When it comes to sharing our faith, where do we begin? It's not what you might think! We start with prayer and listening to the heart of our neighbors. - - - 📖 ABOUT THE SERIES: This November we're kicking off a 3-week series called "5 Habits: Living Life on Mission".

When he came closer, he asked him, 41 “What do you want me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “I want to see.” 42 “Receive your sight,” Jesus told him. “Your faith has saved you.” {Luke 18:35-42} - - - ✝️ ABOUT SWERVE: Swerve Church is a new church in the neighborhood of Bushwick in Brooklyn NYC.
