Our Work
“The model and concept of the purpose driven church and peace plan were introduced and developed By Pastor Rick Warren. The peace plan model is initiated and sustained by the local church, empowering ordinary people to create sustainable transformation in communities around the world. By doing the things Jesus modeled during his ministry on earth, the peace plan inspires individuals to make a difference and bring about positive change.”
At Purpose Driven Church (PDC) PEACE PLAN LESOTHO, we are committed to promoting peace and resolving conflicts around the world. Our work is focused on bringing people together, fostering dialogue, and finding solutions to the complex challenges that face our global community.
The Lesotho Purpose Driven Church (PDC) PEACE PLAN Lesotho is a movement aimed at developing strong, healthy churches and transforming lives in communities. The PDC PEACE PLAN & Initiative seeks to equip pastors with the five (5) biblical purposes of the Church, as outlined in the Great Commandment and the Great Commission, and empower local churches to disciple and mobilize their members to live a life of purpose and mission.
In each country, the initiative begins with a meeting with influential and strategic church leaders to share the vision and discuss the opportunity. This is followed by the formation of a National Steering Committee ( NSC), which provides leadership to the nationwide movement. NSC, in collaboration with an Implementation Team and an International Partnering Church (IPC) Training Team, selects church leaders to undergo the Purpose Driven Church Training process, with the goal of developing local master trainers.
The PDC- PEACE PLAN initiative is designed to provide local pastors and churches with the necessary tools and resources to start a movement of strong, healthy churches and transformed lives in communities. A proven model has been developed, incorporating lessons learned, which can now serve as a blueprint for the implementation of the initiative in all 10 districts of Lesotho.
A Call to the Church
Our world faces seemingly insurmountable difficulties – war and conflict, corrupt leadership, extreme poverty, pandemic diseases and crippling illiteracy. These devastating problems affect billions, not millions, of our fellow human beings. The public and private sectors attempt to find lasting solutions but have little to show for their efforts. We believe the missing component is the faith community – the Church of Jesus Christ. Jesus promised that He would build His Church and even the powers of hell could not take it down. With a guarantee this powerful, the Church of Jesus Christ is able to have a unique impact on the world, making a contribution unlike any other organization. The Church can promote reconciliation, equip servant leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation. Truly the Church is the hope of the world!
