Outreaches

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. …I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” 

3 John 2 – 4 NIV
Elderly

Although many of us see a primary mission field as the “youth” of today, imagine how many of the “elderly” are faced with imminent decisions in the next few months, or even days, determining where they will spend their eternity! It is not a coincidence that at Christ’s crucifixion, the thief on the cross made a last-minute conversion to Christ, which is given to us as an example—the message being, “it’s never too late”! 

Sitting down with the elderly has opened many a heart to the urgency
 of sharing God’s truth, and most importantly, His compassion.

Adults with Disabilities

Reaching out to adults with disabilities is a joy. There is nothing more rewarding than pouring into others. What is most rewarding is knowing we’ve helped someone grow closer to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. That is what serving the Lord is all about. What makes working with these amazing adults a joy, is their desire to know Jesus and to worship Him. The blessings are multiplied as we watch the Lord work through these wonderful adults, hearing their questions and answers during the Bible Study. Seeing their desire to want to serve. They are hungry for the truth of the Word of God. We are also growing closer to God through our serving, which is inevitable.

Foster Care

We love all children and want to see them well and prospering in the Lord. The mission of Hands and Feet Outreach to the foster care community is two fold. First, we see the need to serve foster parents who help children who may be hurting and alone. As a foster care resource, we desire to see open hearts and homes as safe havens to care for children and youth needing support in periods of family turbulence or transition. Second, we love on youths living in group homes as well as provide support and encouragement to the house parents through monthly outreaches.

Evangelism

The word of God says, “For whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved” We know that God is gracious and ready to forgive all sinners who repent of their sins and place their faith in Jesus. That is how each of us were saved. But before we were saved, we were first given the message of the Gospel to believe in. Sadly, there are many people who have not heard the true gospel of Christ, and they desperately need it in order to be saved. Evangelism is simply being the messenger of the gospel, so that people may the know the way to salvation. The apostle Paul writes, “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!’” (Romans 10:14-15) Simply put, we are the sent ones. We have been commissioned by Jesus to, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” (Mark 16:15) This is something that we do with our lives. Even though we meet up to share the gospel, every Christian, individually, is a living evangelists. We are messengers sent to testify of Christ..
