all men so that those trusting Him can have forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

WHEREAS: Most of the world yet lives and dies without ever experiencing the life-giving
presence of the Savior. (Matthew 9:36-38)

good pleasure, we offer our lives to the following covenant made before God
and each other. (Philippians 2:13)

worthless without Him. (Philippians 3:8)

8. To hold the conviction that all we possess belongs to God. (1 Corinthians 4:7)
9. To adhere to a one-way mission, cost what it may, to not go back from the call of Christ.
(Luke 9:62, Philippians 3:13, 14)
10. To daily ask the Father to be a Pauline pattern of servant-leadership whose lives clearly
demonstrate Christ's love and radiate His truth. (1 Corinthians 11:1)
My Dedication To Jesus
I desire and confess total abandonment to Jesus Christ. May He, through the Holy Spirit,
make me a faithful disciple, warrior, ambassador and example. I join "The 300" - God's
Band of Warriors - to pray and be prayed for, to love and be loved, to serve and be served,
to encourage and be encouraged, to challenge and be challenged, and together, to be of
one heart and one mind in fulfilling Christ's prayer "that they all may be one…that the
world may know that You have sent Me." (John 17:23)
