When I think of spring, I think of flowers blooming, April showers and of course Mother’s Day! This holiday is one of the most observed holidays in America and around the world. Statistics have shown that phone traffic spikes 37% to calls home and around $14.6 billion is spent on gifts for moms! At Trinity Church, we take the time to honor all of the incredible women at our annual Girlfriends’ Brunch. Although it falls on Mother’s Day weekend it’s our mission to observe ALL the women in our lives. Our theme this year is LOVE ON LOCK! We are privileged to have Grammy-nominated group FOREVER JONES as our featured artist! FOREVER JONES is well known for hits such as He Wants it All, Hold Me Still, and Get Ready. THE SCOOP had the opportunity to ask the women of FOREVER JONES the importance of celebrating and honor-ing mothers and daughters of all ages.

Mother and Cofounder, Kim Jones, said: “I have lived as a daughter, sis-ter, mother, and currently, I am en-joying the privilege, and honor of Grandmother. Or as my grandyum-mies refer to me as “TaTa”. I honor and celebrate my mother who is the most incredible example of everything that God had in mind when he created a woman! She is not perfect, but perfect for the title of “Mother”, by continu-ing the legacy of giving JESUS, I have given my daughters broad, and strong shoulders on which to stand to go further and do more for the Kingdom of God than I could in my lifetime.”

Wife and mother of two beautiful daughters, D’Jeniele Jones, chimed in, saying: “I love be-ing a homemaker, with the unique privilege of traveling along side my family in minis-try. Being in ministry alongside my family has caused me to have a lot more respect for women in my family. I see them as strong Women of God and his business partners.”

Younger daughter Dominique “Doe” Jones added: “FOREVER JONES is a family oriented min-istry. We focus on connecting families with God. Being in ministry with my family has made me a very strong leader. I’ve learned to speak my mind and obtain my own voice. I have had such an amazing time hanging out with my family members and doing life with them.”

So many lessons can be learned from the FOREVER JONES group, they have learned to do life with each other and still honor the women they are doing life with. With all the hustle and bustle of shopping for Mother’s Day, don’t lose sight of the impor-tance of honoring the special women in your life. Take this day and everyday to stop and celebrate the women (mother, sister, daughter, and friend) in your life!

My Father’s Heart COMMITMENT IS A CHOICE

by Rich Wilkerson, Sr

Did you know the word commitment has two different definitions? One involves dedication to something; the other is an obligation that restricts personal freedom. To me those are drastically different situations, but if you think about it the only difference is your state of mind when you make the commitment. Is it voluntary—a commitment of the heart, or do circumstances outside of your control force the commitment on you?

When I look at the commitments in my life, I can’t help but think about how blessed I am. My commitments are all born out of dedication! They all take work, but I don’t think of any of them as work.

• I am committed to my marriage to an amazing, talented woman. I wasn’t forced into my marriage, I chose to pursue and adore Robyn, and I am blessed to call her my wife. I renew that commitment every day.

• I made a commitment to raise four godly boys, and I remain committed to supporting them as they each answer the call God has placed on their lives. My boys bring joy and wonder to my life. And let’s not forget my gorgeous daughter-in-loves and grand darlings! All of my children are my happiest legacy.

• I committed to answer the call to ministry God placed on my life. Then I committed to take the Gospel around the world. Not only have I been able to travel to incredible places and meet wonderful people, I had the opportunity to watch God work in and through millions of lives. I remain committed to the community God has called me to here in Miami, and to my remarkable Trinity family!

Do you see a trend here? Every one of these commitments, these dedications to something outside of myself, actually enriches my life! More than that, every commitment in my life affects my larger community.

A FATHER’S COMMITMENTSI love being a father. To me it is a precious gift and the most important responsibility of my life. I was blessed with an amazing father, John Wilkerson. His dedication (commitment) to his family, his community, and his role as a spiritual leader shaped my life from day one. I grew up learning the importance of compassion, the value of hard work, and the amazing power of love.

My father taught me the significance of supporting your children, and of correcting them when they need it. He taught me what it is like to be a leader, both in and outside of the home. Some of the most important lessons I learned from him where not those taught on purpose, but those I learned by watching him fulfill his commitments as he interacted with others. I learned how to be a man who cares, who listens, and who responds. These are all lessons I’ve worked to pass on to my sons. And they are lessons I’m sure they will pass on to their own children.

My father followed the biblical example of fatherhood. He changed countless lives in the

5

world, starting with his children and extending to every life touched by those children. All of the work Robyn and I do in Miami is a direct result of the model taught to us by the biblical examples of our fathers.

A COMMUNITY OF FATHERSThe role of the father is vitally important in the Bible. Not only is Scripture full of instructions for fathers, God’s Word also contains many reminders that fathers represent the role God meets for all of humanity.

“As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him” (Psalm 103:13).

Fathers are to love their children, protect them, guide them, and correct them just as God loves, protect, guides, and corrects His people. This biblical role of a father is important not only in the family; it spills over and influences the community as well.

My heart breaks when I see the children in Miami who have little or no contact with their fathers. My father

had an important role in my life, in shaping me into who I am. My father was also a living embodiment of God’s love. Because I understood and experienced my father’s love, I was and am able to understand and fully experience God’s love.

In Miami, the number of single-parent homes is over 57%. This is 20% higher than the national average. Most of these single-family homes survive at or below the poverty level. The children in these homes have often never experienced a father’s love. They have never experienced the biblical model of the father and mother

working together to raise children to understand and embrace the love God grants each of us.

It is hard to accept something as true if you haven’t experienced it yourself. If you have never experienced the unconditional love of a parent, how can you ever expect and believe you are worthy of the unconditional, uncompromising love of an all-mighty, perfect God?

As Followers of Christ, our commitment, our dedication, should be to step into that gap. We are to go out and share God’s unconditional love with those around us. We most go out and stand in as “fathers” to those who have never experienced the love of an earthly father. We do this to build a community of believers who finally have the opportunity to experience God the Father’s Love.

“See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him” (1 JOHN 3:1).

My ultimate commitment, the ultimate dedication of my heart, is to reach out to those who don’t know our heavenly Father. I make a commitment to never stop sharing

God’s love with those around me. I make a commitment to serve the c o m m u n i t y He has called me to. I make a commitment to let every facet of my life, every

commitment I make, reflect His love in my life. I make this commitment with a free and open heart. Will you make the same commitment?

I love being a father...

It is a precious

CHHEARDROUND

THEWOR

LDby Richardy

Blanchard

IT BEGAN LIKE ANY REGULAR SUNDAY service at Trinity Church. Then

Pastor Rich unexpectedly called the congregation to stand to their feet

and directed us to turn and look towards the south. He began calling

out the various cities, states & countries positioned south of the church.

Immediately he had everyone turn their attention west and did the same.

Then north, and then finally east. Each time he directed our sight to a

specific direction he asked, “Do you see what I see?”

In that moment we weren’t sure where he was going with his sermon

but the excitement in his voice began to stir something in our hearts.

We wanted to see what he saw! We sat down still puzzled but we knew

from that day forth that Trinity Church would never be the same. Pastor

Rich’s face beamed with joy in a way I had only seen a few times before.

I knew at that moment the unexpected was about to happen in the life

of Trinity Church. God was about to do something beyond our wildest

dreams. God was about to do what only He can do: the impossible. That

day Pastor Rich revealed that we were launching three more Trinity cam-

puses: Trinity San Diego, Trinity Harlem and Vous Church downtown.

Since the announcement many changes have taken place. Families have

relocated, interest meetings have been held and renovations have be-

gun. Many of you who were present for that unforgettable sermon may

be wondering how things are going with our additional campuses. I had

the opportunity to get the latest scoop on our campuses and our new

campus pastors.

VOUS CHURCH Our Vous Church is led by Pastors Rich Jr and DawnCheré Wilkerson. They had a burning desire to reach Downtown/South Beach area of Miami with the hope of Jesus ever since their first Vous Conference in South Beach four years ago. When asked about Vous Church they said:

“Living in a city with millions of people and so many isolated and alone, the need for the Gospel to be furthered has never been greater. Over the

last two years we have been working with the leadership of Trinity to cast vi-sion and plan for the 2015 launch. The mission is very simple - to bring people who are far away from God close to God. As we often say at Trinity, Jesus is our mes-sage and people

are our heart. Vous Church, just like Trinity, is a place where ordinary people worship and serve an extraordinary God. Our pursuit is not religion but a personal relationship with God.

Last year when we announced the launch of Vous Church we didn’t have a location or a launch team, and definitely no staff, but we knew that if we took the first step of obedience then God would start to reveal the journey step by step before us. Launch-ing Vous church has brought us back to the be-ginning of the process: casting vision, gathering a team and starting outreach. And it all rests on the foundation of praying crazy faith filled prayers - God is our only hope! We don’t have a perma-nent gathering place for Sundays yet, but we have had three gatherings at the Historic Lyric Theater and they have both been very special. Every other week our Vous Crews gather all over the city for small group fellowship and growth. One thing we have established since the beginning – there is no rush to pull it all together quickly. Healthy things grow. Our focus is to keep it healthy and trust that God’s timing is perfect. It’s been thrilling to see people who were isolated and alone in our big city find friendship and faith!

TRINITY SAN DIEGO The Trinity San Diego Campus is led by Campus

Pastors Todd and Katie Corrigan, who join Found-ing Pastors Bob and Claudia Maddux and Span-ish Pastor David Torres. Bob and Claudia felt the nudge to follow Jesus and are now transitioning their ministry efforts to a more world-wide humani-tarian effort. The Corrigan’s and their two kids

Carter (4-years) and Kennedy (7-months) have relocated from Tacoma, Washington. Also several servant leaders have committed to move from Ta-coma, Washington to San Diego to help build the church in the areas of youth ministry, children’s ministry and administrative assistance. When asked about the move to San Diego, Todd and Katie said:

“This process officially began in conversation, a few months ago to be a part of this move, but we would have to say that this started in both of our hearts years ago. God had begun to speak to us about leading in a pastoral capacity as a team

in 2012. Since then, we have been waiting to see His timing and the assignment He had for us finally aligned. This is a step of faith and we have complete peace that God has ordered our steps specifically for this. We believe it is our personal mission to mobilize and equip the church to follow Jesus’ command: to love each other, so that they can, in turn, love their commu-nity (JOHN 13:34-35). We cannot wait to see what He will do through Trinity in San Diego! There is so much opportunity to share the message of Jesus to this community. We get to actually BE the church. To show people that Jesus is the one who died for

them, to not only extend the invitation of Heaven, but to live fuller, richer, and more complete lives here on this earth. To be the extension of Jesus’ hands and feet by loving people where they’re at, and providing opportunities for them to turn around and do the same.”

TRINITY HARLEM Our Trinity Harlem Campus is led by Pastors Taylor and Kristen Wilkerson. The newlyweds were married in October 2014 and traveled the world until moving to NYC in Janu-

ary 2015. From the start, they felt that it was essential for them to live in the same area where they would be doing ministry. When asked about the new adventures of Trinity Harlem, they said:

“We have been amazed at the oppor-tunities to connect with individuals and fami-

lies in our city, some

in need of basic living necessities, others starting brand new businesses. What we’ve realized about Harlem is that there is a lot of talk about following God, but perhaps little follow-through. Church is a part of culture, but not neces-sarily a part of character because many do not feel like they “belong” in the religious settings. We believe we are undeniably called to create a community where people truly belong before they believe. Our first interest meeting brought out 50 people who learned of our church mostly through social media. Countless people shared with us that they specifically received Instagram “screenshots” and de-cided to come see what we were all about. We are growing our teams and are anticipating launching connect groups this summer as we prepare for our launch date this fall. God has truly blessed us with the coolest, most diverse group of people, passionate about reaching our city.

Our facility is beautiful but in need of renovations and an elevator before we are able to use it for services. It is es-sential to us that our building is accessible to those who are disadvantaged. We have summer teams filling up our entire schedule in the next few months to work alongside us so we can see our facility packed and open seven days a week in the fall. There is no doubt that God has an amazing plan to

work through us and make the impossible possible. We are so thankful and excited!! Our vision is to see the lost found, the poor sustained and thriving, and a community dedicat-ed to a new life in the teachings and person of Jesus Christ.”

TEAM NIGHTS: 4/19, 5/3, 5/17, 5/31, 6/28 @7pm (con-tact Trinity Harlem for more details).HEART FOR HARLEM OUTREACH: 6/27 @ St. Nicholas Park in Harlem, NYC

DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?It’s still hard to believe that just a few months ago, I was sitting in the congregation as Pastor Rich delivered that faith-building sermon “Do you see what I see?” and now, months later, things have already be-gun to shift. In just a few months we’ve launched three new cam-puses, grown our North Miami Campus and reno-vated our Miami Gardens Campus to the point where it’s almost unrec-ognizable. If God could make such a huge impact in just a short amount of time, imagine what He can do in a few years or even by the year 2020? Right now my mind can’t re-ally comprehend it all but my heart is completely open to anything. With God, all things are possible. This is the season that we, Trinity Church, must surrender all to Him and allow Him to do only what HE CAN DO, which is always MORE than all that we could ask or think, according to His power that works in us.

Richardy Blanchard is drama director at Trinity Church and is constantly searching for & displaying examples of God’s love, stories of redemption and victories from hurt.

“ I couldn’t be more excited about the growth Trinity is experienc-ing. It is always amaz-ing how God meets our needs when we step out do what He calls us to do! He gives us MORE so we can do MORE. With our new campuses we will be able to reach more people in more places. Trinity Church in Harlem is already reaching out and getting to know the commu-nity. In San Diego, the Church is ready to go in to the community and share the love of Jesus. Vous Church is off to a great start and is going to change lives in South Beach! With the support of our amazing Trinity family, we are going to introduce people across the United States to the amazing power of Jesus’ love. Together we are do-ing MORE!” — Pastor Rich, Sr

YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND IN MEMENTORING YOUNG SCHOLARSWe call them SCHOLARS. Scholars who have purpose, passion and unprecedented potential to be the most Godly and inspiring future leaders of the world. This is the name we choose to call each child that enrolls in our Trinity Church CDF Freedom Schools® Program called SUMMER BLAST. During this eight-week adventure each scholar spends time engaged in reading and theme-based, hands-on activities as outlined in the Integrated Reading Curriculum. Each year we have young educated adults who come to give back to the community by joining the team as a Servant Leader Intern. The scholars look up to these interns and enjoy building lifelong mentorship relationships with them. Our SLIs motivate our scholars to excel higher in their pursuit of education, such as fueling a desire for reading. Reading is a cornerstone of the program. Servant Leader interns lead the scholars in reading several excellent children’s books throughout the summer. These books feature heroes, heroines and settings that reflect the scholar’s own cultural images and history. Classroom activities related to the day’s reading use a variety of teaching models, including cooperative learning, role-playing, and group discussions. These teaching models also include reading aloud, paired reading, creative writing, or visual arts. This range of activity ensures that scholars with diverse experiences, talents, and levels of confidence in reading and verbal

expression are actively engaged. To emphasize the importance and joy of reading, scholars and teachers “Drop Everything And Read” silently for 15 minutes, choosing from a rich selection of reading material available from the CDF Freedom Schools® site library. Our scholars will participate in CDF Freedom Schools® Extra Curricular Activities. These are well-planned music, dance, or other culturally enriching activities that are related to the themes presented in the Integrated Reading Curriculum. Field trips that expand the scholars’ horizons may also fill the day. In addition, scholars have the incredible opportunity each year at SUMMER BLAST to express their unique gifts and talents at the summer recital. This year we will be presenting “Toy Story”! Our Trinity Church CDF Freedom Schools® Recital is the culminating event to a summer full of literacy and culturally enriching experiences. The recital is articulated through visual arts, drama, dance, and song. Our Freedom School® Creative Arts Team work hard to give students the full experience of putting on a Broadway musical with lights, costumes, songs, individual acting classes and endless opportunities. Our efforts are to develop personal growth, confidence, and exploration of new and exciting activities for your child. Being a part of SUMMER BLAST and “Toy Story” will be an incredible opportunity for your child and the entire family!

FATHER’S DAY

GRADUATIONCELEBRATION

MINISTRY HIGHLIGHTCreative believers are breaking down the rigidness that people falsely link to The Church; artists from different mediums come together in a myriad of ways to collaborate and breath life into the vision of the kingdom of God. Every Wednesday night, Trinity Church’s doors are open to all those looking for a creative and encouraging outlet. Creative Night is a safe place for artists to be vulnerable with their artistry, a space for safe collaboration, evolving talents, encouragement, and undeniable growth. One might join the creative team as a dancer, but soon find themselves helping out with video production. This is a place where one can freely experiment with different art forms and create various platforms of artistic release, all while glorifying God! I got to sit down with Zach Freeman, our worship pastor and one of the leaders of Creative Night, to break down the what and how of this event. Zach Freeman: Creative Night is the result of the dream God’s placed in our hearts to see his people lead in every creative area of life. This creative movement is growing every week because it’s attracting people who are looking for positive creative energy that only comes through God’s presence and in the gathering of other believers. There are so many negative ways to be inspired creatively in this city that we wanted to provide a place for people to be inspired without compromising who they are.

CRE-ATIVE NIG-HTS by

Chelsea Gaspard: What do Creative Nights look like? ZF: We start Creative Night with food and socializing, because every-thing is always better when there’s food! After hanging out for a bit we start in with worship. It’s so important to start the beginning of the night with worship – it’s refreshing – especially for those who’ve had a rough day at work or school. After worship, a leader from one of the departments will share an e n c o u r a g i n g word, and then we get into the creative part. Each week we choose a team to present something special that they’ve prepared. So far we’ve had light shows, spoken word pieces, and dance numbers to name a few. We do this to celebrate each other, but we end up being flat-out amazed at the talent represented here at Trinity Church. CG: What does creative ministry look like to you? ZF: It says in Galatians 6:4-5 (MSG): Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don’t be impressed with yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life. Creative Ministry is a collective action that gives all of us the oppor-tunity to use our gifts as a form of worship, while at the same time inspire and edify the church that we serve. We are to give God the very best that we have to offer, and truly dig deep inside to find our

best selves. It’s our responsibility to walk out this journey as creatives’ with the understanding that God has fully equipped us to do our best work. But what it takes for us to get there is to sink ourselves into the gift we’ve been given, and there’s no better place to do this but in the company of other creatives.

ZF: We want to be ahead of what is happening in the world, not the other way around. We serve a God that created the earth and every-thing in it, why wouldn’t He help us lead the rest of the world in the creative arena? Creative night is a place where people are able to share their God-given talents to inspire people, dream, and pursue the life God’s intended them to live. CG: When do these events take place? How can someone get involved? ZF: Creative Nights are Wednesdays at 7pm. Joining Creative Night is as simple as showing up! We invite everyone to come and be a part of what’s happening at Creative Night!

“Live with the

reality of

heaven written on our

hearts.”

15

For the last 5 years, the month of June has always held a special place in my heart. This year it will be no different. I am beyond excited about VOUS Conference 2015 taking over the historic Fillmore Theater June 11-13.

From the very beginning Vous Conference has always been about encountering Jesus and building the local Church. We’ve seen thousands over the years attend and have their lives transformed. This year there is no doubt in my mind that God is going to do it again.

Truth be told, we live in a busy world. All of us are just trying to manage our week; otherwise, by default our week manages us. I love the idea of coming together once a year with the single purpose to encounter God. Maybe that seems strange to you but consider how many other things in your life you take the time to painstakingly schedule.

From grocery shopping to dentist appointments, from date nights with your spouse to birthday parties for your kids... We all have schedules. I think the foundation for every facet of our lives is Jesus. To keep our future focused and fruitful, we have to make time to be with Jesus, otherwise the time will go somewhere else. Making the time to be at conference every year makes a statement that your relationship with God is priority. The reality is if we’re too busy for God, then we’re too busy.

Vous Conference is so much more than a youth and young adult gathering. It’s a move-ment for all people who love Jesus and want to see His church flourish. Every year we do our best to bring in voices that we feel carry the heart and spirit of Vous, while chal-lenging us to enlarge our faith for our cities and families. The line up of special guests this year is quite possibly my favorite one yet—diverse, powerful, passionate, and all unified under the message of Jesus. I truly believe Heaven is going to visit us and God is going to enlarge the vision of all of our hearts through His word!

Till Kingdom Comea vision expanding — Rich Wilkerson, Jr.

One of my favorite things to do each year is seek God for the overall vision, direction, and theme of Vous Conference. Each year our themes have become more like marching or-ders from heaven to earth for those of us who are a part of the Vous movement. These themes have become like dear friends to us. Themes like INTO THE NIGHT have become mantras for our team and have taken on a life of their own. Last year’s theme, LIVE ON, has become a phrase that so many have leaned on in their most trying moments, and it even inspired an original song by our team.

After much prayer and col-laboration with our team, I’m so thrilled to share that our 2015 theme will be TILL KINGDOM COME. It comes from the fa-mous prayer by Jesus in Mat-thew 6:9-13, which reads:

“This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hal-lowed be your name, your king-dom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”

This prayer has become com-monly known as the Lord’s Prayer. Yet, the one line that sticks out to me so strongly is “your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Jesus is essentially say-ing that we should pray and operate in an effort to bring

heaven to earth. That all of our ef-forts in this short life should be done with our eyes fixed on eternity. If we’re not careful we will live the Christian life as if Jesus is simply our ticket to heaven.

Jesus is so much more than that. He is also our teacher while we are here on earth. Jesus didn’t just come to save you in the af-ter life, He actually came to give you abundant life right now—that every day and every waking moment of our lives

we would continue to be shaped into the image of Christ “till king-dom come.”

What would happen if we start-ed living today with the intent to bring heaven to earth? What if we went through our normal everyday lives expecting the mi-raculous. So many believers don’t understand their identity in Jesus and the power they posses as a child of God. The access that we have been granted is unprece-dented. We are connected to the greatest power source of all time and we are empowered to bring Gods light into this dark hopeless world. There is no such thing as dual citizenship in the kingdom of God. You are either in or out. If we’re in, then we might as well start living like it. It’s time to move forward together toward the eter-nal purpose God has placed be-fore us. To live with the reality of

heaven written on our hearts.

We must keep marching on. Celebrating the hope we carry every step of the way and advancing the message until His Kingdom come. We will never quit. We will never back down. TILL KINGDOM COME.

A BIGWELCOME TO OUR NEW MLIDIRECTORJOE HEPLER!

This month we welcome two incredible leaders to the Trin-ity Staff and Family. Joe and Hollie Hepler are a dynamic team and we are blessed to have them call Trinity home. We asked Joe to share with THE SCOOP his heart and vision for the future:

My wife Hollie Jo and I absolutely love being in Miami and being a part of the staff here at Trinity Church. I think our transition would have been difficult if the people of Trinity weren’t so warm and welcoming. I’m originally from Planta-tion, FL and I began attending Trinity in high school after some friends invited me to the Rendezvous. Since then I’ve been in Lakeland, FL at Southeastern University where I graduated with a bachelors degree in Church Ministry and then joined their staff in the Department of Spiritual For-mation. Our transition back down to south Florida has been an adventure. We have so much passion and excitement for this new season.

My vision for raising young leaders is comprised of three components—educating, equipping, and empowering. Be-ing educated is essential for personal growth and develop-ment. When you’re provided with knowledge, you’re able to better shape and form your beliefs and your beliefs will de-termine your behavior. This is vital in developing ministry philosophies.

We also believe in equipping our young leaders with leader-ship skills, as well as church ministry skills and healthy life skills so that once they graduate from our program, they’ll have all the necessary skills they’ll need to influence and build culture no matter where they go. Lastly, we believe in empowering our young leaders through powerful spiritual formation and by giving them responsibilities and positions of leadership within the church.

Miami Leadership Institute provides a unique opportunity to begin discovering your calling, while earning your degree. We have created a context for students to receive the best that Southeastern University and Trinity Church have to offer, all while earning a degree at a fraction of the cost that a traditional program offers.

We currently have applications open for the Summer In-ternship as well as our fall semester. You can apply at www.trinity-mli.com. The sooner you apply, the sooner we can process your application and begin walking you through the steps for course registration and financial aid application. If you’re interested or have questions, stop by our open house on June 29 at 11am.

The best is yet to come for Miami Leadership Institute. Join the journey and apply today!

“ In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the angel of His presence saved them; in His love and in His mercy He redeemed them, and He lifted them

and carried them all the days of old.” ISAIAH 63:9

At our lowest points we fall to our knees and we search to find who can mend us from within and guide us back to our feet.

Some feel they do not deserve help or have the strength to find it; they only need to lift their heads to find the answer in Christ.
