My Future Ministry : My Future Ministry

The homeless people always come back to the warm shelters, and I would too if I were in there place. But when my Dad told me about what he saw and the stories he heard I began to get very curious.

As Matthew 6:1-4 and Romans 12:6-8 tells stated, we all have different gifts from God and we should use them no matter what it is. One of the gift everyone has is giving. Everyone has this ability and power to give, even the poorest one. Give to the needy without announcing it. Do it with love and not wanting yourself to look like a kindest person in the world. It is so much better to be someone who can give rather than being someone who receives and the one that you give will eventually give you back when the time comes. In the time of need, if you never give anything, you will most likely not get any help from anyone. It’s more blessed to give than receive. God has given us the opportunity to be a blessing to someone. The bible tells us that when our heart is set on blessing others, God will bless us in the process.(biblereasons.com) One of the easy ways that can make people to start giving is to not think of yourself more highly than you ought. Matthew 7:1-2 made it clear that if you judge other people, you too will also be judged. Romans 12:3-5 also stated that through Christ, we all belong to each other. However, the verse is not telling you to not judge, but to make evaluations, to be discerning and to even make a judgement.(“Don’t Judge?” Greg Laurie) "Don't you realize that someday we believers will judge the world? And since you are going to judge the world, can't you decide even these little things among yourselves?"(Corinthians 6:2, NIV) If we stop to think of ourselves more highly than others, we can easily start to give to others without thinking much and the world will be so much

    Firstly I want to be remembered as a servant of the Lord. I wish to show others the love of Christ through my actions and willingness to serve. I have dedicated  my time to help serve others. Joining the Chik-Fil-A Leader Academy here at school has helped me be able to reach out and serve those in need. This program has been an asset for me to understand what it means to serve.

I wasn’t aware of the importance of doing good for others, until recently that I witnessed it with my own eyes. It all started when was at Chicago, a random man helped out a homeless man and bought him some food. I noticed as I was in line that the cashier then gave the helping man a free choice to pick something he wanted due to the action he did. After that day I began to make an attempt at helping out more and being a better person in general.

Look closely at the triangular piece of land next to some freeway ramps and you may spot a couple of plastic tarps or even a dome tent hidden among the bushes and weeds. Every major metropolitan area in the United States has a homeless population and according to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), in 2014 there were about 578,000 homeless individuals (Robinson, 2014). Historically, the accuracy of that number was debated because of inconsistent counting methods throughout the nation, so the federal government issued a mandate to communities, requiring communities to create an information system that counts homeless individuals. Local communities gathered data in

My vision for evangelism is denying self to serve and be reflection of Jesus as I minister and love others. I would like those attributes to be a part of my daily life and walk in the fruit of the Spirit so, that other people will feel the love of God. I have gained so much knowledge from this course that I can take what I have learned and apply it in my own life to become a better person and to help others. In my Christian walk, my vision is to look for ways to be a blessing to others and to make an impact in my family and community. Also, ministering the word of faith thereby, changing mindsets and lives. Therefore, to help equip the believer so that it will cause them to live according to the word of God. However, there are a few changes I feel that I need to make in my life to be more effective as

Within the streets of New York you'll see many homeless people living on the streets with no place to go and no food to eat. Too many families and

By being shown kindness, I believe they will become jovial and want to share their excitement with even more people. This, in turn, will lead them to show kindness to someone else, creating a ripple effect. For example, complimenting someone on their clothes may cause them to feel loved and compliment someone else. This could leave a lasting impact on their minds and change the way that they view others and themselves. In addition, this could also lead them to finding and accepting Jesus Christ into their lives. While we may never know how much our kindness really meant, if a simple act such as this leads to someone finding the lord and accepting him into their heart then I believe it is worth it. After all, doesn’t God show us kindness every

I see community service as the key element to my future. I believe that each person should leave the world a little better than how they found it. Community service has held a huge part of my life already. I currently am very involved with a program called Candlelighters. Candlelighters is a program that works with cancer patients and their families. As a part of the Candlelighters program I have seen many children lose their lives to cancer. Each child has left a mark on my heart, and I am a better person for knowing them.

Unfortunately, the way that the world functions is that some are better off than others, which is why I value being able to help people. The Bible gives us a difficult challenge – to, as often as possible, stop thinking about ourselves and put the needs of others before our own. While this can be difficult to do because it often involves self-sacrifice, it is always worth any expended effort because, as Jesus said, when we serve our neighbor, we also serve Him. Aiding others in their situations may not always be the “easy way out” or the “cool” thing to do, but that is the beauty of the action – often, there is no better feeling than to lay down all your personal concerns to help somebody else.

* One thing is always sure when you 're a nice person; people will tend to reciprocate in your time of need because as individuals, we 're bound to face challenges, disappointments and looses at some point in our lives. When you 've been nice to others during their struggles, it 's more likely they will return the favor during your hard times. That is just human nature, most of us feel really motivated to help those that have helped us, i am a very sure bet in this regard. It’s an aspect of me that i strive to do more often because i feel that individual has slightly changed my world with his acts of kindness. This is significantly valuable and it makes us feel important which is something we all want as individuals.

     Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God. Many people today seem to look over the poor and needy. The people who are the poorest may be the happiest. We have to be able to look at these people and see how wonderful they really are. They may not ask for anything but when someone offers to give them something they truly do cherish it. Even if it is just a slice of bread or a pair of old shoes, or even a blanket. Today we can give to charities to help these people because somewhere someone is getting that blanket you did not want and it is the thing that is keeping him warm all winter.

My personal mission theology is disciplining and proclaiming the pure word of God in the correct context to those that claim to be abiding in Jesus Christ. This includes pointing out and warning them against false doctrine and belief systems. Contrasting what the modern institutions preach about what it means to be a child of God against what scripture actually says it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.

When I’m out with my friends, weather we are picking up fast food, or stopping at a red light, and I see a what I assume to be a homeless person asking for change, I’m usually the person that will give them any lose change or singles that I have. Many of my friends hate that I do this, but someone some how I empathize with those people. So naturally when I was asked to do something that I’ve never done before, I chose to visit a homeless shelter.

First of all, any missional mental model should be derived from missio Dei itself, which is "the mission of God to bring about redemption of the world" (Sunquist 2013, 7). When we carry this mission out in suffering for God’s eternal glory, we need to imagine how in the future his goodness, his beauty, and his harmony will cover the entire creation. I think it’s necessary for us to have this vision of his glory and be aware that whatever we do is not our own ministry. The idea of us joining the ministry of Jesus Christ is
