We believe that the blessings we will experience as a synod and as congregations as we form congregation-to-congregation relationships are: that we will all be renewed and strengthened in our witness to our Lord Jesus. That we will both give and receive encouragement in our work, our congregational practices, and in our prayer life. That we will be strengthened and inspired by each other in our callings as a "sent people in daily life. that each congregation will learn more about how the Church lives and works outside our own countries.
