Our Missions And Ministries

STREET MINISTRY

Ever since the apostle Peter preached in the streets of Jerusalem in Acts 2, We Christians have used this method to lead many to faith in Christ.The way we communicate can be adapted to the audience with our message John 3:16 and in this ministry one way to communicate Christ to those who may otherwise not hear gospel, 0thers are people who exist outside the sphere of Christian life influence,this is very exhilarating because we never know who we are   going to talk to.We simply choose a location the more people the more better it is to start a conversation by introducing ourselves and ask them what they think about the Gospel ask questions like why they are in the   location ,what are they studying and what they think about church the more we ask the more they talk that opens our doors for us to witness about the Lord.explain the gospel ,the people are in need of a saviour who Jesus is.Later free Bibles are given and we pray for them with there consent.

 HOMELESS MINISTRY

Deuteronomy 15 :7 ,If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother throughout the   scripture we are reminded   to care for the needs of the poor .we are motivated by our genuine love of Christ try to address little issues.what do they need like clean clothing ,food and education special issues of women.the most contributors to homeless include poverty ,addiction or mental illness,physical abuse .we take a   collection   of personal   items like clothing,warm food one time in a month in a location showing our live of Jesus   in action The Lord touched many peoples lives during our ministry who accept the lord and are leading normal lives by going back into the families .

REFUGEE MINISTRY

And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 19:34

UNHCR over 20000 people risked lives in Indian ocean in first half of 2014 ,In Iraq 500,000 displaced people. in  Kurdistan region 700000 are displaced. as the violence in the world continues the steady stream of refugees gather to get clothes ,food . And we as a church go to  centres   give them hope for tomorrow by giving them gospel   sharing   warm meals and  above all  worshipping the Lord with them. All refugees wish that they go back  home but repatriation is very difficult those who do return after a long and bitter wait often find complete devastation.this happened to thousand of Kosovo refugees unfortunately many such countries lack resources to absorb refugees   into their economies.

COUNSELLING MINISTRY

Christian counselling   must   counsel   the soul with techniques generated   by the   spirit   of   God. Holy spirit led therapy seeks to lead the soul to abandon   all hope in personal strength and thus to total reliance upon Christ   strength our counselling seeks to lovingly cut the believers freshly water supply off and lead  him to tap into the rivers of living water ( Holy Spirit ) within. Biblical Counselling is simply a matter of discipleship we must sell out   give up trying to be in control and  walk in new paths and era of life which is   our Lord Jesus Christ .2 Timothy 3:16-17 we know that   scripture has the answer for the   fundamental   questions   of life   Paul in   2 Corinthians 1:3-7   assures us that   we can   offer others the comfort  that we ourselves abundantly   received   from God . Biblically counselling   differs dramatically from the secular counselling   because it has a world view that is completely different indeed it is   more than  a system that   is not only fixes   problems it  also brings us back into right   relationship with God.Here at Awakening Souls we have qualified Counsellors who  are qualified  to do so.
