OUR MISSION STATEMENT

25. “I will make a covenant of peace with

them, and cause wild beasts to cease

from the land; and they will dwell

safely in the wilderness and sleep in

the woods.

26. I will make them and the places all

around My hill a blessing; and I will

cause showers to come down in their

season; there shall be showers of

blessing.

27. Then the trees of the field shall yield

their fruit, and the earth shall yield

her increase. They shall be safe in

their land; and they shall know that I

am the Lord, when I have broken the

bands of their yoke and delivered

them from the hand of those who

enslaved them.

28. And they shall no longer be a prey for

the nations, nor shall beasts of the

land devour them; but they shall

dwell safely, and no one shall make

them afraid.
