The short definition of holistic ministry is properly balancing evangelism and social justice Life in Christ is contributing to the overall revitalization of the community, because we participate in that revitalization at every level, the spiritual, the economic, the educational, the social. Den korte definition af holistisk ministerium er korrekt afvejning forkynder evangeliet og social retfærdighed Livet i Kristus er at bidrage til den samlede revitalisering af samfundet, fordi vi deltager i denne revitalisering på alle niveauer, det åndelige, det økonomiske, uddannelsesmæssige, sociale.
The transforming power of the gospel ought to be evident, not by looking at people on their way into church, but on their way out of church. De omdanne kraften i evangeliet burde være indlysende, ikke ved at se på folk på deres vej ind i kirken, men på deres vej ud af kirken.
The gospel in the hearts and mouths and hands of those who dare to call themselves Christian, makes the difference. Evangeliet i hjerter og munden og hænderne på dem, der vover at kalde sig kristen, gør forskellen.
Holistic ministry provides probably one of the greatest satisfactions that one could imagine. Holistisk ministerium er formentlig en af de største satisfactions, at man kunne forestille sig. At the same time, it is so very costly - emotionally, psychologically, physically, and even financially. Samtidig er det er så meget dyrere - følelsesmæssigt, psykisk, fysisk, og selv økonomisk. Because the traditional view of church is that you have a worship service on Sunday, you may have a mid-week Bible study, but essentially, you fulfill your commitment and to God by doing those two things, whereas God's very clear about wanting us to address the needs of the poor and to comfort those who are hurting. Fordi den traditionelle opfattelse af kirken er, at du har en tilbedelse service på søndag, kan du have en mid-uge Bibelen undersøgelse, men det væsentlige, skal du opfylde dit engagement og til Gud ved at gøre disse to ting, mens Guds meget klart om at ville for os at imødekomme behovene hos de fattige og til trøst dem, der er skadelig.
There's this thing, this mentality, that has somehow made it's way into the body of Christ, that says that, "I can send my check and feel good that I'm involved." Der er denne ting, denne mentalitet, der har anden gjort det på vej ind i kroppen af Kristus, der siger, at "jeg kan sende mine kontrollere og føler sig godt, at jeg er involveret." But the other thing, that is missing is direct contact and involvement, because you cannot build relationship through a checkbook. Men de andre ting, at man savner, er den direkte kontakt og engagement, fordi du ikke kan bygge forholdet gennem en checkbook.
A cross-cultural partnership is important to our ministry because we recognize that we can't do the entire job that God has called us to do alone. Tværs af kulturelle partnerskaber er vigtige for vores ministerium, fordi vi erkender, at vi ikke kan gøre hele det arbejde, Gud har kaldet os til at gøre alene. This probably is the greatest witness to the world, that the body of Christ comes together in cooperation. Dette er sandsynligvis er den største vidne til verden, at selve Kristus kommer sammen i samarbejde. |
