The Ministry of Love

The work of the ministry is fulfilling, wonderful and often challenging. 

The Lord pours His grace on us as we serve Him. He grants us divine empowerment and strength. 

We cannot accomplish anything with human strength and wisdom. We are completely reliant on the Lord in our quest to serve Him.

As we minister, we open up and share our lives with people. We become vulnerable. God ministers through our vulnerability.

We share our mountain top and valley experiences. We share our sorrow and our joy. 

We are vulnerable people with very real needs. God cares deeply for each of us. He loves us with an everlasting love.

God chooses to use broken vessels to reveal His glory.

We are fully dependent on God's grace and strength. He empowers and energises us each day.

The  ministry of love is inspired by the power of God's Spirit. 

It is love that is poured out from the heart of God. The Lord enables us to persevere in love and faithful service. 

We purpose in our hearts to serve the Lord no matter what it takes.

God has blessed us beyond our wildest imagination. He sustains us with His love and power. He makes us strong and pliable in His hands. 

We love because He first loved us. We will keep pressing on. 

As the Lord’s willing vessels, we fully submit and commit ourselves to the call of God on our lives.
