Cross-Cultural Ministry in Your Local Community
by Mark KramerEvery community, no matter how large or small, has cultural or ethnic diversity. To get your group thinking outwardly, consider these possible avenues for growing and serving as a group:
- help one day at a local food bank
- help serve food at a local soup kitchen
- take on the leadership of worship at an urban mission
- offer to tutor children through schools or ministry programs
- become a Big Brother or Big Sister
- call the county housing department and offer free services such as painting or yard cleanup to a low income family
- volunteer a day of work at a local mission
- collect cans of food during the school term and donate them to a food shelf
- develop friendships with the elderly in a local nursing home
- develop friendships and encourage local AIDS patients
- offer assistance to a relocating immigrant or refugee family
- join forces with Habitat for Humanity in your area and help build a home
- offer assistance through a local literacy program
