John 15:5, “I am the vine, ye are the branches;
He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much
fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
Just as the Church is interdependent upon Christ and exists because
of Christ, the ministries are branches of the vine-Church. As
it is the will of God that the branches bring forth much fruit, our
ministries are designed and summoned to bring forth much fruit, qualitative
and quantitative (Spiritual and Numerical).
