Why Ignite?
“More and more, the desire grows in me simply to walk around, greet people, enter their homes, sit on their doorsteps, play ball, throw water, and be known as someone who wants to live with them. It is a privilege to have the time to practice this simple ministry of presence. Still, it is not as simple as it seems. My own desire to be useful, to do something significant, or to be part of some impressive project is so strong that soon my time is taken up by meetings, conferences, study groups, and workshops that prevent me from walking the streets. It is difficult not to have plans, not to organize people around an urgent cause, and not to feel that you are working directly for social progress.
But I wonder more and more if the first thing shouldn’t be to know people by name, to eat and drink with them, to listen to their stories and tell your own, and to let them know with words, handshakes, and hugs that you do not simply like them, but truly love them.”
-Henri Nouwen

IGNITE COVENANT
Out of love for Christ, love for the lost, and love for my fellow team members, I will continually grow in my Christian life and character, through a deepening of my relationship with God. Serve the mission of my placements and Jesus Christ in every possible way. Serve my team members in every possible way for the sake of the team’s mission, the personal growth of its members, and team unity. Live a life of integrity and authenticity for the sake of my brothers and sisters, and for the sake of the Kingdom. Live in compliance with the Ignite guidelines.
“The place God calls you is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”
-Frederick Buechner
