Whereas:
We believe and affirm that the Church of God in Africa has a divine calling which has been placed upon us by God almighty, and that we are anointed by the power of His Holy Spirit, and,

Whereas:
We understand that this calling includes following our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, into our communities (Heb. 13: 12, 13) as well as the rest of the world (Mt. 28: 18 – 20), and,

Whereas:
There is a need to continue teaching and demonstrating by example, the model of servant leadership lived and exemplified by Jesus Christ, and,

Whereas:
Joblessness and the poverty that accompanies it is a serious concern among our churches and members, and that we believe that God has not created us to be victims (Romans 8: 37), and that God has promised to bless His people so that we can be a blessing to others (Gen. 12: 2), and,

Whereas:
We can no longer depend on sources outside of Africa to provide for our needs, or to fulfill our destiny, understanding and believing that “God will supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory” (Philippians 4: 19), and,

Whereas:
Islam is pressing into Africa with violence and a determination to bring the people of the continent under Islamic domination, and,

Whereas:
We are engaged in a spiritual battle for the soul of the continent, seeing the power of God at work penetrating the hearts of Muslims with multitudes coming to Christ, demonstrating that Islam is not an unreachable harvest or an unbeatable giant, and,

Whereas:
The Church of God must expand and grow rapidly, without the infrastructure and costs of traditional facility-based approaches, and

Whereas:
We understand these new dynamics along with outreach into unreached regions and people groups requires a new approach using care ministries as access points and bridges in these challenging areas, and,

Whereas:
Social care alone is not sufficient, and that true care comes only through prayer which accesses the presence of God and the power of the Holy Spirit,

And be it further resolved that:
We will find, through prayer and dependence on God, ways and means to access the unreached harvest, and yet, knowing that care is not enough, we will partner prayer and care, praying for and loving the lost.

And be it further resolved that:
We will bless the Muslim people, the animist, and others who may be traditionally hostile to the gospel, that our posture will be that of peacemakers; taking the high ground of grace, praying for God to open doors and hearts.

And be it further resolved that:
We will share breakthrough strategies with one another; forming a task force to connect access ministry leaders to regularly pray, support and share with one another across nations, regions and the continent.

And be it further resolved that:
We will, by faith, proclaim, teach and live by the Biblical truth that Africa is no longer a powerless victim; that this is Africa’s hour on the stage of the world, demonstrating to all that God is working in, through and with us.

 And be it further resolved that:
We will find ways to fund business enterprises operated by our members, blessing them that they might in turn, bless Kingdom enterprises, believing and teaching that God’s desire is to bless us that we might be a blessing to others, and that we will work to see an employed, empowered membership; a tithing and giving missional people.

And be it further resolved that:
We will accept, confront and defeat the challenges arising in the coming years and decades, to include food shortages, housing, water, jobs, and any others arising; to be creative; feeding the poor, caring for the homeless, the orphan, widowed, infirmed, aged and injured – recognizing that only God can change a life, yet that He works through us to change the living conditions of those around us as a testimony of His love and power.

And be it further resolved that:
We will double our efforts to reach the next generation with the gospel and a Pentecostal experience, conducting Youth and Children’s outreach ministries, endeavoring to provide discipleship training; recruiting and mentoring children and youth ministry leaders, and encouraging young people to follow their calling into ministry.

And be it further resolved that:
We strongly affirm that humility and a profound attitude of servanthood are undeniable requirements for all leadership positions and appointments in the Church of God Africa, and that this is the leadership model found in Scripture and demonstrated by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to followed by all.
