Rock International Tribe exists to glorify God in the nations and expand His kingdom in every sphere of life by forming international apostolic spiritual families who, by living in the power of the Holy Spirit and the supernatural realm of heaven, are able to start and sustain relationally connected house churches, compassion ministries, businesses, and other kingdom enterprises committed to bringing individuals, marriages & families, cities, regions, and whole countries under Christ’s Lordship and transformed into His likeness. In short, we are called to the “Reclaiming Of Christ’s Kingdom”.
1) Rock Tribe is an international spiritual family which exists to glorify God and advance Christ’s kingdom by starting churches, compassion ministries, and other enterprises which strengthen the body of Christ and transforms cities, regions, and nations. In short, we are called to the “Reclaiming Of Christ’s Kingdom.
2) Why We Are Called The “Rock International Tribe”:
“R.O.C.K” is an acronym which stands for “Reclaiming Of Christ’s Kingdom,” the main focus of Christ’s preaching and purpose (Matthew 4:17, 23). Rock is also a name used to refer to God (Deuteronomy 32:4) and Christ (1 Corinthians 10:4; 1 Peter 2:4-8), so our name always points us to the centrality and supremacy of Christ and Christ’s mandate of advancing the kingdom of God. The Apostle Peter’s name was changed to “Rock” (Matthew 16:18). This name change points to the possibility that every human being can be transformed into a child of God and be given an important destiny which affects others into eternity (1 Peter 2:4-12). Rocks are solid and not easily shaken, like the Kingdom of God (Heb 12:27).
We use the word “International” to point to our ultimate calling, the expansion of God’s glory in the nations (Psalm 96:3; Genesis 12:3-3; Numbers 14:20; Habakkuk 2:14; Romans 15:19; Matthew 28:18-20; Isaiah 56:7; Revelation 5:9; 7:9). This word also challenges us to fulfill the great commission by “making disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:18-20).The word “Tribe” speaks of an extended translocal spiritual family. We use a family term because God is a Father and Son and builds his kingdom relationally in the context of families, natural and spiritual.We believe that heart-connected relationships can transcend space and time. People can maintain very life-giving relationships over long distances, especially with the communication and transportation technologies like the internet, mobile phones, video conferencing, and jet airplanes. Experiencing the relational “life-line” that comes from being a member of an international spiritual family (“tribe”) is especially important for those on the mission field.
