"In the beginning, God created...": Bagged Lunch and a Drop of Oil: Multiplying Re$ources for Urban Ministry, I

The following series of articles is from the "Bagged Lunch and a Drop of Oil: Multiplying Re$ources for Urban Ministry" workshop which Jeremy Del Rio wrote for Reload 2006-2007.

Workshop Description:

Called but underfunded. Impassioned and hungry for more. Broke and feeling alone. How do bi-vocational youth workers pay the bills and buy the stuff necessary to get the job done? Jesus received one recorded offering in his career. The disciples didn’t get it. The masses were confused. But a boy with a bagged lunch understood, and his tuna fish sandwich fed 5,000. A husband’s debts nearly cost a widow her son’s freedom. The prophet’s response: “What’s in your hand?” A few drops of oil and a town full of jars later, she bought their freedom. Let’s explore how to turn tuna fish and empty bottles into resources for urban ministry.

How can we use ideas, principles, and techniques from secular treatment in Christian recovery programs?

Submitted by an UrbanMinistry Blogger on Thu, 02/05/2009 - 12:53

Sometimes believers face a dilemma when they consider using some of the research and methodologies of the secular treatment world.  For some, it's all "of the world" and they reject using any of it at all in Christian work with addicted people.  While those who do not have a Christian world view may see these principles in a totally different light, we ought to be able to discern, with the Holy Spirit's help, what aspects of this field of knowledge we can integrate into our mission programs without compromising on revealed truth.
