Rooted in long-term mission work and committed to spiritual formation, we seek to prepare faithful men and women for service wherever God calls them. Your support strengthens and sustains this work.

Ezekiel Stick

“God will make you fruitful in the land of your suffering… Now, I will praise the Lord.”

I have heard about the Ezekiel Stick. So, what exactly is the Ezekiel Stick? In essence, it represents an outward expression inspired by the scripture from Ezekiel 37. This is a powerful story of how God takes suffering (the stick of Ephraim) and praise (the stick of Judah), binds them together and makes them one in His hand. This message has gone around the world. You can read it here: Ezekiel 37: 15-23 and watch the full story of the Ezekiel Sticks.

“God will make you fruitful in the land of your suffering.”

The name Ephraim means, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering.” (Gen 41:52)

“Now I will praise the Lord.”

The name Judah means, “Now I will praise the Lord!” (Gen 29.35)
