‘If My People’ Campaign
What if the people of God lived lives of intentional service in communities across the nation? What if believers stepped outside of their comfort zones and into the midst of those in need? What if we submitted our plans for our lives to His authority and His call? Spiritual and physical needs would be met. Families would be strengthened. Neighborhoods and communities would be changed. God would be glorified. Such is the desire of the “If My People” emphasis from the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission.
