Monthly Newsletter: July 2024
“Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see.”
A Life of Faith: The life of faith is learning to live in the power of Someone else. Godly faith amounts to TRUST.
Do we trust God based on what we’ve seen of His nature and character? Faith as a confident look to the future based on reliance on God’s promises. This trust leads to obedience.
The main thing about Christianity is not the work we do BUT the relationship we maintain.
That is all God asks us to look after, and it’s the one thing that is constantly under threat.
Christian Economic Forum (CEF) Annual Summit, Quebec City – July 2024
We are blessed to attend the Christian Economic Forum in Quebec City this past July. We saw and heard firsthand stories from Christian Leaders all over the world, showcasing God-inspired solutions to the world’s greatest challenges. We’ve met a couple from Madagascar who are close relatives of the current President and watched the message spoken by the Madagascar’s president thanking CEF for transforming his nation’s legacy. As if that’s not enough, we were privileged to be given the opportunity to facilitate one of the collaboration workshops on Redemptive Real Estate.
