CELL MINISTRY

---

The book of 2Corinthians 5:20 says that we are ambassadors for Christ.  Like any other ambassador here on earth posted to his station country, we are also ambassadors (representatives) of Christ to reconcile the world back to Him. We are posted into the world though we are not of the world.  We are to win the world to Christ. In doing this we give people’s lives a meaning- true meaning in God.

• The main purpose of the cell unit is to be a missionary unit through which outreach will be carried out so that souls can be won. Hence, it is an avenue for soul winning and development.
• It serves as an identity system, that is, everybody must belong to a cell, which serves as a basis of identification.  It gives the individual a face in the crowd and makes the individual a vital, unique member of the church.
• It serves as a place for the exploitation of leadership potentials:  As we win souls and take responsibility over them, we can rise from being a bible study teacher who is responsible for at least five souls he won into the cell to becoming a PCF Leader. A PCF leader is responsible for about ten cells or more. The cell system gives the individual an opportunity to exercise himself in ministry.
• It serves as a unit of fellowship. The cell unit encourages fellowship among brethren, which is necessary for the nurturing of their faith (Hebrew 10:22-25).
• It is a unit to cater for the immediate need of brethren as they arise.
