Holistic ministry is achieving shalom for yourself and your community. Holistisk ministerium er at opnå shalom for dig selv og dit samfund. Material and spiritual needs are naturally connected. Materiale og åndelige behov er naturligvis tilsluttet. Jesus himself, when he was here, he met the physical and material needs of people, as well as the spiritual needs. Jesus selv, da han var her, han mødte den fysiske og materielle behov for personer, såvel som den åndelige behov.

It's very important for churches to engage in ministry to persons in welfare or in transition, and we work with both. Det er meget vigtigt for kirkerne at gå ind i ministerium til personer på velfærd og i forandring, og vi arbejder med begge dele.

If the church does not get involved, we will see more homelessness, more hunger, more crime, more violence, more drug activity, more hopelessness, more shootings, more of all that's wrong in our society today. Hvis kirken ikke bliver inddraget, vil vi se flere hjemløse, mere sult, mere kriminalitet, mere vold, mere stof aktivitet, mere håbløshed, flere skyderier, mere af alt dette er der galt i vores samfund i dag.

The church can, at least, begin a dialogue with the government about how we can have some kind of a partnership, to ensure that the whole person is dealt with in our society in a way that brings life. Kirken kan, i det mindste, indlede en dialog med regeringen om, hvordan vi kan have en vis form for et partnerskab, for at sikre, at hele personen er behandlet i vores samfund på en måde, der bringer liv. Doing holistic ministry is hard - It's hard, in general, to work closely with individuals who are going through a lot of pain, and what makes that more difficult, is to have to do that with limited resources - limited time, limited staff. Doing holistisk ministerium er svært - Det er hårdt, i almindelighed, til at arbejde tæt sammen med personer, der er på vej gennem en masse smerter, og hvad gør det vanskeligere, er at have at gøre med begrænsede ressourcer - begrænset tid, begrænsede personale.

When you're talking about people restoration, without the hope that comes from faith, I don't see that it's possible. Når du taler om mennesker restaurering, uden håb, der kommer fra tro, jeg kan ikke se, at det er muligt.
