Vision for
Outreach
Jesus calls us to reach out to others for two reasons.
First, we are called to reach out because those around us are hurting
and in pain and in need of the hope that Jesus has to offer. (Great
Commission, Matthew 28: 19-20) The second reason is part of what God
desires for us to do, no matter what the resu
lts might be. James 1:27
says, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is
this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress. Reaching out
to those in need is a part of us working out our faith.
