Perspective of the Ministry
	I believe God’s desire is to work through His people, so they will offer His message of Hope and Comfort to those who are in need.  Ministry must center around two great principles; (1) to develop a heart that is humble toward the Lord, (2) and be found faithfully serving humanity until His return.

	Organizing	               Administration
