“So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another” (1 Corinthians 12:12). It is very important that Christians understand that the work of the Kingdom will be better served if we work in a unified manner (teamwork) in the local church, the district and the jurisdiction. The quality and quantity of our efforts will improve as we move forward in unity and harmony.
