Journeying to the heart of God

We are on a journey to the heart of God, seeking to know this Jesus Christ of the Bible. He is mysterious, simple, beautiful, and friend. What he asks of us is everything. We hold back . . . for a while. Jesus

Serving, mobilizing and equipping others to know Jesus Christ and make him known.

We encourage people to faith steps beyond themselves and living a life of discipleship. Our hearts ache for those who have no voice and no one to tell them about Jesus Christ.

We are staff with Operation Mobilization sent out by ministry partners and a few local churches.

You can take from me no more than my life.--Offrus Greizinger

Oh, how easy it is to be a Christian, so long as the flesh is not put to the trial,
or nothing has to be relinquished; then it is an easy thing to be a Christian.
                                                          --Maeyken Wens

Thus they sang until close to the water's edge, where they were to be drowned.
                                                       --Jacob Mandel and Hendrick Sumer

I am ready to suffer my head to be struck off, much rather than apostatize from
my faith. --Hans Haslibacher

Leadership instinct, funny bone, and a trumpet.

The leadership instinct you are born with is the backbone.
You develop the funny bone and the wishbone that go with it.
-Elaine Agather

The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision.
You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.
-Theodore M. Hesburgh

The three legs on which trust stands are character, competence, and communication.
Much effort is put on competence and communication but character building does not receive as much attention.
