ABOUT THE COMPASSION MINISTRY
Compassion ministries encompasses all the areas within Valley Vineyard where Gods people can serve their neighbour in the social responsibilities we have been encouraged too and commanded too do out of obedience to out Lord as we follow Him in our time here while on the earth.
We have an understanding based on (John 5 v17), that our God is always at work, and hence we strive to assist or support ministries and programs that are already running.
We look for the fruit (Mth 12v33) in people’s ministries and programs that bring glory to our God and choose to support those works before pioneering new works out of Valley Vineyard.
We see people as been created in the image of God (Gen1v26-27) and endeavour to respect such a remarkable creation as it deserves. (Psl 139v 14-18)(Mth 22 v39) We strive through the Compassion Ministry programs to motivate one another to serve our community (Heb 10v24) We endeavour to restore dignity by supplying practical needs like food, clothes, toiletries, housing etc(Mth 25v32-46). We aim to heal the broken hearted by supporting ministries like work done in prisons and with orphans and widows etc (James 1v27), we aim to heal the sick with prayer (James 5 v14-15) and medicine (1 Tim 5v23) and we aim to help support education initiatives so people can be self reliant with there God given abilities to sustain themselves and bless others. (Eph4v28) (Eph 6v 7-8). From time to time we just like to bless those around us who are in need. (Rom 12v8)
