The Vision of Calvary Chapel Anaheim Hills (CCAH’s Vision)

“The Spirit Led Church in the Whole Counsel of God for its Beliefs and their Consequent Practices”

CCAH’s vision is plainly “Let go, let God” because CCAH is Lord’s church, not Peter’s, my, our, or any human church. So, the Lord’s ministers are not seeking His sheep’s possession, but His sheep’s being to be presented perfectly in Christ Jesus to the Lord, until the Lord comes again (Rom 8:4, 14; Mat 16:18; Col 1:29; 2 Cor 12:14).

Gospel of Jesus Christ

 

Today is November 25, 2020.  A pastor and his family were invited to our home in the Thanksgiving season. He asked me CCAH’s vision, expecting a particular plan for the future on the earth.

I said, “I have the vision that I witness Christ, the word of God, and the word of God in my life by the Spirit anywhere and anytime until rapture or death.  I as His bondservant am ministering to and teaching every word of God to His sheep -- as to the Lord, not to men -- to be led by the Spirit and to live daily by every word of God wherever and whenever. Every morning I am often excited how our Lord is leading today. CCAH is the Spirit Led Church in the Whole Counsel of God for its beliefs and their consequent practices.”  

However, he did  not understand my answer quietly. Then, I told him about how the Lord has led His own church, CCAH – Jesus told Peter of neither your church nor our church, but of “My church” (Mat 16:18) bought with His bloodshed --  not depending upon the numbers of members and donations but responding to them by depending upon the owner, the Lord, His words, or His spirit,  so far, such as staff and me as the followers of Him through moment-to-moment prayers including repentance, request for God and for us, hearing of even His still small voice, patiently waiting, glorifying Him, etc., daily expository studies of every word in the Bible, ministers  – either paid or volunteer – with Joy, not much anxious of tomorrow, use whatever given by Him for God and for our neighbors with willing mind,   thanks for all increase by Him, not by us -- over 300 local members, almost 2 million members through internet, 16 unreached facilities, over 10 books published, trade-marked CCAH PRESS®, over 20 mission fields, veterans, the homeless, the elderly, the drug addicts,  etc. --- with Proverbs 3:5-6.  Then, he understood it.   Here it is excerpted from the book of “The Truth Matters: Even in Covid-19” https://calvarychapelanaheimhills.com/Books.htm

       “In Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;  In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths,” all is all.  First, we should trust in the Lord 100 % from our heart, that we would trust in the whole scriptures every word of God. Second, we might have understood our life by some words of God, spiritual experiences, or human thoughts, before the Covid-19. But we should not lean on our understanding – not rely on our understanding and move forward -- not pursuing only on offline services. God’s thoughts are more than the sand in the sea (Psalm 139:17-18). So, we would not set up a dogma upon our understanding, not put the newly coming ways in our frame of the dogma. Then in “all your ways,” which we may respond to, we should apply His word to all our ways (diversities or varieties), that we are searching which word in the whole scriptures is applicable to a particular way which is open before us, walking after the Spirit, not after flesh. We respond to a newly coming way, leaning on an applicable understood word of God and moving forward because we trust in Him or every His word with all our heart. We acknowledge that God allowed “all your ways” such as the Covid-19 because even a sparrow would not fall to ground without God’s will (Mat 10:29).  In another way, so do we live, as we shall live by every word of God (Luke 4:4)…………...”

In His grace, peace, and love always to every sheep on the earth,

Wayne Kim

His bondservant  

 

Today is December 11, 2017. God’s continuing Work through His Church in Acts 29!

Several years ago, I joined in a mission conference of over 1,000 participants. I wouldn’t forget that many participants asked me a racial background question every meal time, although then I had lived over 30 years in the United States and have been an American citizen.  Then, almost all participants were whites. They might have had a curiosity or something else. We (I and Staff) didn’t think they had a bad intent but we didn’t know their hearts. No staff had asked me such a question despite most whites. What if I were a white?    Nobody would have asked such a question. Then, through fervent prayers to let go and let God, God led us to publish the book of De Facto Partiality. Today we are so thankful to our Lord.  Amazingly, our Lord as the holder of power is working continually through us to teach all the word of God to “12 local places, whites over 50%, and online sheep” toward all nations, by the excellent way of Agape love (KJV Great Commission & Great Commandments), adding His sheep to CCAH His church (toward 200 sheep locally and over 1 million sheep through internet), regardless of race, gender, age, wealth, or education.  God’s continual works to teach all nations through internet, by liberating from the racial partiality or any partiality, has been so exciting us always. It was confirmed by newly established Calvary Global Network (CGN) through Pastor Brian, in addition to Calvary Chapel Association (CCA). Also, we give thanks to the Lord for the western cultured Saints to seek a reason to understand the word of God rather than the other cultured to seek a testimony form the word of God, as well as for English today commonly use, like the Greek language in the New Testament time. Many ministers who use other languages translate English into their home languages in order to teach their people. We ministers are just followers of the Lord, serving joyfully as to the Lord, though we don’t know tomorrow.   Our Lord is continually building His church, i.e. God’s continuing Work through CCAH His Church in Acts 29.  How so thankful that He is amazingly building CCAH, as we did not expect at the birth of CCAH.   Soli Deo gloria

 

We are often asked of the question of CCAH's vision in particular by the people.  
Brother Wayne's response letter to them on March 25, 2009 is attached. 
    

To Whom It May Concern: 
Greeting in the Lord. 
 This morning, I as senior pastor gave thanks for your heart. 
We have the CCAH's vision but we did not try to communicate it to
the people. So, we should make the people understand the CCAH's vision, by
explaining what our Lord has led CCAH
 so far according to His vision rather
than what we have done our best according to our vision.  God revealed us
to Isaiah 55:8-11 during the morning prayer.
(Isaiah 55:8-11)
8
 " For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
      Nor are your ways My ways,"
 says the LORD.
      9
 " For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
      So are My ways higher than your ways,
      And My thoughts than your thoughts.”
      10
 For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
      And do not return there,
      But water the earth,
      And make it bring forth and bud,
      That it may give seed to the
 sower
      And bread to the eater,
      11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
      It shall not return to Me void,
      But it shall accomplish what I please,
      And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

The CCAH's vision is stated on the
 church bulletin.
Vision Statement: 
 Calvary Chapel Anaheim Hills (CCAH) has special vision
to restore scattered, dismayed, afflicted, and lost sheep, by building up
their Christian Characters produced by the
 Holy Spirit, to be just like
Jesus. They are becoming members of CCAH, producing other new members by
gathering such lost sheep and developing their Christian Characters,
through verse by verse inductive expository bible study, as well as
non-believers and carnal Christians are so, by offline & online. (Jeremiah 23:1-4; Romans
5:1-5)

Jeremiah 23:1-4 (before planting CCAH, God revealed the same verses to
Wayne & Lily after each individual prayer.)
1
 "Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!"
says the LORD. 2 Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel against the
shepherds who feed
 My people: "You have scattered My flock, driven them
away, and not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for the evil
of your doings,"
 says the LORD. 3 "But I will gather the remnant of My
flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and bring them back
to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. 4 I will set up
shepherds over them who will feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor
be dismayed, nor shall they be lacking,"
 says the LORD.

Romans 5:1-5 (Our
 Bible study group 7 years before CCAH's establishment
got the verses from the Lord, so that we started the bible study in the
name of
 "Christian Character Builder."; One of the group is pastor T K Park,
who is one member of CCAH board.)
“1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have
 peace with God
through our
 Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by
faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory
of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing
that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character
;
and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of
God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to
us.”
How God has worked through CCAH so far:
(1)    20 Meetings to know our Lord more and more are open in 4 facilities –
City Community Center, Fountain , Sunrise, &
 Telacu - & in 4 different
languages – English, Farsi,
 Korean, & Spanish.  More than 150 members are
registered but due to our lack of maturity & faithfulness we sometimes fail
to edify them well in the unity of Christ at CCAH. Please pray for our efficient
 
ministry & them to be edified by the Holy Spirit &
  the living Word of God in order to produce
other members of CCAH.
(2)    Mission for 4 Clusters is open 1.

 ";
(4)   
 Korean School of Ministry (Calvary Chapel Seminary) begins on 9/21/09

(5)    Other things - Our Lord is continually working so much in His way
through CCAH. We'll talk about them face to face.
Thanks the Lord to open your
 heart. We would like to encourage you 
to do faithfully whatever our Lord leads, wherever & whenever.

In His love always
,

Bro. Wayne
