Joining God's Mission of Restoring All Creation into Shalom
How work, language, and community fit into God's grand story
Why We're Here — From Creation to Restoration
God declared work "very good." Humanity was fashioned to steward (radah רָדָה) creation as His image‑bearers.
Sin cracked that vocation—thorns, sweat, and the Sunday‑Monday divide (Gen 3).
Christ, the second Adam, makes us "new creation" (2 Cor 5:17) and draws us into the Missio Dei—God's healing of all things.
We labour by abad (עָבַד – worship & love God) and shamar (שָׁמַר – serve & love neighbour).
Our guiding lights are tzedakah (צְדָקָה – right relationships) and mishpat (מִשְׁפָּט – justice), ultimately restoring our identity as God's vice‑regents—managing every square‑inch of society so that love, peace, justice, flourishing, care, and worship fill the world as He intended.
