Compassion ministry

Our church is starting a group called compassion ministry. It is so that we can reach out to our community and give free food to those who needed it. Of course, we also pray that we will also be able to minister to them, if needed and lead them to our savior, Jesus Christ.

Today, after the service, we met with all interested participants and saw the place where our pastor have rented. I'm excited about this and really hope we will be able to reach out and help people who needed it. I joined because J often prays about people who don't have enough to eat/drink and she asks God to help those people. So I thought this would give her first hand experience to do her part to help give food to those people.

I always felt that my area of ministry is to the orphans and I would like to work in a Christian orphanage and minister to those children. So perhaps, God willing, I will be able to "adopt" a little girl or boy that I can help and get to know the child better on a more personal basis.

Anyway, the first thing is to get the place spruced up, build shelves, etc. Then we will hunt for food to fill our space with food and go from there. But this is the start of something good. I'm thankful our pastor came up with this great idea and that we have a place to store the food.
