GO reach your neighbors for Christ...
By Melissa Kandel
We would like to invite you to attend an informational meeting for GO ministries on Thursday, January 19th at 7p in the Community Room at East 91st Street Christian Church (www.east91st.org)
God began stirring in my heart last fall that the body of Christ was not making a significant impact on our world. There was a pull on my heart saying “We have to do something more. I have to do something more, but what and how?” He put on my heart a vision for a ministry of prayer/fasting, service, and brokenness for the lost. Last year when I heard Dr. Bruce Wilkinson speak of True Fasting from this passage in Isaiah the call became clear.
"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?
Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe him,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?” Isaiah 58:6-7
Our Mission
To bridge the gap between our neighborhoods and the Church body by creating and implementing a systematic approach to relational and service evangelism.
Why
People are lost. They don’t know they’re lost. There is a breakdown in the moral structures of family and community in our neighborhoods across America. There is a disconnect between the community and the church bodies that surround them. Jesus has called us to go to seek and save the lost. Imagine what your neighborhood would be like if everyone in it was loving and serving Christ. It all starts with you!
We hope that you will prayerfully consider attending this meeting to discover more of what God has in store for us as the Body of Christ coming together from several local congregations* to reach out to the lost and hurting in our neighborhoods.
Yours in Christ,
Melissa Kandel
