We are wanderers, explorers, travelers. Roaming the Earth, field by field, moment by moment…Seeking, searching, longing. Desperately wanting those we encounter to know what we know, to experience what we have experienced. A life change so beautiful, a grace so sufficient, a mercy so unfathomable, that we can’t possibly keep it to ourselves. This is our mission and is our purpose. To pursue the calling of Jesus to the ends of the Earth. Will you answer that call? The call to walk…the field?

This captivating mini movie is an ideal video to set up your Good Friday service.

This is a new day. A day of celebration! For God has given us a new birth…a living hope through the resurrection of His Son. He has rescued us from darkness. He has brought us out of despair. For in Him we have redemption…in Him we have mercy…in Him we have forgiveness. Today we stand in Christ, a new creation. The old has gone, the new has come.
