Like Jesus, changemakers use power differently. Jesus was a leader, but he led in a different way—he shared and gave away power rather than amassing it. The opportunity to empower ourselves as well as others sometimes comes down to a moment.

We have the capacity to be creative because God is creative. We have everything we need to make change; we have enough. We just need to stretch our imaginations, break out of constrained thinking.

Our youth are changemakers as they report on their mission trip to Omaha, Nebraska last June.

The key thing Jesus did when starting ministry was to gather a group of people, a team of disciples. He did not do it alone but in collaboration. We also are not lone wolves but called to partner with one another.

Our young messengers take over the service to tell the story of Christmas.
