Matthew 10:7-10
|
As you go,
spread this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near.'...
...Give them
things without charging, since you reveived them without paying.
"Don't
take any gold, silver, or even copper coins in your pocket. Don't
take a travel bag for the trip, a change of clothes, sandals,
or a walking stick. After all, the worker deserves to have his
needs met." |
The whole chapter
of Matthew10 is about the ministry field, but the verses above
summarize the whole message. We are also commissioned to give
and serve without reward. We need to serve selflessly. In the
end God will reward.
Matthew10 is
all about that concept. As a band, Matthew10 minister for free!
It is the cry of our hearts to reach as many young people as
possible with the Message.
God's love has
no price-tag and therefor we need to share it with everyone we
meet. As Christians we want to bring His love to young people
- free of charge.
And this is exactly
what Matthew10 did since 2004. Every year Matthew10 visited schools
in and around Durban, South Africa to minister to the youth free
of charge.
Living in a country
where poverty haunts the majority of its people, it is vital
to make God's word accessable to everyone; and what better place
to do it than at schools. The kids don't have to worry about
transportation or entrance fee costs.
Matthew10 will
spread its school outreach program to the rest of South Africa
in 2009. If your church would like to know how to get involved
and use Matthew10 in the schools in your area, feel free to drop
