Providing the church with opportunities to worship.
Offer your bodies as living sacrifices,
holy and pleasing to God--
this is your spiritual act of worship. (Romans 12:1-2)
For over 10 years, Good Works has been challenging the stereotypes associated with the poor by creating opportunities where people can form friendships with individuals who struggle with poverty. Each year God has used Work Camps and the Summer Service Program to bring together people from different places, life situations and economic backgrounds. We refer to these groups who come to Good Works as “Worship Teams” because they are offering themselves in obedience to God as they serve those people who are very important to Him — the widow, the stranger and the fatherless. They are choosing to obey God’s command to love Him and to love our neighbors. In 2006, 38 Worship Teams totaling 558 “worshippers” took part in the Work Camp opportunities at Good Works. It is our hope that you and your group would also consider serving the poor with us in rural southeast Appalachian Ohio.
Good Works exists
to connect people
of all walks of
life with the poor
so the kingdom
of God can be
experienced.
