Canadian Council of Pakistani Christians:

Our Vision:
Our vision at “Canadian Council of Pakistani Christians” is to learn to live in the love and power of God as revealed in Word of God and to introduce people to Him so that they may be made whole.
Though we are based in Toronto, Canada, where God has placed us, our heart is to reach out to all whom God sends and be ready to respond to God's calling to go out "into all the world". Our desire is to respond to what God is doing and act on the God given vision. We desire to reach out to the lost and hurting, to bring 'good news' to the world, to heal the sick, to set free those in bo***ge and to nurture new believers and non-believers.
We value an 'open' approach to fellowship - the priesthood of all believers, where all can function, every fellowship member equally blessed and equipped to serve the Lord. Prayer and worship are at the center of our lifestyle as individuals and as a group of believers. We seek to resolve every issue with prayer and see prayer as vital to evangelism and growth.
We recognize the importance of God-given gifts and responsibilities but view leadership as 'low profile' - not concerned with position but with a heart to develop people: serving, equipping, motivating and releasing them in their gifts.
We want to be a 'fellowship without walls’ - providing space for real friendships both within and outside the fellowship.
We recognize and value the fellowship and desire to bless it, pray for it, love it and find meaningful relationships within it.
We Believe:
> There is one true God, existing eternally who revealed Himself as “I AM” and has further revealed Himself in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
> The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God - a revelation from God to mankind.
> Salvation is God’s gift of eternal life, presented to all who repent before God and by faith, accept Jesus Christ as Savior and receive spiritual new birth by the Holy Spirit thereby becoming an heir of God.
> Without a life of holiness no man will see the Lord. We are able to obey the command, "Be holy for I am holy" only by the power of the Holy Spirit.
> The will of God is sanctification for all believers and should be pursued by walking obediently as per Word of God.
> Lord Jesus issued us “Great Commission” to spread the Good News of His salvation to all peoples and every nation. To fulfill this commission, we must not only proclaim the love of God but demonstrate it through works of compassion like providing for orphans & homeless, feeding the poor and hungry and assisting the sick and distressed as directed by God.
