  9. We are World Christians. We put God’s love for all people first. No race is superior to another. We don’t put our nation’s economy before God’s economy. He tells us to seek first His kingdom. We are driven to action daily with the knowledge that 4 billion people do not know our Savior. Our passion in life, our unquenchable desire, is to take God’s love to them. No task is too small for us. All that limits us is our unwillingness to believe God can enable us to do it. We are sold out to Jesus Christ. Nothing less. We understand following Him means absolute death to ourselves.
