| CCG MINISTRIES - AN EXPLANATION
TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT: MISSION AND PURPOSE
Concerned Christians Growth Ministries
is an organisation involving actively committed Christians, from
varying church backgrounds and persuasions. The major
concern of the Ministry is to encourage, and enable people to
grow in maturity of understanding and discernment that will allow
them to make informed faith choices and decisions without any emotional
manipulation. We desire to see people develop sufficient awareness
so that they be able to appropriately evaluate religious propaganda
and avoid being deceived by the subtle seduction of any cults, the occult,
or extreme Christian fringe groups.
Ultimately it would be our hope that
those seeking God and truth may find their search fulfilled in the person
of Jesus Christ. We believe him (rather than any one Christian group
or denomination) to be the only real alternative to leader-dominated
churches, cults, sects or fringe groups, or the promise of power through
occult involvement. Jesus declared that those who followed him and
his teaching would find the truth, and that truth would set them free.
He also stated that when he (the Son) sets a person free, that person will
be truly free (John 3:31-36). Jesus never manipulated or intimidated
people into following him. He gave them the choice, and allowed them
the freedom to follow him, or reject him. We believe people
must be free, and not under any form of pressure, to make their faith
choice - be it in choosing to follow Jesus or making any other religious
choice.
Therefore, CCG Ministries and its Training Institute
seek to provide:
1. Helpful and accurate
information, enabling people to understand possible issues relating to
involvement with cultic groups and other contemporary religious
movements - in order to avoid confusion and alienation, and to enable
informed help to be given to others.
2. Support, encouragement
and help, for those trying to leave, or who have left, any cultic
groups - and also for the families and relatives of cultic group
members, seeking reconciliation for all, wherever possible.
3. Resources that
are accurate and helpful - both from actual primary contemporary
religious movements sources, as well as critical assessments of such
groups.
4. Outreach to members of
the cults - contrasting cultic beliefs with the truths
of the Christian Faith, and presenting the true Jesus Christ
as Saviour and Lord.
