Outreach Ministries

The purpose of Outreach Ministries is to give the Body an opportunity to: minister to those in need, provide for the believers, and spread the gospel locally, nationally and globally, thereby fulfilling the call of Christ. This is done through three branches:

Reaching out to meet needs in Jesus’ name

Matt 25:35-40
35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ 40 “The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’ (NIV)

This would be things like CRCC, Door of Faith Orphanage, blanket ministry and even Samaritan’s Purse (since it is primarily need, not evangelism driven)

Providing for the Body

Acts 2:44-45
4 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. (NIV)

James 1:26-27
27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. (NIV)

This would be what we call benevolence

Missions

Matt 28:19-20
19 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, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (NIV)

Gospel for Asia, and any local evangelistic opportunities
