Point 7: HOW A COMMUNITY OVERCOMES DISCONNECTION

FINAL DECLARATION

Disconnection brought defeat.

But restoration brought victory.

Selfishness stopped the mission.

But obedience restarted momentum.

Hidden sin weakened the community.

But repentance healed the body.

We are not a disconnected people!

We walk in obedience!

We stay in covenant!

We protect unity!

We confront disconnection!

AND WE MOVE FORWARD IN VICTORY!

WE ARE A COURAGEOUS COMMUNITY!
