ONELife Vision 2008

Hi everyone,

Yesterday, we had the ONELife Zonal Meeting where we met together as a zone and hear form our Zone Overseer, Chye Aik, share the vision for ONElife for 2008.


Here are some notes I have taken:

Objectives & Who We Are:

• ONELife is a group of young adults who are just starting off on their careers, singles or going into relationship
• ONELife believes that we have just ONE life; one life to live and give
• This is also the time when we are in our prime and able to give of our time and energy to the work of extending God's kingdom
• A time of building our lives on God's blueprint; growing in righteousness and living a God-honouring lifestyle
• A time of reaching people, retaining, raising and releasing them to further the work of extending God's kingdom

Vision 2008

• Aligned with church's vision for 2008: Strengthening the core
• Strengthening at cell-level; meeting the needs of members e.g. through special cell nites
• Strengthening at leadership level e.g. L-cell and mentoring

What about YOU?

• Chye Aik shared with us MAPS on how we can be strengthened and grow spiritually too:
• Mutuality: Connecting, sharing and edifying one another; e.g. not just receiving encouragement but also giving encouragement
  
• Accountability: Helping one another to live God-honouring lifestyles
• Priority: Understanding that spiritual growth and relationship with God takes commitment, amidst busy schedules and spiritual attacks
  
• Service: Serving to build the body of Christ in various ways, with our God-given gift(s)

Our Cell Discussion:

• What would you feel is the core in our cell? Some felt it is:
  
• Accountability to God; our lifestyle
• Relationships within the cell; edifying and encouraging one another
• Direction our cell is heading; are we heading the same direction?
• Commitment; priority given to God and spiritual growth
  
• Personal responsibility for spiritual growth.
  I have shared that we all need to take up responsibility for spiritual growth and not only rely on others to nourish us. We need to grow to see how God is at work in our lives, how real He is. Only then will we live God-honouring lifestyles, share edifying and encouraging relationships, head in the same direction as God leads and of course commit and give priority to growth with God
• Which aspect(s) of MAPS would be critical in helping you to grow spiritually? Priortise them.
