2 Corinthians 3: 1-6 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
As mortal men we in ourselves are inadequate and unable to accomplish good, but through our insufficiency Christ sufficiency reigns eternal.
May God make ThreeSixty a ministry that does not desire, pursue, seek after or need verbal commendation or letters of testimonial to demonstrate the impact of our ministry, but rather may our delight be found in the testimony written by the Spirit of the living God on the tablets of the hearts of the participants of ThreeSixty and those they minister too.
Father, use us in such a way that only you will receive the glory.

The Inaugural Class
God, in His sovereignty, has brought together four young men from diverse backgrounds to be united together through the power of the Spirit of God as the inaugural class of ThreeSixty. Together these young men will journey through the next four years of their lives as God prepares them to impact the world for His glory.
Two of the young men had their families torn apart at an early age by the Muslim government in the middle of war torn Sudan because of their family’s faith in Christ. Rather than having their family taken away from them, the other two young men were removed from their families at an early age by authorities as a result of their parent’s drug abuse and an unstable home environment. Through God's grace He has demonstrated himself mightily in each of the young men's lives and has now united Andrew, Bullen, Jerime and Stephen together, setting aside their differences in pursuit of a life in which "Christ is all and in all".
May God work in these young men's lives and the ministry of ThreeSixty in such a way that only He would receive the glory!
