There is a Covenant Journey(CVDIP) for church officers to save the church. “Covenant” refers to world evangelization. “Vision” refers to ten million disciples. “Dream” refers to the concrete and realistic prayer that you can actually do. “Image” refers to the power of the Word. These become your lifelong masterpieces after you experience and put them into “Practice.” This is an age of Mason war. If people were to simply do church construction, they would fail. Church officers must stand as Holy Masons in the midst of this Covenant Journey. What kind of Holy Mason must you become?
1. The Holy Mason Who Establishes the Gospel
The Holy Mason is the one who establishes the Gospel to be “truly Gospel.” The Holy Mason doesn’t fear difficulties because the Gospel is the solution to all problems. Therefore, if you accept and transcend problems you will be able to see the answers of “only, uniqueness, and re-creation.” At this time, the works of saving souls will arise through restoration.
2. The Holy Mason Who Establishes the Church
Church officers are Holy Masons who establish the church. The church must actually be “church-like.” Incorrect churches are where only physical, secular, materialistic possessions, and ideas remain.(Genesis 3, 6, and 11) Thus, the church is a model of Heaven that takes the role of a shadow on earth. The essence of the church is following God’s Word. This is the path for victory and saving the age.
3. The Holy Mason Who Establishes the Church in the Field
Church officers of the Early Church raised the church in the field. This was an amazing blessing that was given to the church officers. God grants the answers of “only, uniqueness, and re-creation” to the church officers who are within the Covenant Journey.(CVDIP) Those answers are recorded in the book of Acts. 3,000 fields were revived(Acts 2:1~47) and a lame man was raised.(Acts 3:1~12) During his trial, Paul boldly testified about Christ.(Acts 4:1~12) Philip went to Samaria, a place where Jewish ideologies weren’t accepted and relayed the Gospel to the political field by sharing it with the Ethiopian eunuch.(Acts 8:4~8 and 26~40) A church in the field of Antioch was also raised, where the disciples went to escape persecution.(Acts 11:19~30) As a result, missions arose centered on laypeople and the works of the Gospel being relayed to even Macedonia, Tyrannus, and Rome arose.(Acts 13, 16, and 19)
[Prayer of the Evangelist] Dear God, within the Covenant Journey of the church officer, may I enjoy the blessings of “only, uniqueness, and re-creation” every day. May I become a church officer who raises the Gospel to be truly Gospel, the church to truly be the church, and many churches in my God-given fields.

[Bible Reading] John 3
[Gospel Memory Verse] For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough. (2 Corinthians 11:4)
