Principles of CARE Groups
- Accountability
- Equipping
He who begins with a little knowledge, in a
humble way, and tells what he knows, while
seeking diligently for further knowledge, will
find the whole heavenly treasure awaiting his
demand. The more he seeks to impart light,
the more light he will receive. The more one
tries to explain the word of God to others,
with a love for souls, the plainer it becomes
to himself. The more we use our knowledge
and exercise our powers, the more
knowledge and power we shall have.
