God's grace is working in you and through you,
and we want to hear about it!
Storytelling Guide
Thank you for sharing your story! Every rewritten story has a turning point when God’s grace changes our lives forever. Your story of His work in you will encourage others to be ready for Christ's return. As you prepare to share, reflect on that turning point and the changes it brought. Remember our mission, vision, and strategies as you inspire others to be ready members of a ready church.
"They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they did not love their lives to the point of death." Revelation 12:11
MISSION
To Be a Ready Church
Being a ready church means that we are experiencing God’s work in us and through us. God’s work in each of us flows from being focused on the promise of Jesus’ return and being faithful in our relationship with Jesus. God’s work in us will lead to God’s work through us. God’s work through us flows from being prepared for every opportunity to be a vessel of God’s supernatural work and by looking to invite others to follow Jesus with us.
