“On Belay”

When mountaineers are challenged to enter into difficult or dangerous places, they go with trusted companions who help each other secure anchor or “belay” points. Fastening themselves to the “rock”, they use their rope to enable the other to safely pass their difficult routes.

Much like these mountaineers, the Lord's called ones who encourage and send each other to “go” and make disciples for Christ are “on belay,” holding fast to the “rock,” and anchored by ropes of faith and love for their Lord and for each other.

We would like to invite you to participate with other committed Christians working together as they depend on each other to enter into difficult situations for the glory of God.
