Over the past two days, our leaders set aside time to seek God's direction for Charis.
As we prepared for 2027, our conversations went beyond workplans into the heart of who we are as a community, reflecting on volunteer sustainability, psychological safety, and how we can better care for one another as fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. In creating space for honest conversations, we found the courage to be honest ourselves.
And as we listened to one another, the Holy Spirit moved. Tears were shed, invisible walls started coming down, and we were reminded that beneath our strengths and roles, we are all broken people in need of God's grace, healing, and transformation.
So we raise an Ebenezer as a marker of God's faithfulness. Not because the work is finished, but because we want to remember the prayers prayed, the burdens laid down, the healing that began, and the renewed commitment to walk toward deeper unity and true freedom as one Charis, one body in Christ.
"Thus far the Lord has helped us." 1 Samuel 7:12
