The basis of the Renewal Movement must be Christ's love. WE MUST BUILD A GENERATION OF LOVE, CHRIST'S LOVE. We must love ALL people, even if they hate us, even if they harm us. Never return hate for hate, LOVE THY ENEMIES --- NO MATTER WHAT!!! When the people of God are truely transformed by love, THEN the institutions will be renewed. The Renewal must begin with each one of us renewing ourselves by Christ's LOVE and passing on the loving flame of the Holy Spirit.
To Live In The Spirit, you must have the Holy Spirit living inside you. To have the Holy Spirit living inside you you must invite Him inside and BELIEVE that He is Inside You. Pray: Dear God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus Christ.I admit that I am a sinner and that I know there is no way that I can enter into Your Kingdom based upon the sinful life I have led. I am genuinely sorry for my sins and I ask for your mercy. I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is Your Son - that He was born of a virgin, that He died on the cross to pay for my sins, that You raised Him from the dead and that He is alive today. I trust in Him as the only way of entering into Your Kingdom. I confess now to You, Father, that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and my Lord and I will tell others of this decision.Thank You, Father. Dear Jesus, I open my life to You. Come in, Lord Jesus. I recieve You as my Saviour and King. Come and live in me, give me Your Holy Spirit. Thank You, Lord! I believe You are living in me now, and I am born again of the Spirit. I have a new kind of life in me - ressurection life! Thank You, Father! Thank You Jesus! Thank You, Holy Spirit! Praise the Lord! IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, AMEN.

Disciple building is the building-up of neophytes (baby Christians) to mature, bold Disciples of Christ. Every Christian community MUST be actively invoved in the ministry of disciple-building. This is the New Testament method of "church" growth,the method taught by Jesus Christ! Mature Christians are responsible for building disciples of the neophytes.
