"...and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
-Acts 1:8 (NIV)
-Acts 1:8 (NIV)
Jesus shared a special plan with His disciples. He was open, honest and talked straight up with His people. He intended for them to carry on with a mission that was to continue beyond His own earthly ministry. Jesus' intention was for these individuals to serve as "witnesses" who could testify about Him and His mighty works. The modern-day church has the same calling, to serve as witnesses "to the ends of the earth." As such witnesses, we are called to demonstrate and disseminate the Word. It is our livelihood that shares with others and speaks volumes to people.
By launching Operation Reach Out, I sought to challenge fellow Christians to live out their faith by reaching out in faith. Operation Reach Out is a Christian crusade for community change, a change of heart for changing lives. Love Your Neighbor serves as the initial "crusade" for this challenge, a week-long venture leading into Easter for 2009. As the body of Christ, the church is the collective assembly of witnesses of Christ and His miraculous power. Through Life Path Ministries & Services, this effort extends the love of Christ beyond our mere circle of friends.
We don't have to go far to discover what we need to do for our fellow man. Can we pray for someone else, interceding on their behalf? Is it too much for us to share what we have with those who are needy? Will we be available to help those who cannot help themselves? Search volunteer opportunities on the internet. Find how you can help local ministries, youth mentoring programs, or even missionaries. Give back to the Lord by reaching out to the Lord's people.
