A WORD FROM THE HOME
OFFICE
My
encouragement to you for the month of February is to do 1 act
of Christian Kindness to another person. As 2 Corinthians
5:14 tells us: “For the Love of Christ puts us into
Action.” To show that person you care for them through your
kindness. To share with that person what the Lord means to
you. To invite that person to your church.
Volunteer Opportunities: We are looking for volunteers in
various areas at the Home Office and around the World. If
you are interested or know of someone who is interested,
please contact us at 920-494-2289. |
