The great thing to remember is that God does not call the equipped, He equips the called. – Oswald Chambers The aim of all true Christian service is not success, but obedience. – A.W. Tozer The Bible is the foundation for everything we need to live a life pleasing to God. – Billy Graham If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity. - C.S. Lewis God tests us in the small, private places before He uses us in public. Obedience in secret prepares us for adventure in faith. - Joy Dawson God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply. - Hudson Taylor Go where you’re not qualified to go, and you’ll find God has already gone before you. - Loren Cunningham When God tells you to do something, you don’t need to understand — you need to obey. - Corrie ten Boom The real calling is not a certain place or career but to everyday obedience. - Brother Andrew If a commission by an earthly king is considered an honor, how can a commission by a Heavenly King be considered a sacrifice? - David Livingstone I’m not afraid of failure; I’m afraid of succeeding at things that don’t matter. - William Carey

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ
How do I find God’s calling for my life?
Discovering God’s call for your life starts with what He’s already asked us to do—love God and love others. This starts in community as you serve others. In the process you will discover your gifts and develop a skill set. And then, when you find where your skills meet a need that you’re passionate about, you will have found purpose a calling from God.

Leviticus 19:18, Mark 12:29-31, 1 Corinthians 12:27-28
How do I hear God's voice?
First off—you really can hear God’s voice. Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them” (John 10:27). God speaks in many different ways—through the Bible, in dramatic encounters and through His “still, small voice”. One of the most helpful ways to grow is by getting mentored in a community that can help you learn when you’re hearing God versus your own thoughts.

1 Kings 19:12, John 10:27, Romans 1:20
Does God care about my gifts and passions?
God made you with unique passions, skills, and gifts. Don’t throw them out to “be a missionary.” God wants to use your gifts to change the world. He needs missionaries that are gifted in media, music, fitness and administration in addition to preaching and pastoral work. God gave you your passions for a reason. If you allow Jesus to use them you will begin one of the most exciting journeys of your life.

Genesis 12:2, 1 Corinthians 12:27-28, Colossians 3:23-24
Can I overcome my past?
Your past doesn’t disqualify you from serving God. It gives you a launchpad to experience God’s breakthrough. But it’s hard to get freedom by yourself. We all need a community that loves us enough to ask the hard questions, and help us continue to overcome our past. From there, you get to help others overcome.

Jeremiah 29:11, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 8:37
Why should I go to the nations?
We go to the nations because Jesus asked us to. Every person on earth is loved by God and deserves to know God’s love. Jesus commissioned His followers to “Go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). We believe reaching the nations is not an optional extra to the Christian life, but what we’re born to do.

Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:15, Romans 10:14-15
How do I find answers to the hard questions?
There are a lot of hard questions about faith. Many of them have clear Biblical answers while others need new thoughtful discussion to figure out. But before you search for answers, you want to make sure you’re surrounded by people who love and live God’s word. If you plug into a multi-generational community with a history of studying and following the Bible, the answers will come.

Proverbs 27:17, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Hebrews 10:24-25
