For His Kingdom, #2: Vision 2024 | Mac Hammond
Recap
Pastor Mac laid out the vision for this coming year, to reach the exciting goals God has set before us. Goals were set for our three entities: LWCC, the church; LWA, Living Word Academics; and LWI, Living Word International. Highlighted was our emphasis on the Lord’s command to “go into all the world and make disciples of all the nations,” which will be accomplished through global church planting.
