OUR MISSION…

Engage hosts events and services providing opportunities for local Churches, Christians and those exploring faith, to unite in large public venues. We gather for worship, the word, and ministry, encountering Jesus, His presence, power and healing touch. God's tangible presence and physical healing are often encountered in an Engage event.

As a ministry, Engage operates with 3 biblical core values that work to lead people into a greater relationship with Jesus…

1. Equip

An equipped believer is an empowered believer. It’s our mission to not only inspire, but to educate the un-churched and Christians of all ages with the living and active word of God. It’s one thing to believe, but to truly live by faith and to see God active in our daily lives, our journey must be walked with a deep understanding of scripture. The Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 said “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

Our first priority as a ministry, is to establish truth with the word. We strongly believe that equipping people of all levels of faith, with a clear understanding of what the Bible says about God, His character, plans, purpose and our relationship with Him, will stir those who receive to grow and be empowered to better interact and engage with Him.

2. Engage

All throughout scripture, from the smallest to largest degree, we see how God revealed himself to men and women, delivering the greatest breakthroughs, revelations and victories brought about by an engagement with God. Through hearing his voice, seeing circumstances change, provision brought forth, healing, breakthroughs and more, God is a loving father who longs to be known by those who seek him.

Rising on the platform set out by scripture, our ministry aims to activate believers and those growing in the faith, after being equipped with the word, to engage with God on deeper levels. Through the bible, prayer, praise and worship, Engage aims to provide a space where young and old gather together to activate their faith, creating an environment of open hearts for God to move to the point of life changing encounter.

“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” - Jeremiah 33:3 NIV

3. Encounter

When we seek him, we find him. We believe that as a result of faith in action, being equipped in the knowledge of God through his word and engaging him through praise, prayer, worship and faith, we will encounter the Holy Spirit as promised by Jesus in John chapter 14:15-17. The Apostle Paul himself said “my message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.” - 1 Corinthians 2:4-5

As a ministry, we believe that relationship with God is not only reliant on scripture, but an everlasting relationship the Holy Spirit. When the Spirit of God is welcomed to move, transformation and revelation takes place, unbelievers see, sick bodies are healed, lives are changed and people are shaken to live for more from heaven above. It’s in this place, that Jesus is revealed.

oUR TEAM…

Jesse Cross

Cfan School of Evangelism - Class of 2013

Jesse Cross is the founder of Engage, a ministry focused on introducing the reality of Jesus to all ages through God’s word, combined with the opportunity for genuine encounter with the Holy Spirit. Jesse was raised in church life where most of his family were involved in leadership, pastoral and worship ministries. In his early years Jesse attended C3 Bible College before being recognised and ordained as a Pastor in the Christian Outreach Centre movement of Churches, now known as INC.

Over a period of 10 years after college, Jesse served in his local church as the youth pastor and assistant pastor. In 2013 Jesse was prayerfully selected as 1 of 100 international students to attend Reinhard Bonnke’s School of Evangelism at the Christ for all Nations Headquarters in Orlando, Florida USA. It was during this season that God imparted the call of evangelism, teaching him many of the lessons that he now uses to equip people to engage with God, from the basics of salvation through to discipleship. Jesse places a high value on ministering with the word and the Spirit, ensuring that people not only hear about Jesus, but also encounter Him, fulfilling the pattern shown in the scripture.

Jesse believes that if people are educated, they are equipped, and that it is through developing a greater understanding of God’s word that we are better able to engage and therefore encounter.

Jesse preaches with a passion and enthusiasm to share the gospel in a way that is easy to understand and apply to the lives of those with no, little or lots of faith. Jesse preaches from a broad range of ministry experience, education and Holy Spirit led revelation, being sure to include all ages in the life-changing message of the Gospel.
