Empowering Every Believer for Global Mission

Bishop Efraim Tendero challenges the global church to reform by empowering every believer to take an active role in ministry, moving away from a clergy-dominated model. He draws inspiration from the early church, where all believers were engaged in proclaiming the gospel. Tendero emphasizes five key areas for reform: activating every believer for mission, submitting to Christ’s authority over personal agendas, practicing radical discipleship, engaging younger generations in leadership, and living with integrity and accountability. He calls for a united, Spirit-led church that equips Christlike workers to share the gospel across the globe, ensuring that every believer contributes to building up the body of Christ.
