Our Mission
NLIM exists for the purpose of drawing people out of darkness into the Light of Christ and the truth of His Word. (2 Cor 4:5-6) For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
Our Vision
To make, equip, and send out disciples as lights to the world. (Eph 5:8) For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light. (Matt 5:14-16) You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
