“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena… who strives valiantly…who spends himself in a worthy cause … who, if he fails at least fails while daring greatly…”

-Theodore Roosevelt Somehow in the mysterious and magnificent providence of God you and I have been gifted to live in these challenging and intriguing days. It is not hard to find reason to bemoan the circumstances of life. The world is hard. Life is not fair.

And yet…here WE are! What if God appointed us to be alive in this very time in order to use us for His appointed purpose? What if the Lord, knowing the challenges at hand, selected us as His potential instruments “for such a time as this”? What if you and I were to believe and receive the promises of His Word as our own and so live our lives as channels of His blessing to a world in need?

What if we as a church, we’re Daring Greatly in Jesus’ name to see God’s vision to help multiply hundreds even thousands of people from all over the world find hope in Christ in our day?

What if…?

there are approximately 300,000 food-insecure people residing within

Each second Sunday of the month, we ask our attendees to grab a Feed

who have received food are now part of the Christ Journey Church Family!

Our pantry requires about 400 bags per month to meet the need, so make a Feed Miami Bag a part of your weekly grocery shopping and help

Expectantly,

Pastor Bill
