About Christian Testmimony Ministry

This one phrase from 2 Thessalonians 3:1 expresses both the mission of Christian Testimony Ministry. As the verse begins, the Apostle Paul requested, “For the rest, brethren, pray for us”, and he followed with that phrase that is stated above. This was to be the substance of the prayers of the saints for the ministry of Paul. Likewise, we request the same from the Lord’s people as we endeavor to bring the Lord’s Word to them. We believe the times we live in are like the days of Samuel, as stated in 1 Samuel 3:1, “and the word of Jehovah was rare in those days: a vision was not frequent”. In the Christian realm there is much spoken, but in many ways the word of the Lord is rare. What is spoken doesn’t produce real vsion of the Lord and His purpose. Our burden is that the rare word of the Lord would be given in all its glory and our desire is that the word given will result in increased vision of the Lord and His great purpose.

From Hebrews 1:1 we read, “God having spoken in many parts and in many ways formerly to the fathers in the prophets, at the end of these days has spoken to us in the person of the Son”. God’s final speaking and the emphasis of the ministry is the beloved son. He is the message and all the ministries we share are to focus first and foremost upon the Lord Himself. Our burden is as stated in Colossians 1:18, “that in all things He might have the preeminence”.

God is a God of purpose and all He does is with that purpose in view. In Ephesians 1:9-10 we read that the end of God’ purpose, “which he purposed in Himself”, is to “head up(sum up) all things in Christ”. Christ Himself is to be the sum of all spiritual things. This is the purpose of God and the purpose of the ministry. We also read in Ephesians 3:10-11 that it is through the church that “might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord”. This great purpose includes Christ and His Church. It is our mission that all the messages we make available are to further the eternal purpose of God by giving our Lord Jesus that central place and build up His Church. This present focus will be our aim to the end until according to Ephesians 5:27, “that He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish”.

Included in our mission is this emphasis according as God has given gifts to His church as we read in Ephesians 4:12, “For the perfecting of the saints; with a view to the work of the ministry, with a view to the edifying of the body of Christ”. All our labor is with this in view. We offer all these messages and books from His gifts to His church for this work, “until we all arrive at the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, at the full-grown man, at the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ”. If this ministry can in any way focus upon these things, our mission will be accomplished and our labor will not be in vain.
