VILLAGE MINISTRY
True light Ministries
"To lead villagers to know the Lord, to firstly love God above all things and love their neighbour as themselves. and secondly to provide ways for Liberians to reduce their own poverty, mainly through Vocational School Training. " Around 73% of people in India live in villages and as a result many of these places contain millions of people that are unreached with the Gospel and are often forgotten about. Many are living below the poverty line without proper food, accommodation, clothes and do not have access to education and medical facilities. In addition there are many thousands of orphans and semi orphans or abandoned street children.“ This service you perform is not only supplying the needs of God’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you.” …….. 2 Cor 9:12–14
CHILDREN'S MINISTRY
True light Ministries
One of the key ways that True Light Ministry is looking to get involved with ministering to the children of India is through adopting elementary schools in and around. As with any young children, education plays a vital role in their future prospects, yet for many Indian children, the lack of resources significantly undermines their educational experience.
14 Ways Children’s Ministry Benefits The Children:
It promotes their eternal happiness. I want my kids to find indestructible joy in Christ. Children’s Ministry Tip: Constantly work to introduce them to Jesus. Make the good news plain in everything you do. We have a mural in our children’s worship room that summarizes the story of Jesus.
It helps them make sense out of life. Only understanding who made the world, what went wrong and God’s plan to fix it can explain this world we all experience. Children’s Ministry Tip: Teach a Gospel-centered worldview with specific applications that will help them interpret life. It’s their best chance to accept Christ. Research has proven that kids tend to be more receptive to the Gospel than any other age group. I want my children to have every opportunity to believe in Jesus.
Children’s Ministry Tip: Present the good news in age-appropriate ways all throughout childhood. I have different booklets that I give to different age groups to better target their comprehension level.
It helps avoid some negative outcomes of sin. Only God’s grace can change our hearts, but knowing the consequences of disobeying God is often a wake up call. When children understand the great price that Jesus paid for their salvation, they are more likely to stay on the way of the righteous. Children’s Ministry Tip: Be careful to teach both God’s law and God’s love, one doesn’t make sense without the other.
It can help counter balance worldly influences. Everyone knows the harmful influences present in our society. Kids need positive influences to tip the scale. Children’s Ministry Tip: Help them see where God’s values conflict with worldly values. For example, God say love other people and the world says “look out for yourself.”
It can help them learn to love others. The 2nd greatest commandment is to love your neighbor. We must teach this as a way of life, because it doesn’t comes naturally. – Children’s Ministry Tip: Provide real life experiences for them to love other people. Some examples are mission trips, prayer partners, and ministry projects.
YOUTH MINISTRY
True light Ministries
In the earlier period Disciples youth ministry was built on the FELLOWSHIP model and focused on training and developing youth for future leadership in the church. Camps, conferences, commissions, and youth fellowship meetings, rallies, and retreats were both training for and experiences in church leadership. In addition the fellowship model provided the church’s youth an identifiable peer group that gave them:A sense of belonging and support in the common developmental tasks of adolescence; A base for growth in faith, witness, self-identity, and socialization; Identity with the church and with other youth and constituencies within the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) through local, district, regional and international structures and events;Well defined and influential adult leadership and adult role models; Opportunities for peer leadership and challenge to lifelong leadership within the church; A full range of supportive staff, resources, services, and networks for youth and adults in youth ministry at all levels of the church.The more recent period, born out of the turbulence of the Sixties and changing teen and young adult agendas and a perceived incapacity of the fellowship model to meet the needs and challenges of the times, was built on the political or EMPOWERMENT model. This model focused primarily on involving youth in the total life of the church as young adults and engaging them fully in the issues and movements of the day in both ecclesiastical and secular arenas. With this radical reorientation of youth ministry, the churchwide structures, staff, resources, and traditions supporting the fellowship model were dismantled at the general manifestations and subsequently at the other manifestations of the church. During the empowerment years the shape and content of Disciples youth ministry were characterized and determined by the politicizing of adolescence, local initiative, experimentation, diversity, creativity, and social ferment.
