Creating a Culture of Care
As Christians, we are taught from an
early age that we are to be a reflection of
God’s love, a light to the world. But how
often do we live that out? Not because we lack
the desire, but more often, because we lack
confidence that God could use us. What are we
actually supposed to DO to make that happen?
As we are facing uncertain times as a
nation, we are looking for hope and assurance.
God is the primary source of both. Do you want
to share the hope that you have through your
faith as worries or fear settles into the
hearts of those in your life? Perhaps God will
use economic challenges to bring an eternal
inheritance to someone in your sphere of
influence. Or, perhaps God is calling you to
partner with your pastor and church staff to
offer care and encouragement within your own
church family. This intentional care
strengthens the church family and reflects the
biblical design of God’s church.

The
“Creating a Culture of Care” workshop was developed to
guide people with hearts of care and compassion to take
ordinary relationships in life and allow God to use them
for his purposes. During the workshop, we talk about
mutual care in the body of Christ and how to listen to God
when prompted to reach out to someone. We describe
Christian Care in contrast with regular friendships and
How to Pray with People. This time of practical teaching
will show you ways to make a difference in the life of
someone else on behalf of the Lord. As a body of Christ,
we need to be caring for one another intentionally so our
family of God reflects the image of Jesus Christ.
