Assess the current ministry of your congregation
| While the traditional mercy ministries that many churches offer can be important in meeting specific, short-term material needs, they often mis-serve poor people. . . . Ask: Does this ministry truly empower people or just provide them with a temporary handout? Is this ministry distinctively Christian, or does it merely imitate secular social service providers? And does this ministry challenge us, as a congregation, to be personally involved in serving our needy neighbors? (Restorers of Hope, page 138) |
