It's our vision to have single people enjoy their gift of singleness until this phase of their life comes to an end. Some will continue on in this gift until Chrsit returns. It's our vision to have singles not be the background but to take their rightful place in leadership and ministry. It's our vision for singles to please God in all areas of their life. It's our vision for Sinlges in the Christian World to understand the blessing in waiting and staying pure. It's our vision that only God can givethe understanding that Singleness is not a curse or a punishment but it's a time to celebrate. VIP Singles' Ministry: It started a few years ago when a sister in VIP stepped up and answered the call of God to start a ministry for the Singles of Victory In Praise Church. Alberta, although not a minister felt that the singles needed a place to be free to be single. A Place to meet and greet. A place to have equality. She did not want to create a meat market atmosphere. Making it a place where the focus would be, "how to get the hookup" but it would be a place where ministry of the hurts, habits and hangups would take place. A place where men and women could educate one another. A place where people could be themselves and have fun. A place where you could bring your family and friends and know that there will be no judging but love would abound. After two years, Alberta was called to move on to the next phase in her life. She was engaged to be married and a call went out for a replacement from within the group. Someone who would understand her vision and continue to group in that direction. A minister at VIP, Elder Linda, prayed and asked God to bring someone to the forefront and God Said, "why not you." Linda feeling overwhelmed did not answer God nor did she want the position. After several months, She conceded to God and His plan and took on the Sinlges' Ministry. Under Linda's leadership, the ministry swells with grown and then deflates with nongrowth. People come and go but she is faithful to the original message of the heart that was expressed over four years ago now. This ministry has began a small group on a weekly basis that meets in her home and studies the word of God and how to apply it to everyday life. They have monthly social outings and meet when their schedules permit. They have monthly ministry opportunities where they take the gospel beyond the four walls of VIP. The one thing that Linda is blessed to have an opportunity to implement is the annual Singles retreat that has become an annual cruise. This will allow her to spread the ministry at VIP for Singles' nationwide. She has developed a leadership team that works with her to bring the vision of God to reality. VIP Singles Ministry is growing not just in numbers but in sprirt. Linda and the leadership team are happy to be apart of what the Lord is doing in the lives of those in this ministry. Most importantly they are happy that God is still working on them to be all that He wants them to be. Join the ministry today. It does not matter, if you are a part of VIP church or not.
