Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29)
We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3)
We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

The speakers prayed for the newly ordained facilitators, urging them to lead by example, be anointed with the Holy Spirit, and build up the local body of Christ. They stressed that true ministry requires humility, submission to God's word, and reliance on divine power over personal qualifications.
