“Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call for the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned,

he will be forgiven.” James 5: 13-15

OUR MISSION Our mission is to know God; cultivate a right relationship with Him; and live, grow

and serve as Christian disciples.

OUR VISION We envision Brighter Day Ministries as avital, vibrant, visible and growing

community of faith, passionately modeling the life of Christ through significant and healthy relationships with believers, unbelievers and seekers.

"Each of you should look not only to your own interest, but also to the interests of others.

Your attitude should be the same as Christ Jesus." Philippians 2:4 & 5
