| (Transcribed from the video, "What is Holistic Ministry," (Transskriberet fra videoen, "Hvad er Holistisk ministeriet," available at 1-800-650-6600) tilgængelig på 1-800-650-6600) For God so loved the world, not loved the people in church, but loved the world and so that he gave his only Son, and that's what we are called to do, too. For således elskede Gud verden, ikke elskede de mennesker i kirken, men elskede verden og så, at han gav sin eneste søn, og det er, hvad vi er kaldet til at gøre også. To love this world that God gave us At elske denne verden, at Gud gav os And when Jesus brings shalom, which is the restoration of the whole creation, that's real peace. Og når Jesus bringer Shalom, som er den restaurering af hele skabelsen, det er virkelig fred. That only comes from a relationship with God, and a relationship with each other. At der kun kommer fra et forhold til Gud, og et forhold til hinanden. I think that the phrase that I hear when someone is grateful for support is that, "You were there for me, not that you gave me this, or you did this for me, you were THERE for me" and that's the definition of God for us. Jeg tror, at den sætning, jeg hører, når nogen er taknemmelig for støtte er, at "Du var der for mig, ikke, at du gav mig dette, eller du gjorde det for mig, du var der for mig", og det er definitionen af Gud for os. New Creation [Church] is bringing people of different backgrounds, different languages, different life experiences, different countries, and we're all together, not because of who we are really, but because of who God is in us. New Creation [Kirken] er at bringe folk med forskellig baggrund, forskellige sprog, forskellige erfaringer, forskellige lande, og vi alle sammen, ikke på grund af hvem vi er virkelig, men på grund af, hvem Gud er med os. We try to bring the church out in the community, by planting gardens, by painting murals over once what was graffiti, and, by cleaning up the neighborhood, by working with the neighbors to demand better services from the city, and particularly by being a place for children and families with children which is so needed here. Vi forsøger at bringe kirken ud i samfundet, ved at plante haver, ved at male vægmalerier over en gang, hvad der var graffiti, og ved at rydde op i nabolaget, ved at arbejde sammen med naboerne at kræve bedre service fra byen, og især ved at være en sted for børn og familier med børn, som er så nødvendig her. Community ministry brings you energy. EF-ministerium giver dig energi. Serving people brings you life, too. Visning folk bringer dig liv, også. Sure there's gonna be mistakes and you're gonna fall, but you're also gonna be uplifted, and it's a lot of fun. Sikker på, at der vil være fejl, og du vil falde, men du også vil være Hævede, og det er smaddersjovt. |
