OUTREACH
Outreach and Evangelism aspires to provide opportunities for students to extend the mercy and compassion of Christ. As Christians, we are called to "loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke . . . to share your food with the hungry and provide the poor wanderer with shelter - when you see the naked, to cloth them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood." (Isaiah 58:6 & 7). Outreach teams, compelled by the love of Christ, reach out to extend the grace of Christ to a world that is desperately in need.
GOSPEL
We challenge students to step out and preach the Good News of Jesus Christ - the Riches of His Grace, the Comprehensive ness of His Liberation, the Vitality of His Healing, and the Totality of His Peace. "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord so favor (Luke 4:18 & 19). Students grow in their understanding of God so plan of salvation and are equipped and trained to communicate the gospel more effectively.
SERVING & CARING
With a heart of mercy & compassion, and a mind filled with the knowledge of the Good News of Jesus Christ, outreach opportunities challenge students to "learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful" (Titus 3:14). Each ministry shares the truth about Christ s love and grace through creative and innovative approaches. Such practical opportunities can be pivotal in developing a student s ability to positively integrate Christianity into today so culture. The truth of our faith is made complete as the call to love our neighbor is put into practical service and compassionate caring.
DISCIPLESHIP
Through building a platform for discipleship through evangelism, we desire that believers would grow in their faith, producing fruit that is in accordance with a Spirit-filled life. Christ s call to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" is completed through intentional efforts to invest our lives in people rather than in programs (Matthew 28:19&20).
Outreach and Evangelism opportunities also enhance community living. By bringing together people who share common interests and concerns, these programs allow students to build friendships based upon service, fellowship, accountability, and support (Eph. 4:16).
As a Christian community entrusted with the gift of grace given to us by Jesus Christ, we desire to share His Love and His Truth in a meaningful and practical way.
