In Matthew 28, Jesus tells the His followers to go and make disciples. These people were able to make disciples because Jesus had discipled them. What does this look like? How can we disciple people? Yes, we want people to come to know Jesus, but Jesus wants so much more for each of us.
Those involved with this ministry have overcome so many things from drug addiction to homelessness, abusive childhoods to abusive marriages, not believing in God to knowing Him as our Lord. Coming to know the Lord is an amazing thing, but we also had to learn a new way of living.
We will always want to travel and sow into other churches, recovery groups, and ministries. This is at the core of who we are. However, we would also like to start a recovery home. The lessons that will be taught can be a resource to help other groups as well.
Classes can include:
- Bible studies
- Family restoration
- Parenting
- Home ownership
- Family stress
- Budgeting
- Overcoming pain
- Walking in forgiveness
- Co-dependency
We also want to help a person develop job skills. We believe that the church is like the body of Christ that each of us has different talents and skills that we bring to the table. We believe that most people want to do well but have never been given the tools or the opportunities. By helping them to develop skills they will gain a sense of pride in their accomplishments. Learning ways to provide for and lead their families. Learning ways that they can help others.
Working to help people identify their individual calling and purpose in life, reducing the noise and focusing on hearing God’s voice. As they develop these skills they will begin to walk in their individual gifts and callings, becoming strong followers of Christ able to Christ to the world.
