Faith Facts

Evangelicals rejoice as God draws new believers into His Kingdom, shining light in even the darkest places. Recent movements reveal how, by relying on the Holy Spirit and removing obstacles, the Church can regain its New Testament vitality.
The Motus Dei Network has issued a timely call for revival: their “Reactivating the Church as Movement” statement encourages churches everywhere to pursue Jesus’ example and prioritize Spirit-empowered disciple-making ministries.
Drafted and refined by a diverse team of scholars and leaders, the statement outlines twelve core biblical affirmations—such as the centrality of Christ, reliance on Scripture, local leadership, and the multiplication of simple, reproducing communities.
“Reactivating the Church as Movement” underscores the Church’s historic strength: ordinary believers sharing the good news, forming new gatherings, and equipping more leaders for God’s glory.
The statement addresses barriers to gospel multiplication, urging reflection on what church traditions or patterns might need adjustment to better fulfill the mission Jesus gave us.
It challenges all believers to renew their commitment to prayer, humble service, and biblically faithful outreach, trusting God for spiritual growth and transformation across nations.
This invitation is open: together, let us pursue faithful, multiplying witness so that every people and nation may know Christ and experience true freedom under God.
