The mission of LIFETEEN at Holy Trinity can be summed up in three simple words: REACH. FEED. SEND. This model of ministry reflects that of Christ Himself, most clearly demonstrated in the story of the Road to Emmaus (Lk 24:13-32):
Jesus meets up with two of His disciples who fail to recognize Him. Rather than declaring His identity, He simply walks with them and listens to them as they talk about Christ’s death and resurrection. He listens to their stories and journeys with them before breaking open the Scriptures for them. And then, after sitting down with them for a meal, reveals Himself to them.
What a great model of ministry this story provides.
He REACHES them.
He FEEDS them.
And their faith SENDS them out to reach other people.
