The South Africa School of Ministry and Missions Core Values and Priorities
- God-centered over man-centered efforts and perspective. Jesus is the focus of all we do and are
- Prayer and extravagant Worship of God is foundational to all life and ministry
- Kingdom focus above local church focus
- A strong commitment to the local church, understanding that God is using various “wineskins” or Church structures in these days.
- Non-negotiable “agape” love relationships above ministry function or vision
- Priesthood of all believers in ministering into their spheres of influence
- Servant leadership is the only healthy biblical model, as demonstrated by Jesus.
- Character and integrity have priority over talents, gifts or power.
- Unity without compromising truth
- Healthy fathering-parenting-mentoring as the model for discipleship
- Authentic power of the Holy Spirit above religious traditions
- Personal transformation through Christ is not just a decision, but involves the radical re-orientation of the entire life; head, heart, hands and world-view.
- Transformational power of the true Gospel changes families, communities, cities, and nations.
- Commitment to go to unreached people and people groups with the Gospel.
- Generational transfer. We honor the elders and seek out their wisdom. We strive to impact the next generation, that they far exceed the previous generation’s impact for the Kingdom of God
- Stewardship of everything given into our care and over which we have influence; time, talent, resources, finances, environment, people, and ministries.
- Cooperative efforts without a spirit of competition in order to maximize resources and impact for the Kingdom of God.
- Priority in ministering to the poor and under-resourced people and communities
- Commitment to cross-cultural efforts, building multi-ethnic ministries and communities that stand as “signs and wonders” to surrounding societies.
