Biblical Foundation

The Bible is clear about the church's responsibility to serve others. Jesus himself said, "I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me" (Matthew 25:35). The early church was known for its compassion and generosity, and its members were quick to help those in need.

The book provides a solid biblical foundation for service, exploring the following themes:

The love of God
The compassion of Jesus
The power of the Holy Spirit
The importance of unity
The need for perseverance

Practical Strategies

In addition to providing a biblical foundation, the book also offers practical strategies for mobilizing the church to serve the world. These strategies include:

Developing a vision for service
Creating a culture of service
Recruiting and training volunteers
Partnering with other organizations
Evaluating and improving service programs

Real-Life Examples

The book also includes real-life examples of churches that are making a difference in their communities and around the world. These examples provide inspiration and encouragement, and they show how the principles outlined in the book can be put into practice.

The churches profiled in the book are involved in a wide range of service activities, including:

Providing food and shelter to the homeless
Mentoring and tutoring children
Serving meals to the hungry
Providing medical care to the sick
Supporting refugees and immigrants

The church is called to be a light to the world, and serving others is an essential part of that calling. This book provides a comprehensive guide to mobilizing the church to serve the world, offering a biblical foundation, practical strategies, and real-life examples of churches making a difference. If you are looking for ways to get your church involved in serving your community and the world, this book is for you.
