VICTORY SAN PABLO exists to honor God and establish Christ-centered, Spirit-

empowered, socially responsible churches and campus ministries in every nation. Or

as we like to put it, we want to simply HONOR GOD and MAKE DISCIPLES.

WHY WE EXIST
Victory is a member of Every Nation Churches and Ministries family of churches and
ministries. A worldwide movement of churches. As a member church, we subscribe to
the Every Nation mission:

To honor God and establish

Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered,
socially responsible churches
and campus ministries in every nation

Our mission describes why we exist, what we do, how we build and where we go.

1. Why? TO HONOR GOD

Our starting point is the honor of God. Our goal is the honor of God. Our motive is the
honor of God. The chief end of Victory is to “honor Him and enjoy Him forever.” This is
foundational for understanding why we do what we do. It is all about Him, not us.

2. What? TO ESTABLISH CHURCHES AND CAMPUS MINISTRIES

We are a church that is called to plant new churches and campus ministries that reach
every major high school and college campus and every major city in the Philippines.

• Christ-centered
Every Nation churches and campus ministries are to be centered on Jesus Christ, not
for any man, doctrine or experience to take center stage.
17
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18And he is the head of the
body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that
in everything he might have the supremacy.
Colossians 1:17, 18
• Spirit-empowered
Every Nation churches and campus ministries welcome and celebrate the presence
and power of the Holy Spirit to empower us to live lives that honor God and become
effective witnesses to our community.

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my
witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Acts 1:8
• Socially Responsible
Every Nation churches and campus ministries are to demonstrate Christ to the
community and culture that they’re in.
Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to
the needy honors God.
Proverbs 14:31
"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of
these, you did not do for me.' "
Matthew 25:45

3. Where? EVERY NATION

19
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I
have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew 28:19,20
After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count,
from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front
of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their
hands.
Revelation 7:9

HOW WE BUILD
Everything we do at Victory is built around our four core values.

1. Engage culture and community

Because lost people are valuable to God, we must intentionally and strategically
engage on culture and communities.
1
Now the tax collectors and "sinners" were all gathering around to hear him. 2But the
Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats
with them." 3Then Jesus told them this parable: 4"Suppose one of you has a hundred
sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country
and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on
his shoulders 6and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and
says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' 7I tell you that in the same way
there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-
nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
Luke 15:1-7
2. Establish biblical foundations
Because foundations are essential for spiritual growth, we must establish solid biblical
foundations at the start of our spiritual journey.
24
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is
like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams
rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it
had its foundation on the rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of mine and
does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The
rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house,
and it fell with a great crash."
Matthew 7:24-27

3. Equip believers to minister

Because every member is called to be a minister, we must equip all believers in basic
ministry skills. God’s word is the ultimate equipping tool.

"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."
Matthew 4:1

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and
training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for
every good work.
2 timothy 3: 16-17

4. Empower believers to make disciples

Because Jesus expects all disciples to make disciples, we must not only equip them,
but also empower them to make disciples.
19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I
have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew 28:19, 20
