We are asked, “What is our purpose?” The Truth is “To make disciples of all men. . .” We are told in Matthew 28:19 to “Go then to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples.” The premise is there is no discipleship without relationship. Our challenge is in relationship: to God and to one another which results in discipleship. To accomplish our purpose beginning this quarter, September, October, and November, I am encouraged to introduce Connecting Points.

Connecting is the derivative of con which means together, necto which means to bind, and ing which is a suffix that expresses continuation. So our purpose, in other words, is to bind together continuously for the purpose of “making disciples of all men.” This means that each of you is released into the community to disciple and to be discipled quite naturally as you connect with people with God and each other.

Two of the exciting elements of Connecting Points are familiarity and passion. The Lord has given each of us gifts and talents. As a result we each have a passion for something different. But in that difference we find familiarity. Look around you in your church community and in your neighborhoods for those who share your passion with you. Come together and experience the joy the Lord expects us to have through ministering to each other and at the same time reaching out to those who have not been introduced to Him.

Now, take a walk through this section of our website and discover the possibilities to enlarge your territories. Become ministers to all peoples. Also, I challenge you to create a Connecting Point where you will minister to a group next quarter. Remember “Go then to all peoples everywhere and make them My disciples.” Matthew 28:19.
