Every Saturday night , twenty to thirty students take lunches to people in each of the four target hotels, as well as to those living on the streets of downtown. Their main goal is to initiate friendships and to look for opportunities to share the Gospel message. Each team within Outreach visits the same people every week to build consistency in relationships. They look to deepen relationships with those who are open. They are responsible for distributing groceries and clothes, taking people to the hospital, leading bible studies, and fulfilling other specific needs, always seeking to strengthen the friendships that Outreach initiates.
Every sack lunch is filled with a meat and cheese sandwich, fruit, dessert, and a Bible verse.
This group is crucial not only for meeting the physical needs of the people downtown, but also for creating opportunities through the Bible verse to share the Gospel message with people who otherwise might not listen to outreach. Members of this group are committed to lifting to God the praises and concerns of our friends downtown and needs of the En Christo ministry as a whole. They meet every Saturday to pray with the Outreach group and continue to pray and worship while that team is ministering downtown. This aspect is essential and as an entire organization we want to continue to come before God in prayer and keep Him as the center of En Christo, with all glory going to Him. Their job is to equip the members of En Christo by giving them the tools they need to minister effectively.
