About Us
In the beginning...
Have you ever felt like God is calling you to do something? We have, and our first response was... He couldn’t possibly be talking to us because we're just simple ordinary people. We haven't gone to seminary school or had any training as preachers, we're just regular people with a love for God and Jesus Christ. So we prayed on it for weeks, talked with friends about it, we had been reminded again and again that God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies those He calls !
When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. - Acts 4:13
After months of self doubt we finally decided to listen, not knowing what we we're going to do, but saying "yes Lord" to whatever He wanted. The first thought was a simple Bible study group, but this just didn't seem "right". Jesus was (and still is) taking us on a path and He is showing us little by little, while strengthening our faith in the process. We're excited to be following God's plan for us, and out of this “let’s make JESUS famous” was started, as a part of our calling.
It's our way of helping other people, those believers that are having a hard time understanding their faith, and difficulty sharing Jesus with the world around them. Our teaching style is fun and simple, a straight forward approach that's built on honesty, kindness, compassion and love. We aren't "religiously righteous" people, but we're spiritually real, and rather than preach, we teach. The goal is to guide you along this journey in a respectful, supportive, and comfortable way, while helping you to gain the courage to live a daily life in faith with Jesus.
Much like the 12 disciples, we're all Christians that are called to live and share our faith, hope and love of Jesus. We're definitely not saints, nor perfect, and thankfully that isn't a requirement of Jesus when He calls us to follow Him. This is a journey set by Jesus, and through Him we are all enough!
Our beliefs are in the Word of God, that He sent His only son Jesus to save us from our sins through His death on the cross, His bodily resurrection, and ascension to heaven. We’ve admitted our sins, received forgiveness, and we profess our faith by being baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. - Romans 8:25
- Our hope is set on Jesus’ love for us, and the salvation that comes from Him alone, a gift of Grace that cannot be earned.
- Our hope is to inspire and encourage fellow followers of Jesus to share their faith. This world desperately needs Jesus and it’s up to all of us to help make JESUS famous, one person at a time.
- Our hope is that every person in the world hears the gospel message and makes the choice to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? - Romans 10:14
Our mission is to teach Christians how to live in their faith, and how to impact lives by sharing Jesus with the people around them. We encourage, equip, teach, and unite fellow believers in spreading the message of Jesus, while being both comfortable and confident in doing it.
Our vision is to empower these believers to become voices in their community, voices that teach others how to share Jesus with the people in their micro-world.
Would you like to be better at sharing your faith and the news of Jesus' salvation with friends, family, and co-workers? We'd love for you to join us on this journey, together we can all make JESUS famous in the world around us!
The values that drive us:
- Trust in God and His Word
- Build on and strengthen our faith daily
- To love God and others just as Jesus taught
- Integrity, kindness, truth, compassion, and love
- Passion to share Jesus and His salvation with others
- Be connected as a family of believers, brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ
- Multiplicity – telling someone about Jesus, who then tells another, and so on
I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings. - 1 Cor 9:23
