MIND THE NEW AND LIVING WAY

The Old Ways Lead to Death Main Readings: Heb. 10:19-25, Rom. 12:1-2, 2 Cor. 5:17 In Christ all things become new for a Believer. This new life must be well understood and lived by faith or be lost! It must guard and guide thoughts through action to the complete overhaul of character. The Believer must therefore take all care to mind the newness, primarily through studying and meditating on God’s Word.

Here are portions of Scripture to guide our meditations on who have been made and are expected to be. SIGNS Our new birth   shows   basically   when we: 1.         Love our enemies a.       But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you,   so

MINISTRY AMONG STUDENTS

MINISTRY AMONG STUDENTS IN PENSA KUMASI – VISION   2018 AND BEYOND Work among students is the ultimate generation gap bridging ministry. School is a controlled as well as rapid development environment: the student is taken out of the traditional church cultural environment that may otherwise transform at a relatively slower pace. They therefore have relatively greater freedom to adapt to best practices and current trends before returning home to impact the church more efficiently. The campus ministry must therefore be both swift and accurate.
