So, Lauren, you encouraged me to make the vision plain for a biblestudy/prayer/encouragement group for Belhaven this year. I think this is wise, so here's my attempt at putting this small spark into words.... I believe that there is a strong desire within the body of Christ for LIFE ABUNDANT. Out of that belief, an idea has stirred that can't quite die down.
I desire to encourage the believers at Belhaven University to encourage and love one another in the faith. With the enabling power of Christ, to wake up souls to the living truth which is Christ; that we, as His body, can live full lives no matter our vocation. I desire to be one administrator in encouraging the body of Christ to pray for eachother, using all spiritual gifts (according to the Bible), to exhort with the Word, to study God's Word together, and by His grace, boldly living out that truth (John 3:16). I want to provide a time and place for believers, primarily theatre department girls, to fulfill the call of Christ to keep Him close to their hearts, thus falling more deeply in love with Him. Remembering that to be in love with Jesus is greatness and everything else will simply follow....
In Jesus' name, Amen.
Unless God has another name in mind, I think I will call this vision "Stand Firm" Amen.
