TRUST THE PROMISE.
This year, our theme encourages you to jump in: Trust the Promise in the middle of messy ministry.
At some point, the next step isn’t about complete certainty, it’s about trust.
One thing IS for certain: God’s promise is for right now
ONE MUST FIRST JUMP AND IT IS ONLY LATER THAT ONE FEELS CARRIED.
Fr. Jacques Philippe

Inspiration & Tools
Real stories, real struggles, and the promise that you’re not alone.
