"Our vision is to raise a standard which exhorts the beloved in Christ to fear God alone, knowing that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of that which is not seen. Faith is trusting that God’s Word is true, even when there is no empirical evidence to back it up. This is the entire lesson of Hebrews 11 which outlines the great heroes of our faith."
