Our
Vision
“Operation 500.”
It is a strategic, invasive operation for the kingdom of God, with
the mission to saturate the nations with the full gospel of Jesus
Christ. The mission is defined; its actions are intentional and
resolved. We have embraced the fact that we are called to be an
army. We are to act like one, talk like one, function like one –
but our militancy is towards the blessing of mankind – the
salvation of their souls, the healing of their bodies, the prosperity
for their lives. Operation 500 is a progressive army of ambassadors,
equipped with the divine combination of the Word and the Spirit.
Our motto is “by whatever means” necessary to get the
gospel message into the hard places of the earth. We conquer, we
invade, we drive out the enemy, and we bring blessing.
God issued the call, and voiced it through Jesus Christ as He commanded
us in Matthew 28 saying, “All power is given unto
me in heaven and in earth. GO YE therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I
have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the
end of the world.” Verses
