We are currently working on a study called Setting Sail in preparation for moving our family across the world. This study's goal is to draw you closer as a family, set a firm foundation for you to draw upon in hard times, and get each member of the family to realize their value as a part of our mission team.
Tonight we discussed creating a mission statement for our family so that each person clearly knows our Beliefs, Goals, and Priorities.
Here are what we as a family came up with:
Beliefs:
In God and in Jesus Christ his son who came to die for us and in the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
Protecting unborn life and affirming the value of all life, preborn or otherwise.
Sharing the Gospel is our Christian responsibility.
Goals:
Learn Japanese.
Establish crisis pregnancy centers in Japan.
Make friends with Japanese people.
Help women.
Priorities:
Follow God always.
Save babies.
Love mothers (and fathers).
Live out the Gospel.
Now we need to put all of this together in a few sentences that the children can memorize. Would you like to help? Put your suggestions in the comments below!
