EARC 2027
力—— Power Reimagined
EARC 2027 looks at the life of Joseph to ask again: what does "POWER" really mean?
The world tells us power looks like a crown, money, or standing on a podium — success built on politics, money, and competition. But Joseph's story shows something different. He was sold, put in prison, and forgotten. He seemed to have nothing left. Yet in his weakest moment, God's plan and power were still at work.
2027 summer, let's tear open the world's idea of power together — and see what's really inside.
