"We love because he first loved us."
1 John 4:19
The Four Nineteen project is all about love and dating from Christian perspective. 1 John 4:19 shows us where love comes from and reminds us of the ultimate sacrificial love we have received from Jesus. Therefore, the way we love cannot be separated from our faith. The stories that are included are incredibly personal and took a lot of courage to tell. I thank the participants immensely. The hope is that these videos would give you a new mindset when thinking about this important topic.
