KLM Vision

Be an Apostolic Hub

God has called KLM to be an Apostolic Hub in this territory.   Our desire, through a clarion call of the Holy Spirit, is to be a meeting place and training center to bring forth the warriors in the Kingdom of God.  We desire to be a center that dispatches dynamic teams, ministries, and individuals who are climate changers by the authority of Jesus Christ. We want to recognize, grow, mature, affirm and equip:  Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Preachers, and Evangelist for the work of the Kingdom.

Be A Part of The Gathering

The Gathering Grand Rapids prayer service will be held at DeVos Place Conference Center on April 25, 2010 from 6-8 pm. We want to invite you and your congregation to join us in prayer and worship on this day. We have seating for 4000 with room for more if we need it.

The purpose of this event is to pray as a church united for the city and region of Grand Rapids. We hope that it will be a cross-denominational and cross-cultural event representing all parts of the Body of Christ. We plan on praying for many specific needs in our community, from region-wide issues to the personal requests of those who attend.

Focus on the Community

KLM in 2010 is very passionate about expanding our community outreach.  We will continue to focus on the needs of the community with our  work against youth gang violence, at- risk youth mentoring, and also collaborating with organizations to continue to minister in substance abuse programs. 

KLM will continue to collaborate with our sister organization KLM Community Development Corporation in community matters.   Our organization will partner with other community organizations to develop the “total man” type of programs that include but are not limited to youth programs, a family resource center, job skill training, food pantries, career training and more.

Become a Safe Haven

In these tough economic and personal times it is our desire to be a place of refuge for the hurting, scared, discouraged.  The church and her light needs to shine with a new brightness.  We must be careful not to judge, but to be a hand of support to those who need hope.  As the very structures that people have placed their trust in continue to crumble, it is our duty to introduce them to someone who will never leave them or forsake them:  Christ Jesus!

Prayer

Prayer has been and will continue to be the lifeline, and the heart of this ministry. We will be introducing new prayer strategies, focuses, and events throughout the year.  If we are going to see God manifest like He has promised, the intercessors must keep their face set like a flint (Isaiah 50:7 - Because the Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.).   God has put a mandate over this ministry to turn to the walls and pray for this city, region, nation, and world.

Arise oh Zion

The time is now, the season is sure for the church to arise.  The world needs to see the Body of Christ stronger than before.  Zion, stand strong and take your place.  Our vision is to create a string in the people of God to cry out for righteousness.  For a people to effect their sphere of influence with new measure of love and compassion and for the Kingdom of God to advance!

Release the 5 fold Ministries

In this season, the church must shift into the God inspired alignment.  God is calling His people into the fullness of His glory. He desires us to return to a place of power (Genesis 1:28 – Let us create man in our own image and give him all power and authority to rule)! This fullness is to be carried on the wings of the restored church of Jesus Christ.  This is the FULLNESS, WIDTH, and BREATH of Jesus.  The Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Preachers, and Evangelists must come back to the house of God and most importantly, these offices need to belong to a local body.

Grow in our levels of Commitment

Our desire in 2010 is to deepen our level of commitment to the things of God.  Religion has allowed a watered down church to form throughout our religious institutions.  KLM desires to be a people that will truly as it is stated in Matthew 6:33, ”Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.”

It is our desire to see a people raised up into a relationship with Christ, where they can clearly hear the direction, plans, and purposes for their lives, and their family.  God, in this season, is calling us to have an abiding (remaining) attitude.  John 15:4 says, “Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.”  God wants to release so much to His people, but needs to have a relationship with us to do so…

Focus on Evangelism

The heartbeat of God is souls!  As we continue into this year, our focus will be on bringing souls into the Kingdom of God.  Not only to bring the souls into the Kingdom, but to train them up in the way they should go.  The church as a whole has lost the true meaning in the office of the Evangelist.  Most of our Evangelists these days are doing nothing to win the lost, but are performing for the found.  God is calling us out into the community. We believe that Prophetic evangelism will play a powerful role in the evangelism of our city.

Develop an Apostolic People

Apostolic from the Greek is Apostollos, meaning pioneer, groundbreaker, first.  KLM desires to see people walk into their apostolic grace, to become a people of Kingdom authority walking in their rightful place as believers (Deuteronomy 28:13 - The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.)

Strengthen Families

The enemy has put an all out assault on the family structure in the church, and in the world.  The divorce rate is at the highest it has ever been in society along with the church that mirrors the exact same percentages of marriages that end in divorce of approx 50%.  Teenage pregnancy and single mother homes are at an all time high.  KLM is putting a tremendous focus on training, equipping, praying, and consulting the people of God to make decisions that are conducive to strengthening the family unit.  KLM will continue events like Wednesday Night Family Life night, that is structured to minster to the entire family unit.  With a greater vigor then the enemies to destroy, we come in the Name of Jesus to build up the family!!!!!

Create an environment for Signs, Wonders, and Miracles

It is the heart of this leadership to create an atmosphere that God sees fit to manifest His Glory.  Now more than ever in this day and age the body of Christ needs to know God at such an intimate level.  He needs to be our God, and we need to be His people (Psalms 94:7).  KLM through lifestyles of integrity, character, Godly leadership, praise, worship, prayer, and love, believes that God has and will continue in this upcoming year to create amongst us a climate that is ripe for signs, wonders, and miracles.  What a joy it is to have a place which the Holy Spirit not only dwells, but inhabits.

New dimensions of Praise and Worship

In 2010 more than ever before we as a ministry will be sensitive to what that Lord is saying in the area of praise and worship.  This is a vital piece of the equation to seeing God’s glory manifest.  As we continue down this road, God has shifted our ministry into true Davidic worship.  We will continue to seek the strategies of praise and worship in this upcoming year.  It is a collective effort to create an environment that all men can come into, and be saved, set free and delivered. Psalms 98:1 –“O SING to the Lord a new song, for He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have wrought salvation for Him.”

Create a Dynamic Youth Program

In 2010 we believe that God will continue to strengthen our youth programs into a dynamic group of young people that are on fire for God.  We need a generation that is concerned with the well being of this city, nation, and world.  God is calling a group of young people who are not afraid to stand in a perilous world and declare the truth of Jesus Christ.  We believe that God is calling the laborers in who have a heart to stir up, and facilitate this next dynamic move of God’s glory.  KLM will continue to have dynamic youth services, events, and opportunities for the young people to GET LIT for GOD.

Raise up Kingdom Kids

Not only is it important to raise up a dynamic ministry, but to train our children with sound biblical doctrine that prepares them to experience the world; to teach our children in the way they should go that they would not depart as they grow old (Proverbs 22:6 - Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it).  It is our desire at KLM to see the family unit operating at 100%. This means, fathers are being Godly fathers, mothers are Godly mothers, and our children are Godly children.

Continue to Train and Equip the Body

God calls there to be an apostolic order for one reason and one reason only: that is the perfecting of the saints.  As long as we are on this earth, we need to get into a place of Sozo, which is total salvation.  Then we need to turn around and assist our brothers and sisters to reach their potential in Christ.  As we follow this model we can experience the exponential, radical growth in the Kingdom of God. 

Build Apostolic Teams

There is a need to create teams of empowered people following in their gifting while building up and perfecting the body of Christ.  The church must shift from the one man show mentality, because the task is too large.  Creating teams that walk in the authority and power of Jesus Christ helps to create an environment where change is not only desired, but eminent. In the very nature of the apostolic, these teams will be SENT OUT to operate in their gifting and be a blessing unto the body of Christ.

Evangelism – Prophetic and good news evangelism that empowers the KLM family to hit the streets to win the lost, dying, hurting, and hungry.  There is a deep seeded need for the church to speak words of encouragement, purpose, edification and destiny over the unbeliever’s life.  Walking in power and demonstration of the Word as Jesus commanded and displayed in His earthly ministry.

Deliverance –God desires His people to be free.  The Bible says, “He that the Son sets free, is free indeed.”  Jesus upon the cross offers us Salvation, which in the Greek is Sozo, which means, salvation, healing and deliverance.  These teams that God has birthed in our spirits are intended to create a resource for the believers to come and see a total salvation in their lives.

Prophetic – God has blessed KLM with many who are able to hear the word of the Lord.  We are humbled by the prophetic voice that God has given this ministry.  As we continue in our purpose, it is vital that we continue to train up and utilize the prophetic voice.  God is manifesting His glory through His Word.   John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God…..and the word became flesh!” In this season it is vital that we as the body of Christ are very much able to hear His direction.  Amos 3:7, “Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets.”

Apostolic / Governmental - As we move in these next dimensions of God’s glory we will see many institutions who will desire the shift from a pastoral mentality to an apostolic order.  Our desire is to help churches to make this transition preparing them for new dimensions of God’s glory.
