I’m a Catalyst.
A “catalyst” is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change.
We know that Jesus came and He changed everything! He reached the lost, trained the saved and sent the equipped.
The church should duplicate Christ and be a catalyst for a world that desperately needs change. Time to ignite some change.
