ap·er·ture – a space through which light passes in an optical or photographic instrument, especially the variable opening by which light enters a camera.
The smaller the aperture the less light is allowed in, the wider the aperture the more light is allowed in. With a narrowly set aperture, everything around is in focus, but nothing is specifically a focal point. However, with a widely set aperture you can focus in on something specifically, draw the attention to that something while everything in the background is blurred out.
Whether we view the world through a narrow or wide aperture, each yields a unique and differing perspective! A-midst the same situation each person may take away something different, or provide something others may have not seen because each individual is uniquely made!
Team Aperture is all about gaining perspective! Whether it be seeing through our neighbors eyes, or through the lens of the people we are witnessing too. Whether our perspective is of this world or not, we desire to look beyond ourselves. To drop personal agendas and pick up Kingdom agendas! To take our focus off our own desire, widen our perspective and focus in on serving others for God’s glory alone!
We all had a tough time deciding on a meaningful team name; one that would provide vision, shine a light on our goals, and describe who we are! But Aperture nails it on the head! Each of us come from a different background and have gone through unique experiences throughout our lifetime that have molded us into our unmatched selves . God has gifted us all strongly in different ways and when we join together for one purpose we become one body! 1 Corinthians 12
We grow off one another’s ideas, hear each of our voices, and strengthen each other in our weaknesses. We look through our teammates life lens before our own.
After all it’s not about ourselves, it’s about the team. But it’s not really about the team, it’s about who we go out to serve. But then again, it’s not even really about who we go out to serve, it’s all about God!
