMPASSION for the Lost“
MISSION
The Lord is calling us, the older generation,
to invest and sow into the new one so that
we can fulfil the Great Commission within our time,
in Mauritius and beyond.
-
Raise a Kingdom-minded generation, who know their Lord personally, and who will bring positive change to the island as they thrive into whom God is calling them to be and what he is calling them to do.
-
Create a strong Christian culture amongst the youth, where they will be empowered to be transformational agents where they are and meet other like-minded friends to be.
-
Infusing the DNA of disciple-makers and missionaries into this generation to go into every sphere of society in Mauritius and beyond.
Through Arise and Shine we hope to:
- To help the youth to connect with God through creative & dynamic sessions.
- To bring the youth of the same vision, heart and sphere of influence together.
- To connect the youth with role models in older generations, to be inspired & mentored by key people from different spheres of influence (Arts & entertainment, business, education, family, media, religion, politics).
- To connect the youth with NGO & Christian organizations, to be equipped for missions, evangelism and be involved in the community.
Our Belief
We believe in the local church and the role entrusted by God for her to rise and shine in this dark world.
We believe that God is calling us now to “raise up together, a generation of disciples with a passion for Jesus and a heart of compassion for the lost” and in doing so, help fulfil the Great Commission within our time, in Mauritius and beyond.
We believe in:
- The one true God who lives eternally in three persons – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit;
- The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world;
- The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God – fully trustworthy for faith and conduct;
- The dignity of all people, made male and female in God’s image to love, be holy and care for creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgement;
- The incarnation of God’s eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ – born of the virgin Mary; truly divine and truly human, yet without sin;
- The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating evil, so reconciling us with God;
- The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first fruits of our resurrection; his ascension to the Father, and his reign and mediation as the only Saviour of the world;
- The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ;
- The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness;
- The church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all believers — given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit’s gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel, promoting justice and love;
- The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfil the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth.
