✨ Sharing Good News ✨

A story from John after attending our Fresh Expressions Learning Community last weekend:

“Absolutely what ministry and outreach is about - it’s to meet people where they’re at. Just as Jesus done, he went out to the poor, the needy. The unpopular, the salt of the earth as they refer to them. And he absolutely got alongside them, he got to know them and he served them. That’s what I would encourage you to do; think about on your journey, who have you served in this week? And how would you like to be able to serve more in your communities?”

A simple but powerful challenge for us all as we seek to live out our faith in everyday places.
