I recently posted this on my FB page. What do you think?
The secret sauce to ministry with our community is both the proclamation and the demonstration of the gospel.This is our weekly Bible study to those who've come to get food. We also have a prayer team that works its way car to car down the line each week.
Demonstration without proclamation is dead works. Proclamation without demonstration is dead faith.
A wise missionary once shared this principle one Sunday many years ago and it has been one of the most fundamental principles that has greatly shaped our ministry philosophy. So many people have come to know the Lord through the meeting of physical needs followed by a proclamation of Christ as the only one able to meet spiritual needs.
God is good!
