AFM - Emmanuel Assembly

Vision

“To be an Assembly that influences and impacts

Individuals, Communities and the Nations for God’s glory;

upholding the Apostolic Faith”

Shortened Version of our Vision

“To influence and to impact for God’s

glory”

Our Vision is based on the Scripture

Matthew 5:13-16 (NASB)

13“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has

become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything,

except to be thrown out and

trampled under foot by men”.

Our Vision is based on the Scripture Cont..

14“You are the light of the world. A city set on hill cannot

be hidden”.

15” Nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lamp stand, and it

gives light to all who are in the

house”

Our Vision is based on the Scripture Cont..

16“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they

may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in

heaven.”
