Why We Exist
CORE PURPOSE: Advancing the Kingdom of God by serving students
God’s Purpose is our Core Purpose that is: ‘We exist to advance the Kingdom of God by serving students’!
The plan of God, which He set forth in Christ at the fullness of time is to unite all things in Him, things in Heaven and things on earth”6. God is advancing His Kingdom to reign and rule over His creation through Jesus Christ. Since we all are part of this grand purpose, our purpose is to advance the Kingdom of God by reaching and equipping students to influence first their universities, the nation and the world as their sphere of influence.
Domain of our Core Purpose is: ‘Students’!
We believe that our purpose would be achieved through our domain of ministry, which pertains to students. Changing students means changing the world. We keenly identify with the claim of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship that states “The way students spend their time in college lays the foundation for the next 40 years of their lives”
Expression of our Core Purpose is: ‘a transformed society’!
Our purpose, ‘advancing the Kingdom of God’ is expressed by social transformation in which we aspire to see a society having a culture which values the values of the Kingdom. Our big purpose is conveyed through our work of evangelism, discipleship, and leadership development.
Main Task of our Core Purpose is: ‘serving’!
Our purpose, ‘advancing the Kingdom of God’ could be achieved well when we serve which is best modeled by Jesus Christ Himself. Every activity that we are doing demands an attitude of humility “by considering others better than oneself”, and love by “looking not only to self-interest but also to the interest of others”. With this, we serve one another, we serve the society and we serve the world for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.
