To see believers across the world surrendered to Christ, serving the church with their spiritual gifts, and multiplying disciples who live out their gratitude to the Father through Spirit-empowered obedience.
Heart of a Fish exists because God created humanity for Himself, yet every person is born unable to know, love, or serve Him apart from Christ. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus restores relationship, and through His Spirit, He empowers believers to surrender, obey, and walk with Him. This ministry exists to call people back to their Creator, to awaken them to their true purpose, to equip surrendered believers to serve the church with their spiritual gifts, and to raise up disciples who live out their gratitude to the Father through Spirit-empowered obedience.
It is the mission of Heart of a Fish to proclaim the truth of the living God, to teach believers how to walk with Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit, to minister to the needs of the church, and to multiply faithful disciples who desire to serve the church out of gratitude to the Father.
