Summary

The local church is the only hope we find as we face the challenges in the world today. My goal is to always be in the center of the Lord’s will for my life and to serve Him wherever He leads me. Together we can do what we could never do alone. It’s through the cooperative work of the local churches that we find strength, so we must work together to meet the challenges that so many are facing today. I want to do my part in whatever lies ahead for me. My steps are laid out by God and my job is to be ready for wherever He leads.
