As a local church we believe that within churches there can be a building of a more Trans-local ministry and vision, while still meeting the needs of the people.
We believe that the local church can be more than just churches that focus on church life and family, which is good and right, but each local church can facilitate a more Trans-local vision, and still Pastor the people while plugging into the bigger picture.
Life in the Nations Apostolic Centre is overseen by Senior Pastor Martin and Associate Pastor Gaynor Rees. Both Martin and Gaynor are known for their cutting edge Prophetic ministry and Apostolic breakthrough anointing.
Ministering in churches, seminars and crusades they have the ability to release strategies to the body of Christ that promotes discipline, endurance, deliverance, healing, teaching and church planting by signs and wonders following the word of God.
The Lord has given to us a vision of believers coming to the centre to be trained and equipped for mission. Part of the training will be to help to understand what an Apostolic calling is:
The word Apostolic means (one being sent) Messenger or envoy.
Acts 13 v 1-4 “ Now separate to me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them, then having fasted and prayed and laid hands on them, they sent them away ”.
Jesus said “ Go into all the world and preach the gospel ”, Jesus is commissioning to us to go and to be thrust out into the nations with a passion for saving souls.
We believe in Life in the Nations, that relationships with local Trans-local churches are very important. A family of congregations and ministries voluntarily united for the purpose of fulfilling the Apostolic call; together we are a team.
There is a divinely inspired motivation amongst Pastors and leaders to be part of something greater than themselves, being interdependent and part of the larger team affecting great change in the earth. We recognize we all have need to help our fellow brothers and sisters and that we are all “living stones being built together as a Holy temple”. There is a fresh wind, we believe amongst the people of God to see that all of God’s purposes be manifested on the earth.
