Hey hoppies, lets go thru a test shall we? Ok, lets go!

Can you tell me our church's vision?
.

.
.
Alright, now can you tell me the 23 philosophies of Hope Church movement?
.
.
.
.
.
.
If you can do it without flipping to some sort of reference, then yes, i really really salute you..cos i bloody well cant! and im ashamed to admit so..yea sure ive seen them somewhere or another, but i never did put in effort to memorize or really read them..

what kind of hope church member am i?? i dun even know our vision and philosophy..what have i been striving for all these years? do i know where all my hard work is leading me to? how can i call myself a hope church member and not know our vision or philosophy?

its like walking without knowing where i am going. 

and so, ive decided to memorize our vision and philosophy..and for your sake, i will put them here too.
