Outreach Ministries
The mission directive of the Outreach Ministry at Joshua's Place is "reaching out" to the same people Jesus would, using the same ministry tools and approach the He would use. Jesus molded ministry for us.
Matthew 28:19-20 (The Message)
Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: "God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I'll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age."
We can reach them through a variety of formats and then we share the freeing, liberating truths found in Gods' word that transforms peoples lives. Outreach is a ministry of love and compassion.
* Offer them the news of the gospel.
* Unlimited possibilities are at our disposal to reach out
* Teach them once you reach them.
* Relief and restoration comes to the troubled should as the needs of people are met.
* Encouragement is the experience.
* Affirmation comes as people realize they are valued, loved and accepted.
* Consistently meet the needs of people.
* Healing comes to a community on many levels when relevant outreach takes place.
