MISSION STATEMENT & PURPOSE
By Grace, with the Holy Spirit, we challenge
leaders to discover and achieve their
personal calling, assisting them to
influence their environments
with the Gospel.
The purpose of Via de Cristo is, above all, to see the world reconciled to Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:20). We believe that Jesus, in the Great Commission, has challenged every Christian to "go into the world and make disciples" (Matthew 28: 18-20). By the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, Via de Cristo is an effective method through which he affirms His original charge to us. It is one of several methods available to the church today to renew and increase a faith that is already a gift to believers.
In keeping with its purpose, the Via de Cristo method assists individual Christians to actively be in the church; to do what is normal for the church.
By strengthening and renewing the faith of Christian leaders, the gospel radiates through them to their family, work environment and congregation. Through these leaders, the gospel influences all the environments in which these people live, work and play. (The Essentials of Via de Cristo, pp. 11-12)
