<div><strong>A UNIQUE PLACE<br></strong><br></div><div>Work is a gift from the loving Father to his beloved sons and daughters. And yet, receiving this gift and offering it back to our Creator can be difficult due to the brokenness and frailty of our fallen nature. We seek to answer the Lord’s invitation to lean into this tension as we build an apostolate entirely devoted to honoring God both with <em>what</em> we do and<strong> </strong><em>how</em><strong><em> </em></strong>we do it. It’s not perfect because we are not perfect. And still, we persist because “he who made the promise is trustworthy.” (Hebrews 10:23)</div><div><strong><br>FOR A UNIQUE PURPOSE<br></strong><br></div><div>Amidst the obvious challenges, God is doing something amazing in our world… and we are grateful to be a part of it.
