“The Love of Christ compels me…” – II Corinthians 5:14
The above scripture goes right to the heart of why we pray…give…worship…or really do anything connected to our relationship with Christ. It’s all because of His love. We love Him because He first loved us. It truly is His love that compels us.
I can absolutely, unequivocally assure you that the love of Christ is the motivation for why CELEBRANT SINGERS have shared the gospel with millions around the world since 1977. What else could possibly motivate one to rise early every morning to board a bus, an airplane, a train, a rickshaw in India, an oxcart in South America, or cross a river in a rickety old canoe in Africa, to share the gospel with anyone who will listen? Only the love of Christ.
The more we value the work of Christ on the cross…the more we realize how much He has done, and continues to do for us, each and every day…the more we will love Him. As our love for Him grows, the more we will long to know and do His will. And His will is that none should perish but all should come to know Him. – II Peter 3:9
That’s why I want to thank you today for your generous support of God’s work through CELEBRANTS. I fully believe you share our same motivation. That’s why you pray for us and regularly give of your finances to see His work go forward. In so doing, you are truly doing the will of the Father and pleasing God’s heart. I so commend you and thank you for that.
Let’s continue throughout all of 2020, reaching out as best we can, to make sure everyone has a chance to hear the gospel. Your prayers and regular gifts help greatly to make that possible. For after all…nothing less than the love of Christ…compels us!
Because of His limitless love,
