Logo Explained
Ezekiel 47 talks of going deeper (v1-5), it talks of cleansing (v8), it talks of life (v9), catching fish (v10), healing (v12) and producing fruit (v12).
The river in the logo has three strands which represent the trinity it shows the river of life pouring out and flowing over the whole world.
Isaiah 61:1-3 - They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendour.” The oak tree’s roots are being watered by the river of life and the tree is thriving.
The light radiating from the oak of righteousness is a representation of Isaiah 60:1-3 “Arise, shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
The Holy Spirit moves across the earth, bringing salvation, those saved will be planted and rooted in Him through discipleship and then the glory of the Lord will rise upon those disciples and radiate out shining in the darkness displaying the splendour of God and drawing more to Himself.
