God is calling us to strengthen the connections we have with those He has connected us to here in India and beyond. Specifically graduates of ours who are out laboring for Jesus in the harvest fields around us. We are linked to men and woman who have gone out and planted churches, they’re preaching the gospel, teaching God’s Word and winning the lost. Our relationship with these dear saints is one of divine origin, and we are committed to strengthening our connection with them.
The second vital component to covenant, which follows right on the heels of communication, is commitment. Without commitment, we simply will not follow through on our responsibilities. So, the things I’m responsible for, I must commit to. This encompasses two huge areas of my life: one is to pray, and the other is to give. Those are my responsibilities, and those are the things I must commit to. I believe my prayer life, and the way I steward the increase God brings in my life, are the two dominating areas that I can covenant with other in.
There’s really tons more that I could say…perhaps I will in the future, but I want to leave it at this for now.
We will build upon these simple components as we continue to build a “covenant community” with those we’ve been called alongside; called together to gather fruit for eternity.
