OUR VISION:

At Immanuel Fellowship Gladstone, our vision is rooted in the profound words of scripture, where the divine mandate is clear: 'Behold I the Lord knew you before you were formed in thy Mother's womb, lo I have chosen you, you did not choose me' (John 15:16). With this sacred calling, we embrace our role as vessels of divine purpose, ordained to bring forth lasting fruit and to walk in the authority bestowed upon us by our Creator.

Drawing from the commandments of Christ Himself, we are summoned to awaken the slumbering giant known as the church, igniting a fervent flame of revival across nations. As articulated in Matthew 28:19-20 and Mark 16:15-18, we are commissioned to venture into all corners of the world, proclaiming the gospel with unwavering conviction and demonstrating the power of faith through miraculous signs and wonders.

Central to our vision is the recognition of the five-fold ministry's indispensable role in guiding the body of Christ towards maturity and unity. Just as Ephesians 4:11-16 elucidates, we affirm the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers as divine gifts bestowed upon us for the equipping of the saints and the edification of the church. Through their collective efforts, we aspire to attain a state of spiritual maturity, firmly rooted in the knowledge of Christ, immune to the shifting tides of false doctrines and deceit.

As we journey forward, let us heed the call to rise as one body, seamlessly interconnected and fueled by the boundless love of Christ. Together, let us march towards the fulfillment of our divine destiny, ushering in an era where the church stands as a beacon of hope, a bastion of truth, and a testament to the transformative power of faith."

CAPACITY BUILDING:

At Immanuel Fellowship Gladstone, we are fervently dedicated to the mission of building and expanding the Kingdom of God, not only within our local region and nation but also extending our reach to the farthest corners of the globe. Central to this endeavor is our unwavering commitment to the holistic development of the body of Christ.

To achieve this lofty goal, we have embarked on a multifaceted journey of capacity building, aimed at equipping and empowering every member of our congregation to fulfill their divine purpose with excellence and efficacy.

First and foremost, we recognize the paramount importance of spiritual edification. Through a myriad of teachings, seminars, and workshops, we strive to nurture a deep and intimate relationship with God, fostering spiritual growth and maturity within each individual.

Furthermore, we are resolute in our commitment to uplift and encourage one another in our faith journey. By fostering a culture of love, support, and accountability, we create an environment where every member feels valued, affirmed, and empowered to pursue their God-given calling with boldness and confidence.

Moreover, we understand the significance of guidance and direction in navigating the complexities of life and ministry. Through pastoral counseling, mentorship programs, and leadership training initiatives, we provide the necessary tools and resources to empower individuals to walk in alignment with God's will and purpose for their lives.

However, we also acknowledge that growth sometimes necessitates correction and discipline. With humility and grace, we embrace the responsibility to confront and address areas of weakness or deviation from biblical principles, always with the ultimate goal of restoration and reconciliation.

In essence, our capacity-building efforts are not merely about acquiring knowledge or skills but about cultivating a thriving community of believers who are deeply rooted in Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and committed to advancing the Kingdom of God with unwavering zeal and determination.

As we continue on this journey of growth and transformation, let us remain steadfast in our pursuit of excellence, unity, and godliness, knowing that our labor in the Lord is never in vain."

Our region;

In the heart of our community lies a vision—an aspiration to establish a dedicated altar, a sacred space where the presence of God permeates every corner, where souls find solace, and where lives are transformed. This altar stands not merely as a physical structure but as a beacon of hope, a symbol of God's abiding love and provision for His people.

At Immanuel Fellowship, we envision this altar as more than just a building; it is a sanctuary, a refuge for the weary, a haven for the broken-hearted. Here, amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, we carve out a sacred space where individuals from all walks of life can come together in unity and harmony, bound by a common faith and a shared sense of purpose.

This dedicated altar serves as a house of prayer, a place where we lift our voices in adoration and supplication, seeking God's guidance, provision, and intervention in our lives and in our community. It is a place of spiritual nourishment, where souls are fed with the life-giving word of God, where hearts are stirred, and spirits are refreshed.

Yet, our vision extends beyond the spiritual realm; this altar is also a hub of practical outreach and community engagement. It is a base of operations, a launchpad for initiatives aimed at meeting the tangible needs of our neighbors—providing food, clothing, shelter, and support to those who are marginalized, vulnerable, or in need.

But perhaps most importantly, this altar is a symbol of love, acceptance, and inclusivity. It is a place where every individual is welcomed with open arms, regardless of their background, beliefs, or struggles. Here, judgment gives way to grace, condemnation yields to compassion, and fear is replaced by freedom.

As we press forward in pursuit of this vision, let us be encouraged by the promise of God's faithfulness and provision. Let us rally together, united in our commitment to see this dream become a reality—a tangible expression of God's love and mercy in our midst. And as we build, let us do so with hearts full of hope, knowing that through this dedicated altar, lives will be touched, hearts will be healed, and our community will be forever transformed."

Our Nation;

In the tapestry of our nation, Immanuel Fellowship sees a beautiful display of diversity—a rich mosaic of cultures, backgrounds, and beliefs woven together by the common thread of faith in Christ. It is within this diversity that we find strength, unity, and the power to effect transformative change in our society.

We firmly believe in the inherent beauty and strength found in the diversity of the Church today. Just as the apostle Paul teaches in Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12, we understand that we are many members of one body, each with unique gifts, talents, and callings bestowed upon us by our Creator.

With humility and grace, we embrace our role as integral parts of this greater body, recognizing that we all serve a purpose in fulfilling the calling placed upon our lives, ministries, and churches according to the will of God. Whether we prophesy, minister, teach, exhort, give, or show mercy, let us do so with sincerity, diligence, and cheerfulness, knowing that every contribution, no matter how small, plays a vital role in advancing God's kingdom.

Just as a body cannot function properly if its members do not work together in harmony, so too our nation cannot thrive without unity and agreement among its citizens. Therefore, let us lay aside pride and self-interest, and let us walk in humility and love, esteeming one another above ourselves.

As we come together in unity and agreement, we have the power to see our nation rise up and fulfill the calling that God has placed upon it. Let us celebrate our differences, for they are what make us stronger. Let us embrace unity, for it is the catalyst for change. And let us walk hand in hand, guided by the Spirit of God, as we strive to create a nation where love, peace, and joy abound, reflecting the glory of our heavenly Father to the world."

RESTORATION:

At Immanuel Fellowship, we stand as witnesses to the powerful work of restoration that God is orchestrating within His Church. We believe wholeheartedly in the reformation that is unfolding before us—a divine movement where the broken are being healed, the scattered are being gathered, and the lost are finding their way back home.

In this pivotal moment, we hear the tender call of our Heavenly Father reaching out to the prodigal sons and daughters—the ones who have wandered, the ones who have been wounded, the ones who have been cast aside and forgotten. With arms wide open, God beckons them to return, promising not condemnation, but forgiveness, healing, and restoration.

For those who have been bruised and broken, know that God's love for you is unwavering. He is the gentle healer of bruised reeds and smoldering wicks, tenderly nurturing and restoring what others may have deemed irreparable. As Isaiah 42:3 reminds us, He does not break the bruised reed or extinguish the smoldering flax; instead, He brings forth judgment unto truth, leading us into a deeper understanding of His mercy and grace.

Through the anointing of His Spirit, God has commissioned us to be agents of restoration, proclaiming liberty to the captives, sight to the blind, and freedom to the oppressed. Just as Jesus declared in Luke 4:18, He has empowered us to preach the gospel to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted, and to set at liberty those who are bruised.

Therefore, let us rise up as instruments of God's restoration, extending His love and compassion to all who are in need. Let us be vessels of healing and reconciliation, reaching out to the wounded and the weary with the same grace and mercy that has been poured out upon us.

Together, let us embrace this season of restoration with hope and expectancy, knowing that God is faithful to complete the good work He has begun in each and every one of us. May we be bold in our proclamation of His redeeming love, believing that through His power, all things are made new."

CHURCH PLANTING:

As ambassadors of Christ, we are entrusted with a divine mandate—to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth, baptizing and making disciples of all nations. This charge, as articulated in Matthew 28:19, serves as the cornerstone of our vision at Immanuel Fellowship—a vision that encompasses not only the proclamation of the Gospel but also the establishment of vibrant, thriving churches that serve as beacons of light in their communities.

In obedience to this call, we are committed to the noble task of church planting—a sacred endeavor that holds the power to transform lives, communities, and nations. Just as Jesus declared in Mark 13:10, the Gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations before the end shall come. Therefore, we embark on this journey with a sense of urgency and purpose, knowing that the time is ripe for the harvest.

But our motivation for church planting extends beyond mere obedience; it is rooted in the promise of Revelation 2:26—that to the one who conquers and remains steadfast in obedience to Christ's commands, authority over the nations will be granted. Armed with this promise, we press forward with confidence, knowing that our labor in the Lord is not in vain.

At Immanuel Fellowship, we understand that church planting is not merely about erecting physical structures or increasing numerical growth; it is about advancing the Kingdom of God and His righteousness on earth. It is about creating communities of faith where the lost find hope, the broken find healing, and the weary find rest.

Therefore, let us embrace this noble calling with passion and zeal, knowing that we have been divinely appointed and empowered for such a time as this. Let us be bold in our proclamation of the Gospel, unwavering in our commitment to disciple-making, and steadfast in our pursuit of planting churches that shine as lights in the darkness.

Together, let us sow the seeds of faith, trusting in the promise of God's abundant harvest. And as we do, may our efforts bear fruit that lasts for eternity, bringing glory and honor to the name of Jesus Christ, the author and perfecter of our faith."

MY MINISTRY:

For over 15 years, my journey in ministry has been a testament to the endless wonders of God's love. It is His unfailing love that has captivated my heart, leading me to understand that love is not just a sentiment but the very essence of the Kingdom—a language spoken fluently by those who dwell in the presence of the Almighty.

In every aspect of my ministry—whether prophesying, teaching, or operating in the gifts of the Spirit—I have sought to minister from the wellspring of God's boundless love. For I have come to realize that without love, all my efforts would be in vain. It is love that fuels my passion, love that guides my actions, and love that brings forth the greatest rewards.

Throughout my years in ministry, I have been privileged to witness the transformative power of God's love at work. From miraculous healings to deliverance, from salvation to prophetic utterances, I have seen firsthand the profound impact of love in action.

Yet, my vision extends beyond individual testimonies; I believe that all nations are called to serve the Kingdom of God, each person uniquely endowed with a purpose to fulfill. In particular, I am compelled by a prophetic calling concerning the first nation people and their descendants in Australia—a divine mandate waiting to be fulfilled.

This prophetic word propels me to minister God's truth to all who have ears to hear, stirring a deep yearning within me to see it come to fruition. However, I am acutely aware that this task cannot be accomplished in isolation. It requires the unification of all who call Australia home, regardless of background or heritage.

Therefore, I am committed to fostering unity and collaboration among God's people, encouraging, uplifting, and edifying one another as we work together to see God's purposes fulfilled in our nation. For it is our collective duty, as representatives of God, to ensure that His prophetic promises are realized and His Kingdom advances on earth.

As I continue on this journey, I am filled with hope and anticipation, knowing that God's love will always prevail, His purposes will always come to pass, and His Kingdom will be established in every corner of the earth."

MY OFFICE: APPOSTLE

As an Apostle to the Nations, I stand as a beacon of exaltation and encouragement, igniting the hearts of believers to soar to new heights in their walk with God. My passion lies in empowering individuals to recognize and embrace their true identity as children of the Most High, heirs to the Kingdom of God, and wielders of divine authority in every circumstance of life.

Called by God Himself and affirmed by seasoned Apostles who recognized the anointing upon my life, I have embarked on a journey of discipleship and growth spanning over 15 years. I vividly recall the solemn words of my mentor, the late Dr. Garnett Budge, who imparted wisdom upon me, reminding me that the calling of an Apostle is not merely a title but a mantle to be grown into.

It was in a divine moment in Loxton, South Australia, in 2017, that I was officially released into the office of an Apostle by Apostle Peter Vacca, under the leading of the Holy Spirit. Since then, I have embraced my mandate with fervor and conviction, understanding the weight of responsibility that comes with the calling.

As an Apostle, I am commissioned to unveil the truth of God's Word, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the path to salvation through Jesus Christ. I stand as a guardian of righteousness and justice, bringing healing, deliverance, and liberation to those ensnared by the enemy's schemes.

Furthermore, I recognize and honor the unique callings, giftings, and anointings upon each member of the body of Christ, equipping and releasing them into their divine purposes according to God's will. With an apostolic anointing, I wage war against spiritual strongholds, demolishing the enemy's fortresses and ushering in God's kingdom reign over cities, regions, and minds.

But above all, I am anchored in the unshakable truth that God has a victorious plan for His Church—a plan ordained from the foundations of the world. Despite the challenges and setbacks we may face, I am convinced that the sleeping giant called the Church will rise in triumph, fulfilling God's eternal purposes and bringing glory to His name.

For it is His will, His purpose, and His power that will ultimately prevail, ushering in a glorious era of redemption and restoration for the nations. Let us, therefore, stand firm in faith, knowing that our victory is assured in Christ Jesus, the author, and finisher of our faith."

The Gospel:

It is both an honor and a privilege bestowed upon us to proclaim the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ—a message that holds the power to transform hearts, renew minds, and reconcile humanity to God. As stewards of this sacred message, we carry the divine mandate to take the Gospel to our nations, to share it boldly and teach it faithfully unto salvation.

For the Gospel is not merely a set of words but the very embodiment of God's redemptive plan for mankind. It is rooted in the power of the cross, where Jesus, the Son of God, willingly laid down His life as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. Through His resurrection, we are assured of victory over sin and death, and through the Holy Spirit, given to us as a precious gift, we are empowered to walk in the fullness of God's grace and truth.

Indeed, to those who are perishing, the message of the cross may seem foolish, but to us who are saved, it is the power of God unleashed unto salvation (1 Corinthians 1:18). It is the Word of truth, the Gospel, that brings hope—a hope laid up for us in heaven (Colossians 1:5).

Therefore, let us allow the Word of God to richly inhabit us, to dwell within us with wisdom and understanding (Colossians 3:16). For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword, capable of discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).

But let us not be hearers of the Word only; let us also be doers, sharing generously with those who teach us the Word (Galatians 6:6). For the Gospel that we proclaim did not come to us in word only but in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with full assurance (1 Thessalonians 1:5).

As we embark on this journey of sharing the Gospel, let us do so with hearts overflowing with gratitude and thankfulness, singing praises to God for the immeasurable gift of His Son and the life-changing power of His Gospel. And may the message of salvation resonate in every corner of the earth, bringing glory to His name and ushering souls into His eternal Kingdom."

Authority and Power:

Behold, the King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus Christ, has been exalted to the highest place, seated at the right hand of the Father, with all authority in heaven and on earth bestowed upon Him. Every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that He is Lord, for His dominion knows no bounds.

And in His infinite grace, He has graciously shared His authority with His beloved Church, empowering us to operate in His name, to proclaim His truth, and to demonstrate His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. For He has given us authority to lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover; to open blind eyes and make the lame walk; to cast out demons in His mighty name.

As we walk in the footsteps of our Lord, teaching with authority and power, let us marvel at the wonders of His grace and glorify the God who has entrusted such power to mere mortals. For He has ordained us, His disciples, to be bearers of His authority, sending us forth to preach the good news and to manifest His kingdom in signs and wonders.

Therefore, let us not shrink back in fear or doubt, but let us stand firm in the authority bestowed upon us by our King. For He has given us power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; nothing shall by any means harm us.

So let us go forth boldly, confident in the authority of the Kingdom of God that resides within us. Let us proclaim His truth, demonstrate His love, and advance His kingdom, knowing that we do so not in our own strength, but in the mighty name of Jesus, the one who reigns forever and ever. Amen."

Purpose:

The fundamental purpose of the church, the body of Christ, is rooted in the commandments of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ—to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. This is the cornerstone upon which the entire mission of the church is built, for in love, we fulfill the law and the prophets.

As followers of Christ, we are called to be the light of the world, to shine brightly in a dark and broken world, so that the love of the Lord may be made known to all. Our purpose is not to hide our faith under a bushel but to boldly proclaim it from the mountaintops, illuminating the path to salvation for all who are lost.

Yet, we must also recognize that as members of the body of Christ, we will inevitably endure suffering for His sake. Just as we were baptized into His death, so too we are called to share in His sufferings. But take heart, for just as Christ was raised from the dead, so too shall we be raised to newness of life.

In the midst of suffering, let us not be dismayed, for through it, God is perfecting our faith, cultivating patience and perseverance within us, and shaping our character to reflect that of Christ Himself. Therefore, let us rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that they produce endurance, character, and hope (Romans 5:3-4).

So let us embrace our purpose with joy and conviction, loving God wholeheartedly and loving our neighbors sacrificially. Let us shine as beacons of light in a world engulfed in darkness, bearing witness to the transformative power of God's love. And may the love of Christ compel us to fulfill our purpose with unwavering faith and devotion, until the day when we stand in His presence, perfected in His love for all eternity. Selah!"

Aim:

At Immanuel Fellowship Gladstone, our aim is not merely to establish another church building, but to create a dwelling place for the presence of God in the hearts of His people. We envision a sanctuary where all are welcome, regardless of background or belief, to come together in unity of mind, faith, and spirit to seek God, pray fervently, and fellowship with one another in the bonds of love.

Central to our aim is the cultivation of credibility and trust within the wider religious community. We believe in fostering authentic relationships, grounded in integrity and mutual respect, with fellow religious groups, denominations, and organizations. By building bridges of understanding and cooperation, we seek to establish a network of accountability and governance that upholds the principles of God's word.

Furthermore, our vision extends beyond the confines of our city to reach out to the nations with the transformative power of the gospel. We are committed to identifying and nurturing the divine callings placed upon individuals and communities, providing them with the support and resources they need to fulfill their God-given purposes. Through encouragement, upliftment, edification, and training in the word of God, we seek to empower others to walk boldly in their calling, even as we ourselves strive to do the same.

Additionally, we are deeply committed to fostering reconciliation and unity among all peoples, particularly between non-Aboriginal Australians, First Nations peoples, and migrants. We recognize that true reconciliation begins with being reconciled to God and then extends to our fellow human beings. Therefore, we endeavor to practice and promote the principles of reconciliation found in the word of God, working tirelessly to heal divisions and build bridges of understanding and respect.

In all that we do, our aim remains fixed on glorifying God and advancing His kingdom on earth. We are committed to walking in humility, wisdom, and love, trusting in the guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead us in fulfilling our purpose and vision as a fellowship. And as we press forward in faith, we believe that God will continue to bless and prosper the work of our hands for His glory and honor."

Goals:

Our goal at Immanuel Fellowship Gladstone is rooted in the very heart of God—to reach out to the unsaved, to bring light into darkness, joy into sorrow, and hope to the hopeless. We are called to be fathers to the fatherless, extending the love and compassion of our Heavenly Father to all who are in need.

Central to our goal is the manifestation of the Kingdom of God here on earth, bringing heaven's reality into the midst of humanity's brokenness. We aim to teach others the authority of the Kingdom of God and how to operate in that authority, empowering them to walk in victory and freedom in every area of life.

To achieve this, we are committed to:

1. The Power of Prayer: Recognizing the transformative power of prayer, we regularly come together in unity to intercede for one another and lift up the needs of our community before the throne of grace.
2. Foundational Teaching: Grounded in the wisdom and knowledge of God's Word, we seek to build a firm foundation for believers to grow and thrive upon. Through diligent study and application of Scripture, we equip individuals to walk in wisdom and understanding.
3. Community Outreaches: We engage with our community through regular outreaches, events, and activities, demonstrating the love of Christ in tangible ways and providing opportunities for the lost to encounter His grace.
4. Networking: We collaborate with religious and non-religious groups and organizations, pooling our resources and expertise to meet the diverse needs of our community. By working together, we can more effectively address the challenges facing our region and extend a helping hand to those in need.

Above all, we are not merely a religion or a church—we are a family, united by our common faith in Christ and our commitment to love and serve one another. We are a home where all are welcome, accepted, and embraced with open arms.

As we press forward in pursuit of our goal, let us do so with hearts full of faith, hope, and love, trusting in the power of God to bring about transformation and revival in our midst. May our lives be a living testimony to the goodness and grace of our Heavenly Father, drawing others into the abundant life found in His Son, Jesus Christ. Amen."
