A Word from Our Director Pastor Joy

Greetings, friends! I am convinced that the calling of God in our lives is staring us right in the face (our students) and we truly have a job to do.

In the book of II Corinthians, Paul shares four principles concerning the ministry that God is calling us to:

  1. We are God’s fellow workers - We are not the boss. God does not work for us, but we work for God. II Cor. 6:1a.
  2. We are not to neglect God’s Grace - We need to be dependent on the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, "not to receive the Grace of God in vain". II Cor. 6:1b.
  3. We are to get to work - "Now is the time of God’s favor," to operate in God's plan, and "now is the day of salvation," sharing God's saving grace to mankind. Il Cor. 6:2.
  4. We are to be good examples - We are not to be "stumbling blocks so that our ministry will be discredited." Il Cor. 6:3.

Please continue to pray for us as we minister to those people that are in such desperate need of help. Thank you so very much for your continued support.
