  • The present kingdom of Jesus Christ was declared to a multilingual congregation of witnesses. (Matthew 1, John 20:19–20)
  • The proclaimed kingdom gives birthto vibrant, multilingual congregations in Christ. (Acts 2:42–47, 15, 16:11–15)

    • be patient without compromise
    • Because...
    • The perfected kingdom will be a vibrant, multilingual congregation in Christ! (Rev. 7:9–10)
