All that God has prepared for and wills to give to man may be summarized in these two words: heaven and earth.

In this connection, "heaven" is the divine, unmerited favor of God which includes the eradication of just judgment upon sin, man's restoration to sonship in and acceptance by God, and the hope of a resurrection from death to eternal life through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

From its earliest days LHRAA has wanted to "help the church fill the role of leadership in the field of human relations assigned to her by her Lord." Specific care was taken not to isolate that ministry to problems in Negro-white relations. Accordingly we have, through the years, addressed ourselves to areas involving the Indian American, Appalachian whites, Puerto Ricans, migrant workers, victims of poverty, and others.
