SERVE Qualities
Our staff pauses weekly to remind ourselves of our goal of serving others, and to focus on staff and missionaries who have exemplified these qualities during the week. Our staff motto states, “We serve God’s Great Commission partners so they can focus on giving and going into all the world. (God’s partners are the Laborers, Leaders, and Givers who participate in spreading the Gospel.) We are at our best when we are Selfless, Eager, Responsible, Valuable, and Exceptional.”
Two and a half years ago, Brother O’Malley wrote a series of articles using the sentence “I Serve Others” as an acrostic. Below are the links to each of those articles. As our staff reminds ourselves weekly, we encourage you to remind yourself often of our goal as Christians – to serve others as Christ loved and served the church.
