David Hawes
Jesus is so inviting and compelling.
My passion is for people to experience and enjoy Jesus more than anything else in this life by learning to practice His loving presence everyday throughout the day.
Because Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Abundant Life, I am compelled to use the gift of teaching to see the Spirit and Truth set people free and fill them with the life, love and joy of Jesus as they are formed into His beautiful image.
I want to belong to a family-like community who loyally loves the Father, Son and Spirit single-mindedly and wholeheartedly, daily growing in our affectionate love for Him and our sacrificially generous love for one another, compelled by a compassionate love for the lost in our city and beyond.
By helping create Acts 2-like pockets of teaching and training, belonging to Christ and one another, breaking of bread and prayerful worship, I want to see a people whose lives are completely reoriented and reordered around:
- Being with Jesus (Matthew 11:28-30; Acts 4:12)
- Becoming like Jesus (Luke 6:40; 2 Corinthians 3:18)
- Bearing the fruit of Jesus (John 15:5; Galatians 5:22-25)
