What does hasten mean?
has·ten (/ˈhās(ə)n/)
1. hurry, go fast. go quickly
2. cause (something) to happen sooner than it otherwise would.
Our name, Hasten Nations, has a four fold meaning. First, it means that if we are to be God's true friends, that we should RUN to Jesus daily and give Him everything. Secondly, it means that we should run to our neighbors and the nations with the love, hope, and faith of Jesus Christ. Thirdly, right in the name, if you look close, is our long term vision: to establish well Gospel works in ten nations (HasTenNations). And lastly, it comes from 2 Peter 3:11 & 12, where we are told to be people looking forward to the coming of the Lord's day and to hasten it along.
