"Where ever you live around this world, you are
strategically placed by your creator to be magnificently effective for
His kingdom."
Some of us are located in big cities with
homeless populations that are climbing daily, some are in rural counties
where jobs are scarce and poverty is rampant. Others live in middle
class suburbia where families rush from soccer games to swim practice
and seldom have time for meaningful relationships. Still others are in
upper class neighborhoods where the race to achieve the American dream
has created self reliant individuals with no hope beyond their bank
account.
In every one of these areas, Christ is reaching out. He
is using His people to glorify His name to those whom He loves dearly.
Christ does this by using those who are called by His name to be His
hands and feet. Everyday you encounter someone who you can be Jesus to
that day. We are here to facilitate ways for you to be involved in
meaningful ministry to those you encounter every day in the market
places of your lives.
We began this project at our Church by a
random idea by my friend Brad. Brad wanted to take one of our mornings
at the church where we serve on staff and bake cookies. His idea was to
bake the cookies and make bags to take to the local mall to hand out to
the workers. We included a good simple to understand Gospel tract, a
loving smile and an offer to pray with them for any needs they may have.
Community Jesus had begun.
So, what can you do to surprise
someone with the love of Jesus? Bake cookies? Take blankets to the
homeless under the bridge? How about a gift basket for the
administrators of your public school? Serving others and pointing them
to Christ with no strings attached...just the love of God.
