Partnering for Community
Outreach
Local churches often have a vision for the lost in their
community. However, we acknowledge that this can be
hard work and that we can feel isolated and alone. In
this workshop we will learn from like-minded churches
how we can work together, especially with camps, to
strengthen, deepen and potentially accelerate the
church’s community outreach and help fulfil Christ’s
mission
Matthew 28:18-19 – the great
commission
Then Jesus came to them and said. All authority in
heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore,
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. And surely, I am with you always, to
the very end of the age.”
Authority
come from Jesus – we can have boldness and
confidence
Go
out into the world. Travel where the lost reside
Making disciples
is an active process we all participate
in. It is a hard, lengthy and sometimes messy process
however we are in this together
All nations
(or all peoples) no matter their background.
The Church in the community
My friends, what good is it for one of you to say that you have
faith if your actions do not prove it? Can that faith save you?
Suppose there are brothers and sisters who need clothes and
don’t have enough to eat. What good is there in your saying to
them,” God bless you! Keep warm and eat well!” – if you
don’t give them the necessities of life? So it is with faith: if it
is alone and includes no actions, then it is dead .
JAMES 2:14-17
The Church in the community
Love must be completely sincere. Hate what is evil, hold onto what is
good. Love one another warmly as Christians, and be eager to show
respect for one another. Work hard and do not be lazy. Serve the Lord
with a heart full of devotion. Let your hope keep you joyful, be patient
in your troubles, and pray at all times. Share your belongings with your
needy fellow Christians, and open your home to strangers. Ask God to
bless those who persecute you – yes, ask him to bless, not to curse. Be
happy with those who are happy, weep with those who weep. Have the
same concern for everyone. Do not be proud, but accept humble duties.
Do not think of yourselves as wise. ROMANS 12:9-16
The Church in the community
You are like salt for the whole human race. But if salt loses its
saltiness, there is no way to make it salty again. It has become
worthless, so it is thrown out and people trample on it.
You are like a light for the whole world. A city built on a hill
cannot be hid. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a bowl;
instead it is put on the lampstand, where it gives light for
everyone in the house. In the same way your light must shine
before people, so that they will see the good things you do and
praise your Father in heaven. MATTHEW 5:13-16

So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes
through the message about Christ’. Romans 10:17
Local churches with a vision for community outreach can benefit from collaborative efforts with like-minded organizations. Embracing the great commission and extending a helping hand can lead to meaningful impact and growth in fulfilling Christ's mission. This workshop delves into the importance of genuine faith manifesting through actions, emphasizing love, respect, and service to those in need.
