The church of Jesus Christ is a community of people who care for people. We care for people because God loves and cares for everyone, believers and not yet believers.
For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jn 3:16 The Living Bible, Paraphrased
The pagan culture in New Testament times was brutal. The husband in Greek and Roman culture was the absolute ruler. He could order his wife to keep a male baby but to leave a girl baby outside to die of hunger or cold.
Slave traders would harvest female babies and raise them to be prostitutes. Christians in the early church would rescue abandoned female babies and raise them as daughters.
Christian churches are called to care for people.
Churches in my city provide free evening meals to people in need. Some churches collect surplus bread from bakers and shops and offer them free to neighbours in need.
The motto of my church is to reach, raise and release.
We reach needy people with free food and not for profit food shops.
Churches in my city have schools for teenage high school dropouts.
Our pastor reaches teenagers by teaching jujitsu. Before that we had a pastor who played basketball with neighbourhood kids. Some of them then came to church and he played basketball with them in the church hall after the service.
We team up with churches in India and Africa who reach out to their communities with practical help and sharing the gospel of salvation.
We reach people and care for people, raising them up with encouraging counselling and bible training.
We release people into ministry, sending teams on mission trips to Africa, India and other Asian countries.
