March 2024 Partner Letter Springing Into Action God bless you members and partners! I want to start this letter off by saying “thank you”, to all of you for your continued support for the vision at KCC. We are progressing very well in our goals and so much of our fruit is due to members who believe in the ministry. As I pondered what to write about, I was reminded of the need for action and more specifically “faith driven actions.” James 1:22 gives us one of the foremost foundational verses relative to taking action: James 1:22 (NKJV) Don’t be just a hearer of the word but a doer also. What does God mean when He says, “don’t just hear the word?” I believe that God is saying to imitate Him in acting on the Word, we both hear and speak. Notice that since the beginning of creation God would speak a word and then we would see the product of what He said. He said, “Let there be light, and there was light.” However, most people do not realize that God also backed up His words with actionable steps to enact His will. He not only spoke the word, but He “did something.” When God made man, He did two things: 1. He spoke and 2. He formed. This means He put action to what He said. Hear the word of the Lord concerning the principles of speaking and acting: Genesis 1:26-27 (NKJV) Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

Genesis 2:7 (NKJV) And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
