Francine dreams of being a Hope Bearer and insuring that all know the love of Christ
The Love of Christ Made Visible as in 2 Corinthians 5:17-19: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God who reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the Ministry of Reconciliation. God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

Matthew 25:35-36: I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick and you cared for me. I was in prison and you visited me.

My vision is to be able to live Godly and holy lives at home. I don’t know that I have a specific calling right now-so I just lift up my hands to the Lord and ask Him to have me follow and serve Him wherever that may be!
Dean’s Dream
It starts in the upper left hand corner with a ‘dialogue of the nations’ of sorts. Bringing everyone together on an equal field. And then we truly listen to everyone before we do anything.
From there we collectively provide all the necessary tools (funds, education, actual tools, etc.) so that a person( or people group) can then create, invent build whatver it is that they feel is best suited for the. Whatever brings sustenance to that community.
When that happens we create a healthier world and when everyone is viewed equally then we will seek out real justice, not punitive but freedom, equality, real justice.
And true justice will include mercy and peace which will lead us to compassion and a sense that nobody is greater than his/her brother or sister. We are all equal in each other’s eyes just as in the eyes of God.
And faith, while not explicitly mentioned, is the foundation upon which all of this must happen. We may not all view faith in God through the same windows but there is faith in a God that can do all things…
Jamie’s dream
For my vision board, I drew a picture of myself standing below the cross because I believe all vision starts as we center ourselves in Christ through our personal devotion to Him. I have had some prior missions experience in the inner-city and in South Africa and God has taught me a lot about His call for the church to pick up their cross and serve the poor and homeless. I pictured myself on a bridge and on one end there are the churches outside of the inner-city and as I walk toward these churches, giving Christ’s radical call to reach out to the poor and homeless, my prayer and faith is that God will conduct personal and corporate revivals as He touches people’s hearts to respond to His call. I then pictured all of us, myself and those who respond, walking across the bridge together to the other side to meet our neighbors where they are, holistically, which I drew practically take place through churches, community centers, the street and homes. The supports for my bridge are scriptures that have spoken deeply to my soul which are the Great Commandment, the Great Commission, and 1 Corinthians 13:8, “Love never fails.”
