In 1 Corinthians 15 the apostle Paul tells us that over 1,000 lives were forever changed through an encounter with the risen Jesus. These 1,000 “Jesus People”, empowered by the Holy Spirit and committed to the Great Commission, began a revolution that extended from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. This revolution transformed individuals, families, societies, institutions, and traditions with the grace and truth of Jesus Christ.
Here at Lakes Free Church we believe that God is calling us to be a catalyst for the ongoing advancement of the “Jesus People” revolution in the Chisago Lakes area and beyond. Over the next 20 years we are going to exercise an active trust, believing in faith that by God’s grace and through his empowerment we can reach 1,000 new believers with the transformational message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are not just striving for first time decisions, but faithful disciples who will join us on mission as people grounded in truth, growing in grace, and going in faith.
As the Lord builds his Church, he will need more men and women committed to vocational Christian ministry; and so, here at Lakes Free Church we will encourage, disciple, and support the next generation of Christian workers. Our prayer is to see 100 full-time servants of Jesus raised up and sent out from our fellowship.
