Missionary Outreach - Anchorage, Alaska, and all the
world
Just before Jesus ascended to Heaven,
he said to his disciples "But you will receive power
when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my
witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth."
(Book
of Acts
1:8)
The Church has long seen this as a model for reaching
the world with the Gospel. We are to reach our city, our
region, and the entire earth. To do this, we are
funding, and soliciting funds, for
various missions
organizations and people.
The name of our church body -- Anchorage City Church --
says clearly that an important part of our task is to
take the Gospel to our city. We are also tasked with taking the Gospel to
Alaska and to
the rest of the
world.
In Anchorage
We apply the
Great Commission (Matthew's
Gospel, chapter 28 verses 19-20) in our community in
several ways, and more are being developed now.
We are working with homeless people in Anchorage through
the
Brother Francis Shelter and and the
Downtown Soup Kitchen. Homelessness is
increasing in Anchorage, and we want to be part of the
solution of providing shelter.
Jesus said about His sheep and said "I was in prison and
you came to visit me" (Matt
25:36) Real transformation of those who have broken
the laws of society is possible through a commitment to
Jesus. We are regularly meeting for Bible studies
at
Cordova Center (a "half-way house" in downtown
Anchorage).
We are also now working towards assisting in the
development of Love,
Inc. in the Anchorage area, as well as beginning a
ministry designed to help single moms.
