two:nineteen

2:19 is from Ephesians chapter 2, where Paul addresses new believers in Ephesus. Coming from so many different cultural and religious backgrounds church might have been chaos! Or worse still, they might have divided off into mono-cultural congregations. But Paul reminds them that Christ, through his work on the cross, has brought them together in his church, made them one and preached to them his peace.

2:19 exists to help local churches embrace the nations by promoting Christian engagement between members of local churches and the speakers of other languages in their community.

Such engagement is encouraged through English language teaching activities and other means of stimulating gospel outreach and cultural integration. We place special emphasis on two different aspects – reaching out and integrating within.
