Your Story Matters – Share It!
You have a story to tell of God’s work in your life. Maybe you’re just beginning your walk with God, or you’ve been a Christian for awhile but are just beginning to grow deeper in Christ. Maybe you’ve found new purpose in serving through a Delaney ministry or in your neighborhood or workplace. Or perhaps you’ve recently witnessed or benefitted from Christ’s service to you through His body, the Church. Will you tell your story, today?
Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples! Philippians 4:6 NASB
I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him. Psalm 40:1-3 (NIV)
