We journey through most of our lives trying to figure out how we can make ourselves look better, feel better or be better. Few people in life can say they eat, sleep and breathe to help others. However, the truth is none of the things that we do for ourselves matter. It’s what we do for others and ultimately what we do for Christ that’s important. I’m sure you’ve heard the old hymn titled, “Only What You Do for Christ Will Last” and in that song there’s a verse that says, “Soon the glories of this life will all be past, but only what you do for Christ will last.” Challenge yourself to do things that will last and it will be no surprise that it will involve serving other people.
Local Impact
Local ministries are very important to the growth and the stability of communities. After a storm hits a community or tragedy strikes, it is the local churches, ministries and organizations that help families rebuild their lives. Local ministries provide light and a beacon of hope to local citizens. Volunteers are always needed to carry the torch. If you’re looking for ways to make a local impact, get involved with ministries like Angel Food, American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, prison ministries, hospital ministries, nursing home ministries and college ministries. Connect with your place of worship or perform an on-line search for ministries in your community and get involved.
Global Impact
Going on a mission trip can be the ultimate step in impacting nations. Taking a mission trip to places like Uganda, Brazil, New Guinea, Israel, China and beyond can be a life changing event for you and the lives of the people that you touch. When the natives see missionaries, it is a testament to them that Jesus cares enough about them to send people from miles away to love, care for and spend time with them.
