Welcome to Casa de Cristo Evangelical Church in Phoenix, Arizona!
There was a huge body of water with many ships on it. Many of the ships were damaged and broken. There were many people in the water and there was one ship picking the people out of the water, taking them on board and taking care of them. The person giving the prophecy said that the other ships were churches that were having problems. The people in the water were the people that these other churches had cast out. The ship picking up the people in the water was Casa. The prophecy was that Casa would take in and minister to many people, from all walks of life, who had been rejected and cast off/out.
All around me was a rough sea and yet somehow I stood. I saw in the water multitudes of people, slipping, sinking in the sea: as if a large ship had gone down and they were reaching out, crying for help. But I did not see a ship.
I stood in safety but they were all in danger and I was confronted with the reality of my position.
I could feel the Lord standing just behind me. Deep within my spirit I could hear three questions as the voices of the people cried out for help. The questions were:
Who are you?
What are you about?
Whose are you?
These three questions are answered for Casa in our Mission and Vision Statements.
The Mission of Casa de Cristo Evangelical Church is
The Ministry Vision is to
(based on the hymn by Fanny Crosby, 1869 )
Rescue the perishing, Care for the dying
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;
Plead with them earnestly, Plead with them gently;
He will forgive if they only believe.
Rescue the perishing, Duty demands it;
Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide;
Our Ministry Focus is twofold
Discipleship is a tool that must be consistently applied in every area of ministry for us to be effective
Relationships must be built allowing new people to quickly become a part of the Casa Family.
The word Bridge means "A span, a way to cross where there was no way before."
God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life.
God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world. He sent his Son to save the world through him. Anyone who believes in him is not judged. (John 3:16-18a - NIRV)
The King James version of John 3:16 says it this way. "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that Whosever believeth in Him should not perish but should have eternal life."
At Casa de Cristo it does not matter what your past has been. It does not matter who you live with and love. What matters to us is that you either believe in Jesus Christ as your personal savior or you want to learn more. Getting to know the love of Jesus is a life changing experience. Do not let your past keep you away from the love of God. One thing you will hear a lot at Casa is "Jesus loves you and so do we." Our doors and our hearts are open because Whosoever truly means You!
