'Pure religion' pushed us out of our depth, but Jesus showed up | Pure Religion Project

The latest video release from the Pure Religion Project features Kondo Simfukwe, Pastor of Mission Point Community Church in Warsaw, IN. Kondo shares how, while many in their church, including his own family, engaged more deeply in some very hard and difficult places, they saw Jesus in some new and profoundly beautiful ways.

“...that's been the story we've heard with so many in our church - that we stepped into these spaces and realized we were out of our depth and we were struggling and we were lonely, and we cried out to Jesus and He showed up and he brought other people around us; and we saw Him as better than we ever imagined and closer than we'd ever known Him…and that's just been the story and the chorus we've heard over and over again - dependent people crying out to Jesus and experiencing him in the middle of the mess and finding him to be exactly as he says he is.”

Pure Religion Project is a focused initiative inspired by the members of the Christian Alliance for Orphans and the broader CAFO community, designed to help churches live out the “pure religion” described in James 1:27 and invited throughout Scripture. Through world-class resources, supportive community and ongoing connection and coaching, The Pure Religion Project at CAFO wants to help you lead your church with assurance, hope and the help you need.
