MALCOLM ZARA
E.P.I.C. Ministry Coordinator
|
|
From the Coordinator:
“Behold, I make all things new.†- Revelation 21:5
This is truly an exciting time for us all as E.P.I.C. begins a new chapter in the journey of faith. September marks the official institution of a new core team with well-defined roles. This new team is going forward with a sense of unity and passion for E.P.I.C.’s mission.
During last month’s retreat in Hana, we spent some time discussing our individual gifts and talents. We also shared how we would be able to use them in taking E.P.I.C. to the “next levelâ€. I believe that, with our eyes fixed on Jesus and a ready and willing attitude, the future for E.P.I.C. Ministry looks extremely bright.
One of my favorite verses (and lines from the Passion of the Christ) comes from the Book of Revelation - “Behold, I make all things new.†Jesus came to shake things up… but in the best way possible. Change should inspire us and reaffirm our hope in Christ. It is the evidence of the Spirit working within us and transforming us.
It is for this very reason that I humbly accept and look forward to this new endeavor as OLS E.P.I.C. Coordinator. Thank you for all your prayers and support!
Yours in Christ,
Malcolm
