Helps
James 2:14-15 What does it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what does it profit?
At TFAB we understand there may be times when you or people you know of in the body have various needs. It is our desire to not just be those that talk about our faith but to be those that demonstrate our faith by taking action and meeting those needs, therefore:
1. We have created a helps ministry on the campus at Morning Star Christian School where we meet on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. and Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. Our desire is that first and foremost the spiritual needs of each person that comes to the fellowship is met. We will ask those that have need to take in the word of God, that they might hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. Once the word has been shared they can meet with an Elder/Pastor who will then be able to assist them in getting food and clothes, meeting their physical needs as well.
2. We also have a online form that can be filled out to let the body know what the needs are at TFAB. These will be posted below in a running blog format so people in the church can read them, pray about them, and then meet the needs of others in the church.
It is our desire that through this blog the TFAB family will be more aware of the practical needs which arise in the church and also give opportunity to people to use their gifts that God has given them. (ROMANS 12) We desire to see that people with the gift of giving, give; that people with mercy, show mercy; and that people who can teach, help teach those that are struggling to learn of the Lord.
This is where TFAB comes in.
1. You can get involved by donating to the helps ministry. We want to keep this as simple as James says, therefore you may donate clothes (in great condition) and non-perishable food. The drop off for these items is at the base of the stairs to the left of the stage. You may also talk with or email Brett@tfab.com and see how you might be able to assist with this ministry.
2. You can check the needs area of the website below to see if there might be a way that you can assist this body through the gifts that God has given you. If you pray about them and know that the Lord is desiring you to minister to that need, post a comment to that need that you will be taking care of it so we do not have multiple people meeting the same need.
3. You can pray that God will supply all our needs!
