First Step Action is simply the initial step taken to be the bridge to Second Step help while showing Jesus-like compassion to those that you come across in life. A great example of 1st step action is the Good Samaritan in the parable of the Good Samaritan found in the Bible (Luke 10:30-37). We believe being nice and doing Acts of Kindness is always a good thing.
Here are some short-term commitment ideas that just may “make” someone’s day and restore hope.
Acts of Kindness Ideas:
Smile and compliment someone Say “Hello” Hold a door open Give a meal to those that are hungry Visit someone that is in the hospital Bring Christmas to kids less fortunate Offer help to those needing help
Bridge Action Ideas:
Drive a drug addict to rehab Take a homeless person to a shelter Take a hungry person to a food center Take a couple to a marriage counselor Take an abused survivor to the police Take someone to the hospital
Relationship info you need:
Are any of your friends losing hope?
Other info you need:
When are visiting hours at the hospital? Where is a drug rehab center near you? Where is a shelter and food center near you? Is a Dream Center type church near you?
For your safety:
Who will know that you are helping others? How will you contact the police if needed?
