WHAT IF CHURCHES UNITED TO DISRUPT POVERTY, ADDICTIONS IN INDY?
Metro Baptist Center and Restore Church Network have a combined 45 years experience ministering to those in poverty and addictions. We believe, if more churches will join us, the Holy Spirit will use us majorly to disrupt the evil one's use of those afflictions, free people from them, and many of them will be saved. The situation, vision, strategy and ways to join the disruption are below.
SITUATION
-
There's an underside of Indianapolis - poverty and addictions - that is largely ignored by Bible-believing churches who could provide Jesus-centered solutions that would disrupt the afflictions in a major way if churches would unite to proclaim the gospel to every impoverished and addicted person in our city.​​
VISION
-
Metro Baptist Center and Restore Church Network are recruiting churches to form an alliance for the disruption of poverty and addictions. Churches will pool resources and develop outreach ministries in areas of Indianapolis where poverty and addictions are the most prevalent. Alliance churches' congregations will also have access to developed resources and ministries.
STRATEGY
-
Develop access ministries, such as the Baptist Center's food and clothing pantries and Restore Church's residential facility for men desiring to exit addictions, to gather lost people.
-
Plant microchurches at the access ministries locations for gospel proclamation and relationships development for discipleship-to-conversion opportunities.
-
For transformation, address five areas of a person's life (spiritual, physical, emotional, academic and financial) by creating employment, housing, medical and educational opportunites.
BE A DISRUPTOR
