Be The Light

Somber clouds hang low. A cold wind whips through the grey concrete pillars supporting the freeway overpass. Members of the Street Campus Ministry set up tables and pull out a sign which reads, “Ask us to pray with you.”

Soon, word gets out among those who are homeless and a line forms. People grab hot and gooey burritos, steaming cups of hot chocolate, and hand warmers to combat the cold.

“For most people it’s a lifeline because most people haven’t eaten in a couple of days,” said one man. “It’s good to know you can come out here every Saturday and get something to eat.”

“What it means to me is not only the care for us homeless people, but the love more so,” said another woman. “Caring what we have for breakfast…and not only that, but you guys have worship and everybody here is so supporting and loving.”

And that is exactly what the Outreach Ministries at Life Church are all about.

As Christians, we are called to be the light and “go into all the world and preach the gospel.” That doesn’t just mean being the light inside the four walls of Life Church.

Each week, we have ministries that go to the streets, nursing homes, jails, and much more to impact our local community and offer people an encounter with a powerful and loving God.

And you can make an impact too.

Come check out the Outreach Ministry Expo this weekend after each service in the lobby. You can talk with group leaders, learn about different serving opportunities, and sign up for ministries.

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.” -Luke 4:18
