Together we make up Team Sozo. We got the team name from a book a few of us read called “One Thousand Gifts.” It says, Many translations render sozo as being made “well” or “whole,” but its literal meaning, I read it – “to save.” Sozo means salvation. It means true wellness, complete wholeness. To live sozo is to live the full life. Jesus came that we might live life to the full; He came to give us sozo.

Jesus came to give me sozo AND Team Sozo! And I am sozo grateful for them! (see what I did there? hehe) 

 

Please pray for us as a team! Community is so hard, and it’s even harder when you live together, eat together, and breathe together! Fun and laughter come so easy to this team, but we want to be intentional about unity! Please be praying for the unity, the love, and the grace this team has for each other!
