About Us > Our Vision

The Bible tells us without a vision the people perish (Prov. 29:18). Our vision is to build a relationship with Jesus, with one another, and transform our world from house to house, city to city and nation to nation. We are called by God to be an international family of churches connected through relationship; living the Kingdom – transforming our world. Jesus only did what He saw His Father doing (John 5:19) and He calls us to do the same. The DOVE International family is called to keep actively involved in what the Lord is doing in the world today. We desire to empower, train, and release God’s people at the grass roots level to fulfill His purposes. Jesus values people, and He has called us to see the Father working in those whom the Lord has placed in our lives.

As we pray and “watch to see what He will say” (Hab. 2:1), we find that which the Father is doing, and we can then respond and join Him in His work. We are motivated by the Kingdom of God, which is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

In order to contribute the most to God’s overall purpose for us, we are committed to continuing the wholehearted pursuit of the Lord and the specific vision and calling that He has given us—to build the church with an “underground” focus in the nations of the world. This focus is fulfilled as small groups of believers, committed to the Lord and to each other – connected to local congregations and networks, and learn to pray and obey the Lord together. Simply put, these are our “roots,” and our continued focus today. You could say that the very DNA of who we are as an international family of believers in Jesus Christ today is to love Jesus, love His people and love a broken world. May Jesus Christ be honored and glorified as together we experience living the Kingdom – transforming our world!
