We are two followers of Christ whose eyes have been opened to God’s global purposes through Christ. We have come to realize that the church isn’t here to serve us, that God didn’t create the world for our benefit–He created it for His glory, and He’s doing a lot of things out there that we don’t even know about. We want to help others who know Christ to learn about how His people are suffering for Him all over the world, so that we can pray for them, because they are our brothers and sisters in Christ.
We realize that the Church isn’t about us–it’s about God being glorified and we are His instruments for that purpose.
May God be gracious to us and bless us and make His face to shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you!
Psalm 67:1-3 (ESV)
