Getting Started

What is the story God is writing in your life?  Like it or not, every follower of God has a Story of Sifted.  Jesus promised we would have trouble (John 16), and often we want to shy away from it.  The truth is that we minister best from our point of weakness.  Has your weakness during sifting seasons become strength for others around you and in your ministry?  The theme of this site is Luke 22:31, “. . . and when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”  Peter’s season of sifting prepared him to be the rock upon which the church would be built.  Will you use your times of sifting to strengthen others?  Let’s begin the journey:
