What is it that MGNI desires to encourage? In one short sentence - to make disciples who make disciples. Consider it like a spiritual rippling effect. One, who becomes affected, affects another who affects another and it goes on and on. Waves (Grace) moving outwards from a focal point (Christ Jesus) that eventually covers a wide area (the world).
MGNI believes that this makes a great and coherent strategy to maintain the survival of the “Tree of Grace” which sprung forth from the one grain of “Grace-seed” that was sacrificed at Calvary more than two thousand years ago. In fact, this great commission was given by the Lord, Himself in Matthew 28:19-20 - “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”
Fundamentally, God’s grace is a gift that continues to give – an inexhaustible, overflowing fountain of life that never runs dry. Jesus illustrated this by saying, “To the one who believes in Me, streams of living water will flow from within him.” Therefore, one who has been quenched of thirst will in turn quench the thirst of others. The process keeps going, unending, as we encourage one another in discipleship.
MGNI, together with music, will also utilize the real-life stories and true testimonies of those who have been touched by God’s grace, and those who have been personally visited by the Lord, to inspire and enkindle the ardor of the spirit of faithful believers. In the Book of Acts, which put into account the early beginnings of the Church, there were many instances of encouragement being shared through writing, meeting, and singing of songs among the first Christians. MGNI will surely continue in this tradition, but using music as its main platform.
It is true what Proverbs 27:17 says, “Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another”. MGNI will put this advice to practice, and seeks strongly to call every human being to a life of righteousness towards God.
