Vision
The vision is to fulfill the commission: “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, Because the LORD has anointed me;...He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted. To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners;” Isaiah 61:1 NAS.
Taken from this, Pure’s vision is to enable girls to be able to recognise and resist unhelpful peer and media pressures and realise the truth that they are created in Gods image. And secondly, “These older women must train the younger women ... to live wisely and be pure” Titus 2:4-5 NLT, to work with girls (and now young people generally) to teach them how it is possible to live God’s way and not compromise, so they are equipped to deal with all the peer and media pressures that fill today’s culture. Each member of the Pure team, including all volunteers, arts practitioners and trustees are committed Christians who fully support the Charities vision.
The dream is a golden sea of faces - golden because his light reflects from them -
A glow surrounds them.
They are not afraid
They are free
Free from chains of despair
Ropes of rejection
Free from lies that bound them
They know the truth
They reflect the truth
Their faces are real
They don’t compromise
They are dangerously Pure
Infectiously radiant
Contagiously radical
Completely themselves
They know their father
Are rooted in his love
His beat is what they dance to
His love is where they come back to each day
His love is where they rest
His love is where they know ‘who I am’
His love is their starting point
They don’t need disguises
They don’t hide behind makeup
They are deliciously free to celebrate the beauty God has created them to be
With no need to prove themselves
Or appear anything that they are not
Rise up! They’ve heard the call
They are set apart, Pure, totally free
They don’t need a mans affection to feed their desire to be found attractive
They know their fathers love
They are satisfied to wait for God’s best.
They are not bound by fashion
These radical warriors are set to bind up the broken hearted, set captives free
They are these oaks of righteousness
They restore beauty for ashes
Through the victory of Jesus
They know that victory in their lives
They know the impossible will happen
They’ve seen it
Listen… listen to the beat beginning
The sound rising… into a crescendo
Listen to the melody
Hear their song
Can you hear it?
The anthem of freedom rising- truth exploding
The sound of marching feet
They are coming in
Prodigals returning
See the daughters march
They are coming
Rising from the schools
No longer apathetic
No more lethargy
They are motivated
Full of purpose they can see the goal
Can you see them?
This army of women rising
They will crush Satan under their heal
They do not fear, they are free
Can you hear them?
As they march - salvation springs every place their feet tread
Joy bursts in shabby school toilets
Its coming!
