The Church of ___________
When Paul wrote to the "Church of ________", he did not write to a singular fellowship, congregation, or leader. He wrote to the collective co-captains and followers in a region. It is our task to re-embody. To identify and function as a Loving Body. Fill out this form to share and connect around these efforts in your region.
The night before Jesus was tortured, He shares with us what was so heavy on His heart and mind:
“Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you... I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me. I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me."
John 17 is Jesus's longest recorded pray. Until we focus on and getting better at "Loving one another", the world will not know the depth of God's Love.

From Across the World: Jeremy of Mauritius
Jeremy does this John 17 work on the small island of Mauritius. I love Jeremy's heart, it inspires me. Years ago, through Daybreak, he created a story/video below of how and why we ought to listen to Christ and band together. This story speaks to my warrior spirit and I hope it fuels you to befriend and train with other warriors outside of your clan.
