Lovingly Seeking His
Presence
We understand
that we can find God, experience intimacy, communication and companionship with
Him in His Presence, if we share His love for righteousness.
Supernaturally Depending On
His Provision
We are totally dependent
on Him for everything, and we need and expect miracles of all kinds to sustain
us and confirm the Gospel in our ministry.
Intentionally Looking To
The Poor
We look for
revival among the broken, humble and lowly, and start at the bottom with ministry
to the poor. God chooses the weak and despised things of the world to shame the
proud, demonstrating His own strength and wisdom. Our direction is lower still.
Willingly Becoming A Weak
People
We understand
the value of suffering in the Christian life. Learning to love requires
willingness to suffer for the sake of righteousness. Discipline and testing
make saints out of us, and produce in us the holiness, without which we will
not see God’s face and share His glory. With Paul we rejoice in our weaknesses,
for when we are weak we are strong.
Continually Choosing Joy As
Our Portion
The joy of the
Lord is not optional and far outweighs our suffering! In Jesus it becomes our
motivation, reward and spiritual weapon. In His Presence is fullness of joy,
and with Paul we testify that in all our troubles our joy knows no bounds. It
is our strength and energy, without which we die.
