Our Vision

“I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death” Philippians 3:10

It is our VISION and call, and commitment to point the church back onto the path of making disciples. It is our passion and directive to lead Christians away from our false perceptions and into His way.

We desire to see a church committed to His purpose and poured out to His ways. Then we will see revival through real prayer and devotion to His Lordship.

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalm 119:105 KJV

Into Thy Word Ministries teaches people how to study the Bible in a simple, clear, and concise way, discipling pastors and missionaries, providing seminars, speaking,church consulting, discipleship tools and resources for Christian growth.

Church Growth and Leadership

Speaker: Dr. Richard J. Krejcir

Date: 12/30/2004

References: Psalm 27

Some books pick at the churches flaws and scabs to only inflict more pain and destruction. This book is not about picking the wounds and scabs, but calling the Christians to nurse the wounds so they are healed. Calling for reform so we can be the church as Christ called us to be. I love the church, I have dedicated my life to His service and to His bride the church. It grieves me deeply to see her failing and wounded. I love the church and I hope you do too. I must say this to you, just as you see a warning when you rent a movie even before the previews, so I must give a warning before you read this book. It can be harsh! Because I’m calling people out of their comfortable zone, and to rally together. Because if we love the church we must be willing to get rid of what is hurting her. This will cause us to stretch where we may not want to and move us from our fears into His call. Because I love the church, sometimes we need a sheep dog to guide us back to the Shepherd’s path. Because a good shepherd does not desire the sheep to be lost and will allow the sheep dog to take a small bite to enable the sheep to find its way back onto the path. This book is a sheep dog, thus it may bite you. It certainly has bitten me. But remember the bite is out of love, and we grow best out of overcoming hurt.
