And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:18-20).
A new ministry is starting at Nelson in which our focus will be the Great Commission. We will endeavour, by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit, to share the Good News with the lost, and make disciples who will make disciples. This new ministry is called ACTS (Arise Church, Together Shine), reminding us of the great work of the Holy Spirit in the early church in the book of Acts as they spread the Gospel out from Jerusalem to Judea, Samaria and beyond.
Recently, in keeping with this vision, the ACTS ministry has started the Alpha program every Saturday evening where we share a meal together and explore the big questions in life, such as: Who is Jesus? Why did Jesus die? How can I have faith?
