After experiencing a dramatic conversion 20 years ago, Sebastian found himself struggling to connect with God and slowly drifting back into old habits. His wife, Gosia, tried to convince him to go to the Polish church she attended with their kids at times, but Sebastian had trouble understanding the messages and an even harder time connecting with believers there. They discovered an international bible study run by global workers Lemuel and Brittany at Szczecin Baptist Church, and God brought renewal and hope into their marriage and family. They have learned to study the Bible together, pray as a family, and now that they have experienced genuine Christian community, they both have a passion for sharing it with others.

God is calling you. He is calling you to build bridges of Gospel peace among people of other political parties, of other faiths, of other cultures. The vast majority of Christians live in their silos, quietly praying, “Here am I, Lord, send someone else.” But God is looking for you.

As much as we need bridgebuilding, we need to become bridges ourselves. We need to radically explore our own worlds, our habits, our connections and ask ourselves the hard question: am I living as a bridge or am I living as a silo?

The 51���� Biblical Diversity team is spearheading a vital mission: uniting churches and communities around God’s heart on cultural and social issues. The leaders of this initiative, Pastor Rod Hairston and Pastor Jim Eaton, bring a wealth of experience and a shared passion for biblical diversity, each offering unique perspectives shaped by their personal and professional journeys.
