We are a people of the Spirit. We are a people of vision. Birthed in the fire of renewal, still less than one hundred years ago, we have now become a worldwide influence for worship, discipleship, and evangelism in the 21st century. What God has done, and is doing, should fill us with gratitude and awe, and should move us to deep prayer and faith in understanding God’s vision for us in this new century. Who can predict what the Holy Spirit may yet do before the return of the Lord? His vision is that the glory of Christ be revealed among every people and culture. Our church must proclaim Christ to this world in the 21st century with first century fervor.
 

Less than 90 years ago, the Lord raised up this Fellowship with a group of 300 leaders. But, consider what God has done! Together with our fraternal fellowships abroad, we have become a worldwide communion of 35 million people. We gather each week in more than 175,000 congregations. Who can forecast how greatly the Spirit will multiply this church in the years ahead, should Jesus tarry? Can we believe for a worldwide spiritual family of 100 million, or even more? We cannot—we must not—place limits on what the Spirit will do if we remain faithful to the mandate to preach the gospel to all creation (Mark 16:15) and the provision of power to accomplish it (Acts 1:8). We believe the past is a prologue to an unparalleled, sweeping outpouring of the Holy Spirit, as we surrender ourselves afresh to be used as a vital agency for the fulfillment of the Great Commission, bringing all the gospel by all means to all peoples. 

God has used the principles set forth at the inception of this Movement to produce continual growth. These principles remain as bedrock for our future. Therefore, it is with a common heart and purpose, unified by the Holy Spirit in like precious faith, in united effort, and interdependence, that we pledge ourselves to both the advancement and conservation of the work of God.
In 1914, our founders boldly stated, "We commit ourselves and the Movement to Him for the greatest evangelism the world has ever seen. We pledge our hearty cooperation, prayers and help to this end."
 

The foundation laid by our early leaders in the faith is strong. It will bear the weight of the great growth and responsibility the Lord now places upon us at the dawn of this century. We have a forceful vision from the Holy Spirit, and we believe He is preparing us for the greatest advancement of Christ’s Kingdom the world has ever known.
 

We have sought the Lord of the harvest and believe He is giving fresh vision to our Fellowship. With God's help–with the passion and anointing of the Holy Spirit–we will continue to fulfill His desire to reach every person for Jesus Christ. This year, U.S. districts and local churches have passionately expressed their desire to advance God's kingdom in their communities and throughout the world. They have given voice to what they believe the Holy Spirit is saying to His Church and to the Assemblies of God concerning our part in fulfilling the Great Commission. Their collective voices from all over this nation have confirmed the centrality of our threefold purpose to worship, disciple, and evangelize. They have also confirmed our need for a fresh dependence on God to give new life to these core values. Therefore, as we look to the future, we declare our total dependence on the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit as we re-affirm our purpose and seek God to rekindle His passion in us.
