What happens when we put our hands together?

Our hands filed up!!! This represents how Jesus is always among us... when we gather in his name.


In our recent meeting we discussed some of the current issues and observations that affect the growth of the team in terms of our relationship towards each other and towards God. We also talked boldly about how we feel and what we have in mind towards one another, we believe that the open-communication culture we practice strengthens and builds us up into a committed and accountable team.    

It was fun and at the same time, empowering!     I believe, the minutes of the meeting could be summarized with this context; Mat 28:19  Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to OBSERVE all that I have commanded you. AND behold, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, to the end of the age."(ESV emphasis mine).  It has reminded all of us of a better perspective, the original one; It is to serve the Lord in his great commission... "what Jesus has really died for!"...

Due to its noticeable results; we will continue our regular month-ender meeting. It would not just be an evaluation but also a time to pray as a team just as we work as a team.

All praises to God, we know that he helped us to realize a lot of things by giving us open minds and resilient hearts toward His will. And, Hallelujah! The vision of a mega church is really at hand but we have to have a mega step of faith backing up that vision.

For Kwerdas it's been always a good news when something happens in the church; whether it seemed good or bad since we love the Lord; who works on all these for our good, we're assured... he made all things beautiful in his time.

We believe that we are not a stand alone band neither somebody who could ever be able to work things on our own. We don't carry out our own vision but we carry out the vision given us as disciples. The band; Kwerdas, the youth; Soya, the church; JCWC these are all names for the purpose of identification but without being connected to the true vine who is Jesus? "I don't think we can do anything."

 " I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. " John 15:5

  1. About the picture; it were actually our hands, after we closed the meeting with a prayer,
    we put our hands together as a gesture of agreement and of our joy. I know on the very top of all the hands there was Jesus as he has always been since the beginning. Let this be a tribute to our faithful Lord and Savior.
