Scripture

Titus 3

13 Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos with their trip. See that they are given everything they need. 14 Our people must learn to do good by meeting the urgent needs of others; then they will not be unproductive.

Observation

“Our people must learn to do good by meeting the urgent needs of others” So that is how a church learns to become a caring church …by meeting needs!

Our church since October has been busy meeting the needs of others: over 44 bags filled for the Seafarer’s Ministry in the Port of Tampa; 259 Christmas shoe boxes filled for children around the world to support the ministry of Operation Christmas Child; over 1,200 pounds of can goods and other food items given to Mission Tampa to meet the needs of people here in our neighborhood; over $33, 000 given so far to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for our missionary work around the world!

We learn by doing! Our church is learning! I am very proud of each member that has participated in these outreach events!

Application

I will continue to lead our church to meet the urgent needs of the world around us. We are looking ahead to 2009 and we plan to do more hands on projects in our neighborhood to meet the urgent needs of the poor and the less fortunate that surround us.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, put on our hearts the things that You want us to do that will show the world that we belong to you.
