OUTREACH MINISTRY

THE GREAT COMMISSION

"All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. (Matthew 28:18-20)

SERVING OTHERS
Standing at the front of the church, thirty minutes before the service a drunk man walked up to me and said he wanted to come into church! At that split second, i had a choice, do i encourage him not to come in and possibly disrupt the service (the choice i would of taken in the past) or if i truly take my lead from Jesus to reach out, then how could i not show this guy compassion. As we sat in the church, he told me through tear stained eyes that he had been baptised eight months ago in a church in Carryduff and he had backslidden, that he is in the paramilitaries, that he is an alcoholic, that is wife was a drug user. He told me of his joy at being in a church and how it made him feel. He stayed in the service for fifteen minutes before asking to leave, as we embraced each other i invited him to return when he felt the need. He refused a lift home, said goodbye and then was gone. I thank God for the opportunity to serve this guy, and made me eager for more.
