SOCIAL MINISTRIES
Social Ministries is the Gospel in action. It is proclaiming Christ not only in words, but words backed with action. It is another way of expressing the mission of Christ to mankind. Social ministries is also about caring and bearing with one another, it is sacrificing one’s comfort for the sake of others. While our Lord was here in the flesh, he was very much at His Father’s work. His desire was to be at work always; even when He was seriously hungry and tired, He will not let any opportunity to work slip by (John 4.)
