As a born again child of God, bought with the precious blood of Jesus, I am a unique Masterpiece, planned before the world began, fashioned in my mother’s womb, developed according to God’s infinite wisdom and constantly being transformed by His grace.
God designed my body, experiences, family, resources, neighborhood and life stage for me to touch specific people through preordained acts of service.
I resolve to use my spiritual gifts, natural abilities, physical and social resources and my life experiences to maximize my impact for Christ and His Kingdom.
As a member of the body of Christ, I will support the fellow workers beside me and contribute as the Lord enables me - all to bring glory and honor to the Lord Jesus Christ who saved me, made me who I am and gave me all that I have.
