The Frontier Awaits!
Vision Sunday
Acts 20:24

The Frontier Awaits

"I pray that all our lives reflect that. ...It seems like a floodgate has been opened in my heart (to share God's love). I have a passion for it I never knew God had given me. He's given it to me for His glory."
Genessa Wells

"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!"
Romans 10:14-15
