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).


What You Can Do:

  • Pray -- Ask God to employ you and strengthen you to His work. (Luke 10:1-2; Nehemiah 6:9)
  • Walk the Talk -- If you say you're a follower of Christ, live it! (James 2:14-26; Ephesians 4; Romans 12:2)
  • Love God -- This will help you love yourself and others. (Luke 10:27, Deuteronomy 6:5, Leviticus 19:18)
  • Fear Not-- Don't be ashamed of your faith. (2 Timothy 1:7-10; Matthew 5:14-16)
  • "Preach" -- Share the last day message. (Revelation 14:6-12; Matthew 28:18-20)
  • Encourage -- Help your friends and family to stay close to God. (Job 16:1-5)
  • Be Kind -- Don't let petty things ruin relationships. (Romans 12:10,13,17-21)
  • Be United -- Have Bible study and plan projects with friends. (Acts 2:1, 42-47; 1 Timothy 4:12; Matthew 18:19-20)

The Great Controversy: Whose Side Are You On?

Note: The following article is appropriate for all ages, and should be read with family and friends. Before our earth was created, a war began and is still going on in our world today. This war is called   the Great Controversy . The word  controversy  (pronounced " khan -tro-verse-ee") is taken from the Latin word  controversus  (pronounced "khan-tro- were -sus")   meaning disputable or, more literally, turned against . Between whom is this controversy? It is between Jesus Christ and His enemy, the Devil. So who is turned against whom? The Devil is turned against Jesus and is opposing Him. And what exactly is being disputed? The Devil thinks that Jesus is not as powerful as He claims to be. "And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God , command this stone that it be made bread" (Luke 4:3 KJV). " And the LORD said unto Satan, 'Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none...

Absorb God's Word

Recently, I read this quote from "Spurgeon: Sermons on Proverbs" by Charles H. Spurgeon - "He has asked the Spirit of God to make him acquainted with divine truth, so that he has not only read of it but he has communed with it, and now he lives upon it, eats it, drinks it, receives it into the inward parts of his soul, and retains it there as a living and incorruptible seed. Now a man who does this year after year is the kind of man who, by God's grace, will take fast-hold of instruction, and will prove a faithful witness for his Lord."
