Transformation Strategy

Transforming Arusha for Christ

Felix Anderson Christ The King International, USA

What if the church of Arusha was: • Providing a local congregation within walking distance of every person, • Meeting the physical, spiritual and social needs of the community, and • Functioning intentionally from the biblical worldview, bringing truth to all areas of community life: the family, business, politics, justice, arts, education, communication, science and technology, the environment and agriculture.

Picture a place where such congregations discipled all who responded to the Gospel to obey everything that Christ commanded.

Consider a place where Christ is working through His Church, in such a way that He: •Heals the community’s deepest wounds, •Redeems their cultures, •Restores their God-given dignity, and •Gives them a hope and a destiny.

Dream of a place where Christ is Lord of life; where there is: • • • •

Individual righteousness Economic sufficiency for all, Lasting social peace, and Justice – even for the poorest of the poor.

Praying the Kingdom of God to earth.

Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.
