Our Guiding Principle: Love God, Love People!
For us, The Bati's, "Love God, Love People!" is far more than a motto; it's the heartbeat of our ministry. This simple, powerful phrase is the compass that guides every step we take as Global missionaries. It's the foundation of our call to make Christlike disciples and to serve communities across the Africa Region.
Loving God with Our Lives
Loving God is our first priority. This love isn't just a feeling; it's a continuous act of surrender and service. It is reflected in the time we spend in prayer, seeking His guidance for every decision. It's in our dedication to serving Him by serving His people. We believe that by pouring our lives into His work—equipping leaders, mentoring missionaries, and supporting His global church—we are expressing our love for Him in the most tangible way possible.
Loving People with a Purpose
Our love for God naturally overflows into a deep, unwavering love for people. This love motivates us to see the potential in every individual and community we encounter. It's what drives Shaun to coach and mentor youth leaders, empowering them to become change-makers in their own nations. It’s what inspires Faraja in her administrative role, ensuring that missionaries on the field have the support they need to thrive. When we develop and equip leaders, we are truly loving people, giving them the tools and confidence to build a better future for themselves and those around them.
Our journey is a testament to the transformative power of this principle. We have seen faith ignite, hope take root, and love change lives. We are humbled to be a small part of God's big plan, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share His love with the world.
Thank you for being a part of this journey with us. Together, we can continue to live out this truth: when we Love God, we are empowered to Love People and change the world one life at a time.
Loving God
