To LIVE and LOVE like Jesus, we engage the hopeless and vulnerable by speaking and demonstrating the Good News of Jesus.

When we say hopeless we are referring to those who have little to no access to the Gospel as well as those who have not experienced new life in Christ (1 Peter 1:3–4). These are people around the world and around us.

When we say vulnerable we are referring to those who are susceptible to physical, emotional, or spiritual harm because of circumstances that may be beyond their control, because we are a people who desire to live and love like Jesus.
