Friends, brothers and sisters in Christ,

Have you longed to behold the glory of God, as Moses did (Exodus 33:18)? At Vertical Life, we believe that yearning is fulfilled. We are a community experiencing the fullness of God's love – a “vertical relationship” that empowers us to extend “horizontal love” to all. We are living out Matthew 28:19, reaching the homebound, the sick, the lost, the orphans, the displaced, military and civilian, bridging cultures in our international community. We plant seeds of hope and nurture them to maturity, even in a transient world.

Commissioned from New York, we serve in Misawa, Japan, extending the hand of God to a globalized community.
