1. Because we see the people that need help when HOPE is lost
2. Because most churches offer no training to help YOU restore HOPE
9/10 churches purpose NONE of their programs to Train you with the Skills to rescue the hopeless.
4/5 churches purpose ALL of their programs on helping your vertical (You & God) relationship.
3. Because God wants US to restore HOPE
We are commanded to TAKE CARE:
of the poor (Deuteronomy 15:1-18; Psalm 35:10; Matthew 6:1-4, 19-21)
of orphans and widows (Deuteronomy 24:17-21; James 1:27)
of the hungry, thirsty, strangers, naked, sick and those in prison (Leviticus 19:9-18, 33-34; Matthew 25:44-45)
4. Because YOU are the best “program” to restore HOPE in your community
Many church outreach plans do not involve going off the church property. They always get you to help their program be a success. Usually IN the church building or to an offsite short-term event to chance strangers.
Many leaders never ask how they can help YOU rescue and set free your hopeless friends and neighbors.
YOU are the church’s best program to restore hope in your community!
