Thoughts to ponder:

Philippians 4:13 sums up the philosophy of the mission team. But the context is the important aspect. Paul writes in chapter 4:

11b:  "...for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. “

       (Have I? Or am I always looking toward what I will do, what I will be or what I will have?)

“I know both how to have a little, and I know how to have a lot.”

        (Really? To be content in both circumstances? Have I really learned that?)


“In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content- whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need.”

Then verse 13 is the obvious conclusion:

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
