VISION 2006
Following the precedent of Habakkuk 2:2, carmel: makes a point of ‘writing the vision’ and following its progress on an annual basis, publishing it in carmel:’s twentyfour7 magazine as early in the year as possible (see issue 11).
2005 was crucial in preparing for the current year and resulted in a wonderful catalogue of evidence showing God’s abundant provision for the ministry.
There was significant growth; more facilities open to the public, more influence in the local community, more interaction on a national scale and an increase in the networking with other international ministries.
Looking ahead presents unprecedented challenges in terms of carmel:’s experience to date. However, experiencing God’s power in the life of the ministry so far gives every reason to believe that the new challenges will be met and achieved.
‘…to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.’ Luke 9:2
There will be a strong stand against those things which throw doubt on the reality of God and the Bible. With this there will be, in many ways, a reaffirmation of godly values in relation to family, church and citizenship. And realising the importance and power of up-and-coming generations, there will be an emphasis which includes training in a lifestyle which can most powerfully influence today’s and tomorrow’s society. Unquestionably many changes will need to be made to produce the outcome which all these articles of vision require. However, the central mission remains: ‘…to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.’ Luke 9:2.
