As we respond to the missional call of God on our lives, we need to look into the future and ask ourselves: What would Kelowna look like if the rule and reign of God were made real among us? How would our lives have to change? How would the ministry focus of WPC need to change? Today, will talk about some of the dreams God is placing on our hearts for the coming months and years. Together we need to cry out - "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." Key Passage: Numbers 13 & 14
