Our mission at RLCF: Building a local church as an expression of the Body of Christ. 1: The Holy Spirit is looking for spiritual virgins — ones who are absolutely chaste — through whom He can form the Body of Christ (Luke 1:26). 2: The Body of Christ is conceived only by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35-37). 3: The Body of Christ is formed through those who have the attitude of a bondslave (Luke 1:38-55). The local church must be propagating “Christ-mas” (Christ’s mission) every day through the lives of its members. It is as impossible for you to build the Body of Christ, as it was for Mary to conceive Jesus on her own. The Holy Spirit must do it! To be a bondslave is to bear the “reproach of Christ” – that means: not identifying with the world; choosing to endure ill-treatment with the people of God; valuing the reproache of Christ more than money (Hebrews 11:24-26). You know the Body of Christ is truly being formed through you, when you can rejoice in the benefit others will get from your sacrifice (Luke 1:46-55, Phil. 2:3-8) and suffer inconvenience without complaining (Luke 2:35).
