The first part is a local vision
|
To see families come together. There are so many families not coming together spiritually because they are split up by denominations. On a local level the vision is for families to come together. Even those people who are atheists or agnostics or those who are catholic or Baptist or whatever faith they may be. It does not matter, they can have a place to come together as a family and fellowship and hear about the Lord. A place where they won’t feel guilty to worship the Lord because of denomination or faith.

The second part of the vision is on a national level
|
My vision is to see people become part of a national family. Because, what is happening now is that people are separating in one of three major ways: Economically (finances); Racially (color); and Spiritually (denomination). I want to see these three areas come together on a national basis. Some people say it is happening now. I believe so but it’s going to happen on an even bigger scale. My vision is that people will come together just like God said in Acts 2:1-9. People of all nationalities are going to come together. The Bible says that every nation under the sun was present. The day of Pentecost is going to occur again and my vision is for my nation to bring all of God’s people together.

The third part of my vision is international
|
I would like to see Family Churches worldwide including the Philippines, Mexico, Germany, and Russia… everywhere! That’s the international aspect of my vision. Family Churches worldwide!
|
The fourth part of my vision is so important
|
It deals with all aspects of my vision. It is the Love for God. My vision is to have a church, not one but many churches that people can go to and know that they will be loved. No matter what situation they are in. If they are a drug dealer they can still go to church and loved. If they are a homosexual, they can still go church and be loved. We will not love the sin, but we will love them as people, so that they will come out of the sin! We will love them out of the sin.

The fifth part of the vision
|
Is to build churches that meet the needs of the community and not to build communities that meet the needs of the church. Most churches are designed and built for communities to meet the needs of the church. It’s not massive stained glass windows and huge buildings that I want. I want to see churches built that will meet the needs of the community. That’s what the vision is for The Family Church and I desire that God will be the head of The Family Church. Jesus Christ is the Savior of everyone that dwells in the church. I Bishop Williams, will be the Bishop and overseer of all in the church and the people will love one another. That’s the vision and I’m going to see the vision come to pass. Help me to make our vision a reality. I love you! |
