Constitution of "The Brethren"

The object of this society shall be to effect, in the persons of its members, a mission to the heathen...Each member shall keep himself absolutely free from every engagement which, after his prayerful attention, and after consultation with his brethren, shall be deemed incompatible with the object of this society, and shall hold himself in readiness to go on a mission when and where duty may call.

-- The first American Missions Board

Simplicity doesn’t mean we will live uncomplicated lives. Simplicity is a matter of Focus — the grace to focus our lives simply on Christ.

Pray with eyes on Christ and not on the crisis.

Because when you pray with eyes on Christ and not on the crisis — your prayers are always answered: He edifies, He embraces, He is enough.

What would it be like to live like that — all the moments a prayer with eyes of the heart all on Christ?
