What if Mandarin worked together to create a children’s ministry where children not only were taught about Jesus, but children experienced the real ministry of Jesus by serving others?
What if Mandarin worked together with its’ next youth minister to create a ministry where teens were not just ministered to, but they experienced the joy of ministering both inside and outside our walls?
What if Mandarin worked together to offer ourselves as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God?
What if Mandarin worked together to be so generous, our elders would have to rethink what God can do through us?
What if Mandarin worked together to commit to be available for each other?
What if Mandarin worked together to fellowship beyond regularly scheduled assemblies?
What if Mandarin worked together to use the resources God has freely given us to care for our brothers, our sisters and our world?
What if Mandarin worked together to be intentional in seeking out relationships where we can help someone grow and someone can help us grow?
What if Mandarin worked together to share Jesus naturally within the parameters of our own personalities?
What if ever Mandarin Family member showed up on this campus every Sunday, not ready to consume, but ready to contribute; not ready to evaluate, but ready to participate; ready to see ‘transform’ become the norm?
What if is a wonderful dream, but what if only becomes what is when we pour every ounce of energy into what God says can be.
Be the church you want Mandarin to be! More importantly, be the church God wants Mandarin to be!
