Partnerships

Starting with the understanding that God designed us for relationships, we can bask in the joy that the first relationship is between us and Him. Herein we find life, breath and abundant hope. Following this relationship, we have the delight to connect with our families and other believers. This too is promising, but not the end of it.

I believe God calls us to partnerships in the sharing of the gospel with other churches, para-churches and even other groups. Again, it's in the relationships that we demonstrate the harmonious miracles of God and by which we multiply our impact exponentially as a result. We have numerous partners in the fight. Pray that we maximise these opportunities to His glory.

James 2:22 (MSG)
22 Isn't it obvious that faith and works are yoked partners, that faith expresses itself in works? That the works are "works of faith"?

I also think this is a critical area for the future of our Army. The partnerships we engage in are a major determinant of the success of our integrated mission - where the social and evangelical meet, the professional and the pastoral combine and we truly work with people towards transforming lives and reforming society.
