Why The P.U.R.E. Ministry Project?

PURE 12 | Why P.U.R.E.?

Then Jesus said to his host, "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."                                          Luke 14: 12-14  (NIV) 

PURE 5 | Why P.U.R.E.?

The one place in our culture where people with disabilities and their families should find love, acceptance, and comfort is the church. Sadly, that's not reality today. The question is: In light of the example of Jesus, will we Christians get involved with our brothers and sisters in P.U.R.E. ministry? Will we consider these people worthy of our ministry and commit humbly to this mission at God's urging? Will we lead people in this ministry that, if we simply look at Jesus' life, is most probably the closest to His heart? God promises that if we do, we will be blessed. 

The acronym P.U.R.E.. for the very first time POSITIVELY depicts the person with disabilities.The P.U.R.E. Ministry project not only accurately describes the people who are the recipients of the ministry, but also we who minister. The P.U.R.E. Ministry Project underscores the other crucial principle Jesus speaks about in this passage in Luke. When we reach out to P.U.R.E. people and their families, we must do so with pure hearts and motives. We must minister not for anything in return, but simply because Jesus has commanded us.
