          • The answer to the future of the church is lay people as ministers.

            Those making predictions about the future are stating that the world will never be the same post-COVID-19, and we can see preparations being made for what’s to come when COVID-19 is over. So then what will the church be like post-COVID-19? We already have model churches from history.
            Just as the New Testament church becoming scattered after persecution was what caused the saints to spread Christianity in the world, God will restore today’s church just like the New Testament church. Before COVID-19, the church was minister-oriented, duty-oriented, building-oriented, and focused on being visible and systematic. However, this pattern is being broken as the church becomes more focused on lay people, becomes scattered into house churches, and becomes small group oriented and invisible. These churches, just as the churches in history that penetrated Rome and spread the gospel, will penetrate the world.
            So I am confident that the future of the church is not in the hands of ministers but lay people. And it is up to how well the church ‘trains its lay people ministers’. This does not simply refer to lay people being appointed a role, volunteering at church, or having duties at church. It’s about appointing as ministers those in house churches who have the spirituality to save souls and to revive those who are spiritually dying.
            It is the duty of the minister to decide who, of the lay people, has the spirituality to be appointed. I believe that those whom the Lord has called upon, and have anointed with the Holy Spirit will play an important role at Crystal Church in the future. These lay people ministers will become a role model and challenge the laity that attend church out of obligation, and eventually change them. I will focus on making our congregation play leading roles at church, and train you up until the day I step down from my role. I ask that you also have a yearning for this leading role and seek a heart that dreams of becoming a lay person minister that saves souls and families and saves the world.

            We can often become weary in our lives but it is not because of our circumstances or people. It is because God’s grace has been exhausted. What we need is God’s grace.
