On Government of 12 “You will be a father of many nations. Your descendants will be as numerous as the stars in the sky. All nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.” GOD Our Vision God made a covenant with Abraham to increase his numbers so that he could be a father of many nations (see Gen 17:2-4).This Abrahamic covenant is still relevant to us as a church of Jesus Christ (see Gal 3:6-9).We are called to “father the nations ”.The G12 Vision is essentially this – to make each of us in PPHC-Baguio a father of multitudes. The strategy to achieve this is To Win, To Consolidate, To Disciple and To Send. The Government of 12 (G12) is a cell church model started by Cesar Castellanos, Senior Pastor of International Charismatic Mission (MCI) in Bogota, Colombia. The G12 model enhances the current PPHC-Baguio cell church system and allows it to disciple leaders and multiply groups. The basis for the number 12 is the example of Jesus and his 12 disciples. He chose 12 to be his helpers in ministering to the masses (see Matt 9:35-10:1). He stayed with them continually, hence, there is a permanence of relationship. He imparted himself and modeled his life for them to follow so that in turn they were able to lead and disciple others. Other major reasons for the number 12 are that it is the Biblical number for governance: •Israel was organised into 12 tribes (see Num:1-2) •Solomon had 12 governors (see 1 Kgs 4:7) Characteristics of G12 PPHC-Baguio has transitioned into the G12 model with effect from 2002 starting with the Pastor mentoring his 12 and leading a cascade of these relationships. For starters, our church have been organized into broadly three Networks, namely, the Men ’s Network, the Women ’s Network and the Youth Network. In so doing, members will no longer be confined to think within geographical boundaries. Instead, evangelism and discipling will now take place in homogeneous settings across geographical borders.
