Unleashed – Becoming a Catalyst for Change
Catch the Vision!
When God created the heavens and the earth, he was vision casting for his world and for his male and female image bearers. Even though his image bearers rebelled, and we now live in a fallen world, God has never abandoned his original vision for us. Together we will explore God’s vision for his daughters—a vision that encompasses every day of our lives, no matter who we are, where or when we live, or how our stories are playing out.
From Here to Eternity
How do we move forward to fulfill God’s vision for us and for his world? What does God expect of us, and what challenges lie ahead? Never before have we had more information about the injustice and oppression that is destroying the lives of millions of women and girls worldwide. Never before have we been blessed with greater resources, wealth, and technology to address this mushrooming crisis. Jesus arms us with a rich and powerful gospel of redemption, grace, and justice for the oppressed. He summons us to action and to summon others to join us.
