About G12 and Statement of Faith (G12 Philippines source)

The Vision of G12 (Government of Twelve) is founded on the great commission given by Jesus. Its main objective is for every member to become a leader who will transmit Christ’s character and form his group of twelve.

Its structure is in four biblical principles: win, consolidate, disciple and send. These principles are basically to win a new person, consolidate him so that he will remain in Christ and disciple him so that he can be sent to extend the gospel through preaching the good news of salvation.

G12 was born through a vision that God gave to pastor Cesar Castellanos. During these last few years the growth of the Christian church in Colombia and in the world has experienced something amazing through this vision.

Many ministries around the world have been witnesses to the growth and multiplication of their members produced by the Vision of the Government of Twelve. This is an effective tool to win and retain thousands of new believers.
