At 418 Ministries, we are boldly stepping into the vision given by God through Luke 4:18–19. This foundational scripture defines our mission, shapes our ministries, and directs our leadership as we walk in the calling to proclaim good news, healing, and freedom to all. Here’s how the Lord is leading us forward.
Luke 4:18–19
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
Our Vision
