ENVISION Purpose brings people together. Every carecell is made up of people from all walks of life. With so many different backgrounds, it’s inevitable that there will be conflict.

• The Holy Spirit empowers and emboldens us After receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the early church grew bold in living out their faith, even in the midst of persecution. The threat of social stigmatization and death were very real, and yet, that did not stop them from proclaiming the Gospel. How about us?

When we do this, we are no longer unstoppable because our testimony has been silenced for fear of being questioned or judged. Do not let the enemy silence our ability to be salt and light. Be continually filled with the Holy Spirit, going boldly in all that He wants to do through us.

God tells us to wait upon Him. Engage
