Our Why
Serving in any one of the 5 Fold Ministry assignments is hard selfless work. We have seen pastors and missionaries burn out. The suicide and depression rates in pastors, missionaries and in their families sadly are increasing. Many Pastors, Missionaries and Ministry Workers have succumb to unfortunate falling away due to sin and lack of accountability. We have seen it many times even to people we hold dear to us. This along with other things the Lord has spoken to us is why this ministry was birthed. Our work is rooted in the truth of God's Word, and these scriptures represent the "why" behind what we do.
“Then He said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they come to life."'" So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.” Ezekiel 37:9-10 AMP

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation].

For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.”

"I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."
