Faith Statements: It's significance!

At the retreat, Victor provided a series of studies for the counselors and staff on the significance of writing a personal mission/faith statement. It was an insightful and yet difficult time as each individual needed to reflect upon their lives and relationship with God. Since this is an on-going process, we have created a website with the sole purpose of witnessing to the on-going developments in our lives and how they play a role in our relationship with Christ and with our neighbor. We will provide the faith statements on this blog for constant revisions and movement. Yet, you are welcomed to visit the website entitled: "In the Potter's Hands" and check out our personal and collective testimonies: http://www.wix.com/breakthrough09/in-the-potters-hands
