We believe there are three incomplete views people need to overcome to be seen as the most compelling, and a beautiful reflection of our Creator:
A diminished view of ourselves and our place in the story of God.
A reduced view of the Gospel.
A incomplete view of our role in the world.
We believe there is a bigger WHO, a greater WHAT, and a different HOW.
Too many people feel like spectators in God’s plan for the world. Many feel excused or excluded from fully engaging—assuming that meaningful work is reserved for pastors, missionaries, or those in "full-time ministry". But the truth is, from the very beginning, God designed all of us to represent Him in His Kingdom work on earth. Each of us were uniquely designed to partner with God in how we live, work, and show up in the world.
Many have a diminished understanding of what participating with God looks like. This causes them to see aspects of life such as work, hobbies, and relationships at best as platforms for sharing Gospel words and, at worst, as necessary evils that lack any redemptive value. What if every Jesus follower saw every aspect of life as space to reveal God’s goodness in the world?
For too long, Westerners have shown up in the world as saviors rather than servants. We have taken leadership rather than recognizing the local men and women God has already raised up. We need a posture shift. Enterprise in lieu of aid. Partnership over paternalism. Mutual flourishing instead of poverty alleviation. Relationships not transactions.
