heroes of the faith


We are so excited to share that we are fully supported for the next two years in our service with Mercy Ships!!

"I believe some of the heaviest crowns in Heaven will be worn by hardworking men and women who denied themselves the benefits that society said they deserved, in order to help finance the Great Commission. After all, we can get our reward from men now or from God later (Matthew 6:19-20). Missionaries usually get more recognition than the faithful Christians who support them.

We shouldn't show preference for any one role in our commission. We should hold everyone in high esteem who is fulfilling God's plan for his or her life and working to fulfill Christ's commission. We should point such individuals out to our children so that our children will grow up wanting to be like them. We must not forget that to reach the world with God's Word, it will take a combination of going and sending (Romans 10:14-15). Both actions are vitally important, and people in both capacities can be heroes of the faith."
Excerpt from The Great Omission by Steve Saint

We are so thankful for each one of you who are making our ministry possible by sending us with your finances and your prayers!! We need and rely on both! You are our heroes...true heroes of the faith!!
