Reaching out to the Community: The act of sharing
"If you love me, you will obey what I command." - John 14:15
One of the mission of our church, Mactan Christian Centre is to reach out to the Community especially to the less fortunate. This is to fulfill our purpose statement, "To build a strong and living relationship with God, each other and the community."
Every year we planned of having a major outreach program like having prison outreach or in home for the aged or even the abandoned kids in the center, where we give not only food for the stomach but most especially food for the soul. As Jesus said, "Man does not live by bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."
Also we have different fellowships every month namely:men's fellowship, women's fellowship and youth fellowship to encourage each member and keep our relationship strong in the Lord and to each other. In every fellowship we make sure that we reach out to the people outside the church by giving them snacks or clothing. Sometimes we invited kids to our church and give them free meals and snacks every month in children's outreach and we also have Daily Vacation Bible School.
"If you don't want to be greedy, GIVE. ", it's one of the thing that I will not forget about our pastor's teaching.
It's nice to always reach out to those in need. Keep doing what you're doing. Wish you all the best :)
Yeah.. Thanks @themarshann :)
actually bread is a pretty poor choice of fuel, too much oxidative stress, especially if we are carbohydrate intolerant ie diabetic. better than starving though.
if your still young, you may come to learn that you don't need to follow anyone, trust yourself, you may find that you are a really kind and loving person even without anyone to tell you what that is supposed to look like.
A real gift is not a trade..it is un-conditional..anything else is either business or politics...you know religion.
I can still remember the memories I had with DVBS when I was still a kid.
