Greetings
everyone,
Thank you, in
advance, for taking the time to read this blog update. I want to share with you some
upcoming information in regards to this year’s Life Line Christmas Outreach.
We are supper excited!
This will be our seventh annual Christmas outreach to our local communities, and
what an awesome time to minister the true message of Christmas, which is the
celebration of God sending Jesus to earth to reach and save the lost. Amen
The goal of this
outreach, like all of our outreaches, is to share the love of Christ to people
who frankly don’t get much love. Many of the people we minister to are not Church
people. Many of them feel rejected and unwanted. And because of this, they are
held captive to many vices. But we know that Jesus came to set the captives
free! Our mission is to share a life changing real Jesus who brings deliverance
and brings freedom! Our aim is to be a blessing and share the love of Christ,
material and spiritually. The Bible says, “Whoever is kind to the needy honors
God.” Also, in the Bible, God exhorts us, to “do good, to be rich in good
deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.” We are stepping out to be the
hands and feet of Jesus.
Our plan this year
is to minister on a more personal basis. Prior to this years outreach, people
in our target area will receive a flyer explaining how Life Line Outreach
Ministries desires to bless them with a Christmas box. These Christmas Boxes will consist of most everything needed
for a holiday meal: 5 # canned Ham, canned vegetables, boxed potatoes, boxed dressing,
Christmas candy/cookies; we are also including a gifts for the children and
teens. Every box will also include a Bible. The individuals who desire to
receive a Christmas Box will call us, on a first call first serve basis, to be added to a list we will have for the
December 15th Outreach.
I have seen some outreaches where
people are handed a box and they walk off and never received any ministry. This
is what we want to avoid, is people just taking a box and not receiving any
ministry. Amen. So, the people who call us back will be added to the scheduled list.
And as we will deliver the Christmas Boxes right to their home, we will be bringing
Jesus with us. Amen! We will be talking to the families, we will sharing our
testimonies, ministering to them as the Spirit leads- we will be offering prayer, sharing the Gospel
teaching the true meaning of Christmas-right there in their home. We will be
building relationships, we will be getting to know them and they will be getting
to know us. From this relationship building is where we can effectively invite
them to Church and make follow ministry up a whole lot easier. It’s going to be
good! I am excited!
We will be targeting needy people. Many of the folk we will be
reaching out to are either unemployed or working day labor jobs. Many are
living day to day, even on the verge of being homeless.
We would you ask
you to please pray for this outreach and intercede for the Lord to draw the
sinners to repentance. The whole purpose of this outreach is to share the love
of Jesus and lead folk to Jesus, to see them get right with the Lord!
The estimated cost
for each box will be around $25.00
