the purpose for our efforts in ministry, as Christians, is to help equip believers, [saints] and to build up the body of Christ, "...until we all attain to the unity of faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God." Jesus told Matthew, the tax collector to "follow" Him. He calls us to follow as well. We are all in a continuous process of learning what it means, or how best, to follow the Lord as His disciples.
In providing spiritual care to people with developmental disabilities, it is crucial to be an example of those who believe, and to encourage them in expressing their Christian faith. In other words, we need to participate with these friends in praise and worship, in prayer, in Bible study, and in exploring the spiritual gifts and talents that God has given to each of us.
Praise and Worship - Our ministry encourages our disabled participants through both traditional; and contemporary Christian music...
Prayer - Our ministry takes time, on a regular basis, to pray specifically, for the needs and concerns of our participants...
Bible Study - We plant God's word like a seed, and trust that the Lord will bring forth fruit according to His will... (Isaiah 55:10-11)
Service - Our participants need not always be on the receiving end of a blessing. They bring gifts and talents to share with the rest of the "body." We encourage them to use their gifts in service to the Lord...
