Making A Difference

Verse :
Won't You Lord take a look at our hands
Everything we have Use it for Your plans
Won't You Lord take a look at our hearts
Mold it refine it as You set us apart

Chorus:
We want to run to the altar And catch the fire
To stand in the gap Between the living and the dead
Give us a heart of compassion For a world without vision
We will make a difference Bringing hope to our land

Bridge:
We will answer the call To build this church without walls
Let Your glory be shown Bring salvation to the lost... to the lost

Career missionaries are encouraged to send monthly newsletters to family and friends providing news, updates and prayer requests.

All finances received by the church office for a particular career missionary will go into the Neighborhood Church Missions Fund.
