COMPASSION MINISTRY

Compassion Ministry

Compassion…does it make a difference?

It’s understandable to see the mountain of need in our world and feel unable to make a dent. We get it! At the same time, showing compassion (or meeting felt needs with good deeds) is the calling of every Christian and so we must be involved with those around us who need our support.

WORLD RELIEF

In his book, Involvement: Being a Responsible Christian in a Non-Christian Society, author John Stott, writes:

It is exceedingly strange that any followers of Jesus Christ should ever have needed to ask whether social involvement was their concern, and that controversy should have blown up over the relationship between evangelism and social responsibility. For it is evident that in his public ministry Jesus both ‘went about teaching and preaching’ (Matthew 4:23; 9:35) and ‘went about doing good and healing’ (Acts 10:38). In consequence, evangelism and social concern have been intimately related to one another throughout the history of the Church. Christian people have often engaged in both activities quite unselfconsciously, without feeling any need to define what they were doing or why.
