The primary purpose of Bishops ministry is to teach the uncompromising Word of God and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ! The vision the Lord gave me was of a church without division. That is, a church void of segregation because of race or nationality. I saw a church without the walls of denominational barriers where God’s banner over us is LOVE. I saw a church of born again, Spirit-filled believers who are Ambassadors by the principles of God’s Word and lead a victorious life. I saw a church of believers where the fruit of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and temperance are abundant.
Bishops vision is plainly to reach the lost and teach the found! He is called to reach out beyond the walls of the church and be a demonstration of the principles of the kingdom of God in the earth. Not only does he assume responsibility for the local church, but for our community, our state, our nation, and our world. He is called to be the moral conscience of society, influencing our government and setting a standard of righteousness.
Bishop is called to equip and help bring maturity to the Body of Christ. He’s  not organized to merely distribute fish to people, but to teach men and women to fish for themselves. Bishop is called to disciple men and women and have them disciple others. He’s  here to develop God-given gifts and talents and to inspire a spirit of excellence in the Lord.
