CSAFMI’s Foundational Scriptures:
Jeremiah 23:3-4

“I Myself will gather the remnants of My flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number. I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing.” declares the Lord."

CSAFMI’s Vision Statement:
“A multitude of Spirit-filled, equipped, and faithful shepherds are gathering, tending, caring, and protecting the Lord’s flock as they grow, bear fruit, and increase in number for God’s glory.”

CSAFMI’s Mission Statement:
“To prepare, equip, and reproduce Spirit-filled and faithful servants of God who will stand ready to answer the call of the Lord Jesus Christ to shepherd over the flock that He gathers, making certain that none of them are found needy and are missing.”

CSAFMI’s Basic Ministerial Objective:
“To establish a Christian Community wherein the Core Values adhered to by the Ministry become the standard yardsticks in gauging the quality of life of every member in the Community, and the love of Christ should truly manifests among themselves so that the world around them will know that they are really disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, for God’s glory.”.

CSAFMI's Six Basic Activities

The Weekly Fellowship Service:

This is a weekly gathering of the saints in a local area at the designated House of Prayer – the dwelling place of the Lord’s Name. It is here where the flock hears the Word of the Lord from the pulpit and offers their praise and worship to Him. Our presence in this activity determines how we value the worthiness of the Lord Jesus Christ in our lives.

This is the substance of our obedience to the first and greatest commandment which the Lord speaks of in Matthew 22:37 saying “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” It is a good thing to be a Christian, but if we don’t value Him Who offers up His life for us, what good would it be for us. Matthew 7:2 says, “. . . and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

The Weekly Group Bible Study:

This is a weekly group study of the Word of God. It is here where an organized curriculum for the building up of our spiritual life is being studied, discussed and clarified for proper understanding of every member of the Ministry. Through this endeavor, a common understanding of God’s Word is being attained by the Church, thus bringing all the members of CSAFMI closer to one another. It is also through the Bible Study Group that a member of CSAFMI is first exposed to ministerial responsibilities and got first hand experiences on how to care for one another.

The Weekly Bible Study Group Prayer Meeting:

This is a weekly gathering of a Bible Study Group solely intended to pray for the domestic concerns of its attendees. It is here where the Bible Study Group attendees share their lives among themselves and learn to carry each other’s burden. This is to fulfill what the Scripture highlights in Galatians 6:2 saying, “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”

The Individual Daily Bible Reading and Meditation:

In today’s time of scarcity, people are scrambling over every opportunity to earn a living. What is more ironic is that, in the midst of this situation, many are offering easy ways to attain success and prosperity. Even Christians are carried away from their God-ordained ways and are hooked into these various strategies of amassing wealth. They forget that the Lord has made success and prosperity an inherent aspect of a Christian life. He guarantees it to us through our daily Bible Reading and Meditation!

CSAFMI believes that success and prosperity is one of the Lord’s ultimate desires for His gathered flock in this Pasture. And because of this, a Daily Reading and Meditation of His Word was made a regular part of a member’s daily routine, so as not to miss the blessing that the Lord has spoken of in Joshua 1:8 saying, “Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.” Yes, there are many ways to attain success and prosperity, but for it to be reckoned in Heaven, it should be obtained according to the ways of the Lord only! Therefore, whatever others may say, the Lord still expects us to be doing His Will and not miss His way. Only His ways matters to a Christian whose citizenship is not in this world but in Heaven.

The Conquering The World Program:

Relevant to the enlightenment that we received from the Lord, stipulating that all those who will become members of the Ministry of CSAFMI are called to be Ministers, the ‘Conquering The World’ Program was instituted. Through this program, every remnant of the Lord’s flock that He gathers in this Pasture is made a watchman over CSAFMI. Hence everyone is encouraged to offer a regular time daily to pray for His chosen shepherds, His gathered flock and this Ministry. The goal of the Program is to establish round-the-clock (24-hours) prayer intercessors daily throughout the world for CSAFMI. Yes, the Lord has already disarmed all powers and authority in this world on the Cross of Calvary, but He still needs our intercession so that He could act on our behalf. Our regular daily individual petitions to Him for the things that we desire Him to do in the lives of our shepherds, His gathered flock and this Ministry ensures our conquest of the world before us. It is His desires that we should be more than conquerors.

For the shepherds, the focus of the prayers is for their protection from the adulteration of the world and continuous guidance of the Holy Spirit in their activities, both personal and ministerial. Instead of them being affected by the prevailing trend in shepherding God’s flock, they will be able to affect the world’s perception about God through their correct exegesis and proper teachings of the Word of God.

For the flock, the focus of the prayers is on the attainment of a life wholly committed to the Will of the Lord Jesus Christ. May the Lord continue to bless them, make them able members of the Christian Community, and worthy representatives of the Lord Jesus Christ in the locality where they are gathered and established as a Church.

The prayers for the Ministry should be focused on her attainment of the God-given Vision. May she not deviate from the ordained Mission and none of those places chosen for her to establish a Pasture for the gathered remnants of the Lord’s flock will be neglected.

The Christ’s Power Pool Program:

Christ’s Power Pool is a program prescribed for every individual member of CSAFMI to start their day by drawing strength from the Lord Jesus Christ. It encourages every member of CSAFMI to meet the Lord Jesus Christ daily between the hours of 4:00 A.M. to 6:00 A.M. as a personal devotion to His Lordship over their lives. It is also an individual prayer devotion done by a member of CSAFMI daily at the appointed House Of Prayer ordained of the Lord as a dwelling place of His Holy Name in a local community.
