We reach out to the poor and needy of our
community with the love and compassion of Christ, giving refuge, hope and
healing for a transformed life, empowering them through the Gospel of Jesus
Christ to find a new direction for their lives.
In reaching out, we touch and embrace the poor and needy with open arms.
-
By poor and needy, we mean those with
limited and/or "no financial resources" and those with no place of
residence but most of all those in need of Christ.
- By our city and community, we mean all those
areas from which the poor and needy come to us seeking help.
- By love, we mean that unconditional quality
of feeling which causes one to embrace the person regardless of the
unloveliness of the object --- seeing the need.
- By compassion, we mean that deep inner
feeling of sympathy invoked by the suffering seen in the physical,
spiritual and emotional lives of the poor and needy.
- By refuge, we mean a place of safety, rest,
comfort and renewal. By healing, we mean that result accomplished in the
total person through a deep personal relationship with the Lord Jesus
Christ.
- By transformed life, we mean that process of
renewal which comes from a change in thinking and attitude which results
in the submission to the will of God.
- By empowering, we mean that realization of
the sufficiency of Christ in every area and dimension of life.
The
mission of The Bible Tabernacle is to glorify Christ by preaching The Gospel
to the poor and helping those in need.
