FROM GRACE
I am so excited for what God will do in our hearts this year as we gather under the theme Arise & Shine. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 5:14–15 (ESV), “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden… nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.” These words are more than a calling; they are an identity. You are light because His light lives within you.
In a season where many of us feel weary or apprehensive, I believe the Lord is inviting us to ARISE and let His radiance SHINE through every part of our lives and ministries. This is not about doing more, but about allowing His presence to burn brightly in us again.
My prayer is that Breakaway becomes a sacred pause where you are refreshed, restored, and reignited. May this time together lift the weight off your shoulders and remind you that your light, your voice, your calling, your presence matters deeply in the Kingdom.
I can’t wait to worship, learn, and seek Jesus with you. Let’s step into this year ready to Arise & Shine, confident that the light He has placed within us is meant to be seen, not hidden under a basket!
With love,
Grace
