Give A Helping Hand (GAHH) Project

Missions. Travelling abroad. Trekking uncharted territory. Saving a life.

Sounds cool, right? Well you can do it too.

Missions. Travelling beyond your comfort zone. Trekking through hearts hardened against God's love. Saving a soul for Christ.

"Well," you may be thinking, "that's not real missionary work."

Sorry, you wasted a thought.



Look at the last words Jesus says to His disciples before ascending to His Father: "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth" (Acts 1:8).

Notice that to be witnesses for Christ, we must be filled with His spirit (the Holy Ghost) and we must start where we are. The disciples were native to Jerusalem and Judea. That was their home base, their headquarters. They needed to begin with their own family, friends, neighbors, and associates before branching out to the "uttermost part of the earth". We must do the same.

God has sent us, His disciples, to be His messengers-- messengers of LOVE, messengers of HOPE, messengers of PEACE. In Philippians 4:7, Paul says, "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." When we share the peace of God with others, they become focused on God and His mission; and, before you know it, God's peace is resting in the hearts and minds of nearly everyone we meet.

As the songs says, "Let there be peace on earth / And let it begin with me." It starts with YOU. The Lord of the harvest needs laborers, but He's waiting for you to ask for them. i>"He [Jesus] told them [the disciples], "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field"
(Luke 10:2). When we pray for laborers in the Lord's harvest and He asks, "Whom shall I send?", we need to be ready to say, "Here I am. Send me!" (Isaiah 6:8).

Looking for Me

In family worship, we have reading from the book of Ezekiel. There are a lot of deep and awesome truths found in that book, some of which unlock other controversies that we have yet to understand. Throughout the coming weeks, I will write about the book of Ezekiel based on various points my family members bring out each night. I pray that you will blessed.   I was lost, but now am found. But who found me? Who was looking for me? "For thus saith the Lord God; 'Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.' " (Ezekiel 34:11) And why does He want to find me ? "As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out My sheep , and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day." (Ezekiel 34:12) And as my favorite Scripture says, "I have called you by your name; you are Mine " (Isaiah 43:1). The Cloudy and Dark Day It i

Remember the Titans: Remember the Leaders

     In life, there is a need for leaders—persons who will take up responsibility and be the trendsetters that others can follow. As Reed Markham, PhD, stated, “ Successful leaders see the opportunity in every difficulty rather than the difficulty in every opportunity”. “Remember the Titans” is an inspiring movie that teaches the truth about leadership and positive influence.      Among the many examples of leadership portrayed in this movie is Gerry Bertier, captain of the TC Williams football team. Gerry showed qualities of leadership by taking charge and following through with his responsibility. One of the ways he did this was by dropping Ray, his best friend, from the team due to the fact that Ray was not playing defensively on behalf of his Negro teammates, which resulted in the injury of one of them. Even though this decision threatened his friendship with Ray, Gerry still fulfilled his responsibility. Another quality of leadership Gerry shows is open-mindedness; he connected to
