East West KurtKurt Nelson, President and CEO

It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation. Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.” —Romans 15:20-21

For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. —1 Corinthians 2:2

These two verses are my “heart song,” how I pray God will use my life.

East West JM2John Maisel, Founder and Chairman Emeritus

However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me —the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace. —Acts 20:24

This is my life verse because I consider Paul’s task of testifying to the gospel to be my task as well.

East West JoeJoe Wall, Vice President

I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death. —Philippians 3:10

As my life verse, this piece of Scripture keeps me focused on what really counts in life.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. —Jeremiah 29:11

This verse reminds me that the plan God has for my life is in my best interest.

This chapter of the Psalms speaks to me because it talks about what God thinks about us.
