SIMPLE AND CREATIVE WAYS TO REACH
OUT TO PEOPLE IN NEED.
If you are like many Christians, you are so busy with day-to-day living that you may be
unaware of the needs around you. In fact, you might be puzzled about how to help those who
lack.
Yet it is not nearly as hard as you might think. Just take a glance at your own community.
Mother Teresa once said, "It isn't necessary to move to Calcutta to do something significant."
There are people in need all around you, if you only stop to look. Is there a single parent where
you work? A disabled child in your neighbourhood? Perhaps a family in your church who cannot
afford medical insurance? These needs cry out to be met, and God's Word says that to meet them
is "pure and faultless" religion. In 101 Ways to Help People in Need, Steve and Janie
Sjogren present practical and creative ways for you and your church to reach out to people with
physical, emotional, and relational needs - in your neighbourhood, your community, your country,
and your world.
