How do we want to engage the world?

Engage with others to fight against injustice, poverty, and darkness

"You are the light of the world...let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." - Matthew 5:14,16

Engage with new friends and new cultures in new places

Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the Ethiopian reading (from scripture). "Do you understand what you are reading?" Philip asked. "No, I need someone to help me." So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. - Acts 8:30-31

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." - Matthew 28:19-20

After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” - Revelation 7:9-10
