1. Jesus Christ came to seek and save
the lost (Luke 19:10), and we are His ambassadors in this world (2
Corinthians 5:20).
2. The gospel of Jesus Christ affects the total person and
every facet of life — the individual, the family, the church, the
nation and society (Romans 1:16; 1 Thessalonians 5:23).
3. Every nation, culture and social structure is called to
willingly come under the Lordship of Jesus Christ (Revelation 5:9,
11:15, 19:16).
4. God has called us to:
a) win the lost (Mark 16:15).
b) disciple believers (Matthew 28:18-20).
c) encourage, train and equip leaders for service, regardless of
whether they are called to five-fold ministry (Ephesians 4:11-13),
spiritual gift ministry (1 Corinthians 12:7-11; 28-30), or
“motivational” gift ministry (Romans 12:6-8).
d) build up (edify) the local and universal church (Ephesians
4:8-16).
e) be our brother’s keeper, to meet the practical needs of hurting
people as God give us opportunity (Psalm 112:9; Proverbs 19:17; Luke
4:18).
f) proclaim the Word of the Lord, as the Holy Spirit directs, to
individuals, churches, people groups, cultures and social
structures, in order to carry out God’s purpose in the earth for
positive change and reformation (Jeremiah 1:10; Amos 3:7; Revelation
10:11).
5. We are living in the time of harvest
(Matthew 13:39). Therefore we must do all that God has called us to
without hesitation.
6. We must recognize that the Body of Christ is diverse and
therefore we must seek to cooperate with other God-ordained ministries
and churches (Romans 12:4-5).
7. The call of God on Craig and Terri
DeMo is best served with an organizational structure to facilitate
that call, and there may be others with a similar call that God will
add to that organizational structure, hence Ambassador
Ministries.
