 It takes four wings to fly!

Wing #4 - Mission Outreach

We are made for a mission.  It's our fourth primary purpose in life.

 


 
 

6I'll tell you what it really means to worship the LORD. Remove the chains of prisoners who are chained unjustly.  Free those who are abused!  7Share your food with everyone who is hungry; share your home with the poor and homeless. Give clothes to those in need; don't turn away your relatives. 8Then your light will shine like the dawning sun, and you will quickly be healed. Your honesty [a] will protect you as you advance, and the glory of the LORD will defend you from behind.

Isaiah 58:6-8 (CEV)
