Looking for opportunities to serve God and people?
River of Life is re-learning how to be the Church, how to be the people who take Jesus' last words seriously in every moment of our life. We call this understanding of life "missional." It just means that we are all trying to see ourselves as missionaries no matter when or where we are. Jesus was (of course) correct when he told His disciples that the fields were "ready for the harvest."
He encouraged them to ask God to bring people who were willing to work those fields, willing to spend their lives touching the hurting, lonely, those in need. Remember, Jesus spoke those words right after He saw how many people around Him were "harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." Our world is no different today.
If you have the desire and willingness to learn with us what it means to live a missional lifestyle, we'd love to talk with you. In Sanford, as in any community, the fields are quite ready and the variety of needs is endless.
