THE THEME

Divine Encounters at Work in History

Divine encounters transform lives, communities and even nations (think Joshua, Nehemiah, Zacchaeus!). When Christians understand their purpose and are equipped, we will step into our roles with passion. Then the church can fulfill her calling in the world.
