What on earth is social action??
Ever wondered what is the role you can play in God's kingdom as a member of society?
Whenever you see injustices done in the world through the news, what is it that makes
your heart go out to the people who have been affected? Many of us have such questions
in our minds and hope to find out more about how we can find God's call for us in our
lives and what we can do to align our compassion for different areas in society.
Social Action is the demonstration of the gospel in our lives. Hence, as we look to this
outward expression of the gospel, we also look to Jesus' ministry on this earth. Firstly,
Jesus came to our earth to preach the gospel. Secondly, Jesus came to restore
relationships between God and man. We are able to see these two aspects of the
demonstration of the gospel in the global church that we live in today. However, we often
neglect another aspect of this demonstration, that is, the work of God's deliverance. This
aspect resides in the healing, meeting of spiritual and felt needs, prayer and standing up
for injustices in society to liberate the oppressed from the shackles of poverty.
Therefore, the social action committee would like to cordially (yes, there maybe cordial =)
invite you to join us in finding out more about our role in the delivering work of God's
kingdom. Come for our welcome tea cum seminar! Find out more about what social action
is, what social action in VCF will be like this year, and how you can play a part in reaching
out to the community around you!
