Servant hood

Our next project as a ministry is building a well in Africa....yup...you heard it right. A bunch of young Indian people are helping provide fresh drinking water to a continent where we aren't from. Why in the world would we do that? Why not India? Why not Chicago? Why not another cause that might be related to us in some way?

Well the answer is simple....why not? The love of Jesus is irrespective of country, origin, and background. So as Christians, we must adopt the same attitude. We shouldn't look to help others if it has some kind of self interest at heart. The ultimate reason behind servant hood is to put others ahead of ourselves. Every person you run into should be an opportunity to uplift them.

With that mindset, we present "Jesus-ade: Quench your thirst". We want to have the same attitude Jesus had when he talked to the Samaritan woman at the well and offered her water that would never make her thirsty again. Even though she was from a town that Jesus wasn't from, that didn't stop Him from giving her a gift she would never forget.

Our goal as a ministry is to "develop youth into a community for Christ." There is no better way to do that than by serving the community we are a part of. So lend a helping hand, have fun by participating, and let's come together to have an attitude like Christ. God bless and we'll see you at the tournament.
