“I’ve set you up as light to all nations.
You’ll proclaim salvation to the four winds and seven seas!”
acts 13:47
WHAT DOES 4W7S STAND FOR?
4w7s stands for “four winds and seven seas,” we’ve been praying asking God to give us a theme verse, and He led us to Acts 13:47 (The Message), some Bible translations say “four corners”, but we felt The Message version fits the calling The Lord has been planting on our hearts for years.
