So what does Mirror the Messiah do?
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower, encourage, equip, and partner with God’s saints around the world to mirror our Messiah in everything! But this is not a one size fits all task. Apprenticeship is unique to each individual, but the priniciples are the same. Mirror the Messiah seeks to express those principles and mindsets to help individuals hear God and start mirroring Him!
Why?
Jesus is the Father's love in action to us! We desire to help people see that like Jesus we too can live in the reality that we can hear God, do what He says to do, and go where He says to go. This is reflecting the Son and it will be reflecting the Father's love to a world that so desperately needs it!
For What Purpose?
This is picking up our crosses and following Jesus. Jesus calls this walking in perfection and holiness. This is living in the Kingdom/Living in Him! Only those who are dressed as He is dressed are in the Kingdom, so it becomes a primary need and necessity for those who love God to walk as He walked!
