mision statement-ministry
okay, here it is!!! I am not sure if this is the final draft but I need to start writing the ideas down...
My name is Beatriz Gasca Yáñez
I have been create to honor God.
Yes, I want to serve God, but honoring Him goes way beyond that.
I want my every move, my every breath to be a delight unto Him.
For this and for ministry I need a new heart.
This is my present priority. We are working real hard at it. (God and I)
God is God.
I believe in the Holy Trinity.
I believe Jesus on earth was God incarnated.
I believe He was risen from the dead and is now sitting on the right side of God the Father.
I believe that through His sacrifice on the cross one can find forgiveness of sin and redemption.
I believe God is God, and I am not.
I am a mother of three boys.
For now my ministry to them is directly related with how near I can draw to God.
The closer I get to God, the bigger chance they have for safety, a real life, and eternity near God.
So even if we are separated by distance...I am still working in my ministry as a mom.
I have my oldest son near me, and we are doing steady progress in our relationship.
I have a call to serve God.
I believe that I must give fresh water to my disciples, so I must have a deep and constant realtionship with God.
In order to carry out this task God has equipped me in an amazing way.
Because I had not accepted His full call over my life some areas are still very weak and in need to be trained.
I am a pastor, a prophet, a teacher, an evangelist and an intercessor.
I have the gift of encouragement, of healing, of speaking in tounges and discerning spirits.
The fact that I have several ministries explains my extremely different and varied reactions.
At one moment I can be extremely tender- like a pastor with a wounded lamb
another I can be extremely harsh and violent- the prophet who sees the danger beyond
most of my conversations will include a: God has been teaching me on the topic of ...
most always I will point to the cross- in teaching, exhortations or worship, the cross is the
center of all.
and it seems odd to me to end a visit without praying.
I believe that I am called to draw people near God, to show them the way to get close to Him, and to be His voice when He is calling them to draw near.
As I look back and decide what changes I should make as I minister I find two basic changes:
One is to ask people who I feel are thirsty for God if they want me to help them along the road.
before I would never ask directly (foolishness)
The other is that I am being blunt and clear. I no longer am afraid to announce that God gave all to draw near us and thus expects us to give all in order to draw near him.
I used to encourage people to draw near God, but never told them of the
high expectations God has. This produced very weak disciples. I have decided to change
in this area. I am going to be very blunt, and speak against sin with a clear high voice.
Apart from that I think I will continue to minister the same.
A friendship based relationship.
I will say what I have in my mind, I will not lie.
I do NOT believe that pastoring people means directing their every step. I will point out changes in their lifestyles needed, as God instructs me to do so. BUT I have often seen pastors taking control over people's lives. I believe it is my rol to help people find their way to draw near to God. Nothing more. It is true that as you do this people will often ask "what should I do?" BUT I really am aware that I cannot control people. THAT IS NOT MY JOB.
I basically am called to make God known.
I will make Him known.
The people I lead must understand that knowing God will affect their lives.
Which is one of the objectives of the cross: abundant life.
Yet it is important to make it clear that abundant life is not the same as "walt disney" life.
I have dared to go farther with God than most people I know, and continue to move on.
Every thing I have learned is now my duty to share.
If there are brave people who want to go that far in God, I am willing to lead them on...in hope that one day they will go beyond the place I reach by the end of my days.
I believe the Bible is the text book to be used in discipleship.
I believe that if people get an active communication going on with God, I become irrelevant.
Because they can continue their walk alone with God by their side.
I do not want people to become dependant of me, I want them to become dependant of God.
I believe that those who are called to serve God need somebody that understands their ministry near by.
I believe that they need somebody who trustes that which God has already done in them and encourages them to take definite and wise steps toward ministry.
I believe that many are called but few are chosen. We are all called into salvation and into ministry. But unless we accept to be trainned and prepared we will not be chosen to minister. I believe there is a huge revival being prepared and those who are understanding God's guidance are getting prepared and thus will be chosen to partake with God in one of the most awesome times of human history.
Having stated all of these I begin to understand why I am having problems in finding a pastor and a church. Please pray.
I need a church that understands my ministry and that trustes what God has already done in me. And supports me.
I need a pastor who challenges me to go beyond the place I am in with God- and is aware that such a life will eventually bring challenges and changes into his congregation.
I have a lot to give, but I know that I will give fully only when I am under the covering of a congregation, in order and unity with the body of Christ.
May God guide us all as we take the decisions that are now needed.
