Let’s Work Together!
One of the joys of being a part of the Body of Christ is knowing that the Lord gave different gifts, abilities, talents and resources to every believer, church and Christian organisation, and spread them throughout the Church worldwide. By working together we can make best use of these God-given resources, which is the only way to be really effective in fulfilling the Lord’s command to make disciples of all nations. It is a blessing that we were never called to compete with one another, but to cooperate with one another so that the world will see Christ’s Glory, Love and Salvation.
