We often hear the saying, “There is no growth in comfort,” and we took this to heart from the beginning. We were once recipients of a short-term mission outreach in Manila. If we stayed with a mission-field mentality, we would never become the mission force we are today. As God empowers us to carry out His mission, let us step out of our comfort zone into the unknown by faith.May we press on with the same passion, pursue His call to make disciples, and be His mission force for the next 40 years and beyond.
