Our mission: to serve
As Christians, we are all on a mission, because in the Kingdom of God there is a reciprocity between giving and receiving. Where would we be without the commitment of the volunteers and pastors who have served us from the beginning of our community to the present day ?
If we are happy to benefit from the gifts of others, Christian generosity also urges us to make ourselves available to our neighbours, in the image of our Lord Jesus Christ who came to seek and save those who were lost. What can we do in practical terms to ensure that the Gospel makes its way into the lives of our contemporaries ?
1. By getting involved, each and every one of us, in spreading the Gospel : by inviting our friends and colleagues to come with us to a musical evening, a service or an open-door type activity. This very practical way of giving involves us all.
2. By showing a welcoming spirit : supporting, encouraging and helping in particular those who, sometimes far from their region or country, spend a period in Toulouse for study or professional reasons. In some cases, material assistance can be provided by our association for cultural and social action, AACS.
3. By broadening our missionary vision : encouraging young and not-so-young people to take time out of their lives to take part in charitable projects in France and elsewhere.
4. By supporting missionary works : for many years, our community has committed itself at the General Assembly to financially support a certain number of missionary organisations. Here is the list :
- G.B.U. (Groupes Bibliques Universitaires): https://www.gbu.fr/
