The Church is God’s Chosen Instrument…

From my perspective, the music that is made as our partnerships come together, that we get to enjoy, and that ultimately reaches the ears and heart of God is, and must be, a sweet sweet sound.  A symphony.  Scripture calls it a fragrance.  I pray that it truly honors Him.

We believe that the Church is God’s chosen instrument to bring all people of all nations to worship Him.  We value the Church as God’s chosen agent of gospel transformation.  This affects everything that we do.  It motivates us to engage with the Church.  We work in the Church, through the Church, with the Church, on the Church, around the Church.  We work to call people into the church, and we are constantly pushing people out of the church to do the work of the Church.   Ok, you probably get the point, we love the Church.

Recently, this was manifested in our day of training that we held for the Pastors, School Administrators and Directors, and Church leaders.  We believe in these chosen people who are leading the people in our partnership church communities.  We want to empower them to do what we can’t do.  We want to train.  We need to listen.  We won’t quit.  We won’t take the easy road and circumvent the church to accomplish our purposes.  In fact, these leaders embody our purposes.
