The mission of One Body Ministries is to
unite of believers in Christ into one body. We aim to tear down the walls of
sectarianism and love each other as brothers and sisters in Christ. We do this in order to work together to reach lost and further the cause of the Kingdom of Christ. If
Christians used just a tenth of the energy we expend in fighting each other to
reach the lost, Heaven would be standing room only!
Christ's kingdom is truly
suffering from all our arguing. The mission of this ministry is to stop
the fighting and reach out to each other so that together we can go and
reach the lost.
Christians are the number one reason why the lost stay lost. That is why
we need to be one with each other, one in love. We need to be of one
Spirit, one purpose. We need to put aside our differences and stop
fighting each other. We all worship the same risen Savior, and we all
have the same enemy, yet we all keep fighting each other.
In spite of all this, in spite of the divisive attitudes, it is possible
to be one unified body of believers. If we can make Jesus Christ our
focus, we can have "unity in diversity". Imagine what a force
the church would be if we could do that! Imagine the impact we could have
on the lost! Imagine the souls we could win!
Jesus did not found many churches, he founded ONE church and He did not
found that church to split into many different factions, but to be of one
mind and one purpose. Jesus wants His Church to be in harmony and in
unity with one anther. He wants it so much He prayed for it. Knowing he
was facing torture and death, Jesus paused to pray that we would all be
one.
The ministry is dedicated to making Jesus' prayer a reality. We
realize that we will not get every single Christian in the world to act as
one, but if we can get a majority, if we can get enough Christians to show
the world that we are in deed one body, what an impact we would have!
Already in a few communities across the country, groups of Christians from
different denominations are working together to reach out to the lost in
those communities. What we want to do is increase the number of
communities where this is happening and then take it one step further.
By going out into
the country and teaching Christians the need for and importance of being
one, we hope that Jesus' prayer will be realized.
