WHAT IS A LIFELINE?
A lifeline is a small group of people who meet with
each other regularly, develop friendship, provide
emotional and spiritual support, learn and discuss
Biblical principles that help each one grow and
mature as a person and advance in character and
integrity. In short, a lifeline is intimate, productive,
godly and life-transforming friendships.

The same principles are desired in our Lifeline groups
1. Salvationcome to know the Lord Jesus Christ in a
deep intimate way as their Lord and Saviour through
the Lifeline. The most important relationship we
should establish is that with God.
2. Support. Lifeline groups are more than just
meetings. We aim to develop deep, loving and lasting
friendships among people who care enough to know
what is happening in other people’s lives and being
there to help one another grow and mature in the faith
and live through life’s challenges with victory.
3. Security. The lifeline should provide a venue where
people would feel safe and secure in trusting their
lives in the hands of others. They know they can trust
each other and find refuge in their friendship in times
of need and crisis.
4. Stimulus. The lifeline group is a source inspiration.
Talents, skills and leadership potentials are
discovered, acknowledged and developed. It should
gauge the fire in our spiritual life and motivate us to
fulfil God’s destiny for our lives.
The Filipino Christian Church is committed to what
Jesus commissioned us to do in accordance to the
Word of God. It is called the Apostolic Mandate found
in Matthew 28:18-20 to make disciples of all nations.
In order to fulfill this, we believe that as a church, we
become bigger as we become smaller. Through our
recent experience, our church has grown through a
combination of one-to-one discipleship and of
outreach small groups which we call the Lifeline
Ministry.
Lifeline groups are small groups that meet together
regularly with the intention to connect an individual to
the church of Christ through friendship, fellowship,
prayer and discipleship. Christianity is all about
relationships- Relationship with God, with His people
and with unbelievers.
As what Paul said, “If anyone sets his heart on being a
leader, he desires a noble task. “ We are therefore
encouraged by your willingness and participation to
undergo this leadership training and the reason
behind this was remarkably stated by Robert Coleman
in his book The Master Plan of Discipleship, “The
answer lies in their seeing the Great Commission as
a lifestyle encompassing the total resources of every
child of God. Here the ministry of Christ comes alive
in the day-by-day activity of discipling.”

CHRISTIANITY STANDS
ON SIGNIFICANT
RELATIONSHIPS:
FIRST TO GOD AND
THEN TO OTHERS
ON SIGNIFICANT
RELATIONSHIPS:
FIRST TO GOD AND
THEN TO OTHERS
We all long for close relationships. Bonds so secure that we can be completely honest and vulnerable. But
often we keep our relationships at a safe and shallow level. We avoid the risk of revealing all that's in our
hearts. God wants us to take the risk. His reward for doing so is the satisfaction of true, deep community.
Transparency will help you move beyond your fears into the realm of knowing others and being known by
them.
CS Lewis, from The Four Loves
"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If
you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it
carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of
your selfishness. But in that casket safe, dark, motionless, airless it will change. It will not be broken; it will
become unbreakable, impenetrable, and irredeemable. The only place outside heaven where you can be
safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is hell.
Mildz, My Life
Loving and having meaningful relationships require taking risks. When we make the decision to love or to
bond, we affirm the possibility of pain and rejection, but we also accede to instances of joy and satisfaction
but most likely the inevitability of an expanse of multi-faceted emotions. Perhaps we need to spend more time
counting the cost of decisions we make and the eternal significance they'll inscribe in our lives.
