REFLECTING ACTS 1:8
In looking at what happened after Easter, we saw that Jesus commissioned His disciples to "Be His Witnesses"

"you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:8

So, we took that info and related it to our involvement as a church around the globe.  See below for more info:
