Our world has changed but not the needs of people. Whether on the road or in our neighborhood, people are in need of a listening ear, encouragement, and knowing they are loved and valued. God has opened so many opportunities for us to be instruments of His care in their lives. Pray that they will one day be reconciled to Him by faith.
Our world has changed but not the relevance of truth and hope. Gods Word is living and powerful. A relevant source of truth and wisdom that helps us navigate the complexities of life. Each growing at a different pace and in different areas under His care. Each being set free as truth becomes our worldview.
Our world has changed but not the attributes and character of God. What an incredible thing it is to be loved and discipled by God. To experience His gentle yet firm hand as He comforms us to the image of His Son. What an incredible thing to see this transformation in the inner man.
Our world has changed but not our purpose. With unreached making up 1/3 of the people in this world, we continue to do our part in equipping and mobilizing the church. A special thank you for those who give and pray towards this ministry.
