Vision for Ministry of Helps

 


God is always anointed and
lifted up through the work of
the Ministry of Helps.

       1Those of us who are strong and able in the faith need to step in and lend a hand to those who falter, and not just do what is most convenient for us. Strength is for service, not status. 2Each one of us needs to look after the good of the people around us, asking ourselves, "How can I help?"
 
 
      3That's exactly what Jesus did. He didn't make it easy for himself by avoiding people's troubles, but waded right in and helped out. "I took on the troubles of the troubled," is the way Scripture puts it. 4Even if it was written in Scripture long ago, you can be sure it's written for us. God wants the combination of his steady, constant calling and warm, personal counsel in Scripture to come to characterize us, keeping us alert for whatever he will do next. 5May our dependably steady and warmly personal God develop maturity in you so that you get along with each other as well as Jesus gets along with us all. 6Then we'll be a choir--not our voices only, but our very lives singing in harmony in a stunning anthem to the God and Father of our Master Jesus!
 
      7So reach out and welcome one another to God's glory. Jesus did it; now you do it!

Romans 15:1-7

Message Version

 

Definition:  The Ministry of Helps at Word of Faith Christian Center is consolidation of various groups of born-again, Spirit-filled individuals, forming a nucleus surrounding the Pastor and his assistant to aid them in meeting the operational demands of the Ministry and the spiritual needs of the people who participate in the worship study, and social activities of Word of Faith Christian Center.

Purpose and Function: To assist the Pastor in carrying out his God-given vision in spreading the Gospel.  To work, share, and participate with the Pastor as one body.  To support the Pastor's vision by setting a good example to those within and outside of Word of Faith Christian Center through a consistent display of spiritual strength, moral, fortitude, and personal integrity.
 

Scriptural Basis:  "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondary prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, HELPS, governments, diversities of tongues." (1 Cor. 12:28)
