Strengthening a Commitment to Outreach Jačanje obvezu dosezati

Strengthening a commitment to outreach: Jačanje obvezu dosezati:

Why this step is important: What does it take to become a mission-oriented church-a church that shares God's self-sacrificial love for the lost, lonely, and broken, and cultivates a commitment toward outreach as a key element of discipleship? Zašto je ovaj korak važan: Što je potrebno da postane misija orijentirana crkva-crkva koja dijeli Božje samo-za zrtveno ljubavi izgubljeno, usamljeno, i slomljen, i cultivates obaveza prema dosezati kao ključni element discipleship? Becoming mission-centered is a transformational process. Postaje zadatak usmjeren je transformational proces. There are two main hurdles to be overcome. Postoje dva glavna vještačka prepreka biti prevladana. First is an inward focus that keeps the church from reaching out to the community. Prva je unutarnji fokus koji se čuva u crkvi od postizanja do zajednice. Second are the barriers that keep the church isolated from the community. Drugi su prepreke koje održavaju crkvu izolirani od zajednice. Strengthening a commitment to outreach requires intentional efforts to place mission at the center of congregational life, as well as training and activities to help overcome barriers of race, class and ability that may separate your congregation from the community. Jačanje obvezu dosezati zahtijeva namjerno nastojanja da se misija u središtu congregational života, kao i obuka i aktivnosti kako bi premostili prepreke u pogledu rase, klase i mogućnost da vaš svibanj zasebne zajednice iz zajednice.

Why it is helpful: Despite the overall movement toward a holistic understanding of the gospel in the last few decades, too many American churches still neglect outreach. Zašto je koristan: Usprkos sveukupnu kretanje prema holistički razumijevanje evanđelje u posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća, previše američkih crkava i dalje dosezati zanemariti. A major hurdle to overcome in many churches is the inward-focused, "social club" understanding that the church exists to serve the needs of its membership. Prihvaćena u prevladavanju prepreka u mnogim crkvama je unutra-fokusiran, "društveni klub" razumijevanje da je crkva postoji da služi potrebama svojih članova. Church members are often isolated from the spiritual and social needs around them, and find it difficult to connect with and welcome people who are different. Crkva članovi su često izolirane od duhovnih i socijalnih potreba oko njih, a pronaći ga teško povezati s ljudima koji su i dobrodošli su različite. Thus a key step in growing a holistic congregation is to cultivate a commitment to reaching out beyond the walls of the church, as a central expression of the congregation's faith and worship. Tako je ključni korak u rastu holistički zajednica je njegovati obvezu postizanja se izvan zidina crkve, kao centar izraz zajednicu vjere i poklonim. This entails reinforcing an outward-looking paradigm, and building bridges of trust and caring with the community. To uključuje jačanje jedan izvanjski izgleda paradigma, zgrade i mostove povjerenja i brigu sa zajednicom.

Your church might benefit from this step if ... the congregation does not understand or resists the notion that being the church entails reaching out beyond the church; outreach is simply not on the church's radar screen; the church thinks of mission only in terms of overseas projects and not local outreach; the congregation is isolated from the community of ministry and not exposed to spiritual and social needs; outreach ministry is hindered by prejudices, fears, or other personal barriers; the congregation is comfortable with the familiarity of their in-group and not welcoming of outsiders. Vaša crkva može imati koristi od ovaj korak ako ... zajednicu ne razumije ili resists je pojam koji se crkva povlači iz dostizanje izvan crkve; dosezati je jednostavno ne na crkvu je radarski ekran; crkva misli o misiji samo u smislu prekomorske projekata, a ne lokalnim dosezati; zbor je izoliran iz zajednice službe ne izložen duhovnih i socijalnih potreba; dosezati Ministarstvo je hindered by predrasude, strahovi, ili druge osobne prepreke; zbor je udoban sa poznavanje njihovih in - grupe, a ne prihvaćanja od vani.
