At Verge you can count on one thing, they will love you no matter what you look like or where you come from!
Lifeline Missions Event
Picking up trash on Massillon Rd
Carolina is having a good time cleaning up the community
Look at all that trash!
Jon was a "zulu man" and the people had to share Jesus with him.
Gabe and David show off their interesting finds
Sitting outside in lines is a common thing you would see in South Africa. Sometimes people will wait for hours to see a doctor in the hot sun. We took a moment to bless the food and to invite Jesus into the experience.
Everyone had to carry their own chairs in, Maria's okay with it though :)
Amara points out that the food is eaten...everyone ate traditional South African curry, samosa, rice and homemade peanut butter stew from Ghana.
As apart of our evangelism experience, we made salvation bracelets: Black - sin, red- blood of Jesus, White- cleansed from our sin, Blue - filled with the Holy Spirit, Green - grow in our love & knowledge of God, Yellow- We have the promise of heaven
We also did a special project where we wrote encouraging notes to each other. After all, missions is about loving people, that includes each other!
We had an amazing overnighter to bring to an end our fundraising for Lifeline. The $2000 that we raised will help the children of South Africa! It was a life-changing night for many. God really moved during our worship and prayer time for the nations of the world. The following morning we picked up trash along Massillon Rd. We found all kinds of interesting "treasures".
Freedom!
Freedom!
John 10:10
The thief's purpose is to steal, kill, and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
John 8:32
And you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. John 8:36If the Son sets you free you are truly free!
2 Corinthians 3:17-18
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
*Invite the Spirit of the Lord into your heart everyday you so you can be free!
Daniel 10:12
"Then he said, "Don't be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. I have come in answer to your prayer."
John 14:27
"I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid.
Hebrews 13:5-6So we can say with confidence,"The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?
Hebrews 10:35-36
So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.
John 8:31-32
Jesus said to the people who believed in him, "You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
1 John 4:18
Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.Hebrew 11:6And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
Isaiah 41:10
Don't be afraid, for I am with you.Don't be discouraged, for I am your God.I will strengthen you and help you.I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
Isaiah 43:1-2
But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you.O Israel, the one who formed you says,"Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you.I have called you by name; you are mine.When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drownWhen you walk through the fire of oppression,you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.
Isaiah 49:16
See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands.Always in my mind is a picture of Jerusalem's walls in ruins.
2 Timothy 1:6-7
This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
We had an awesome service last night, and to keep that freedom going we need to learn to stand upon God's word everyday. Its not through our own strength that we are set free but through God's strength and power! Keep seeking out His power and strength!! Print this out and memorize these or hang them up in your room, but fill yourself up with the word and apply it to your life!
