This year, Mission Adventures is helping run the city-based component of City Lights.
Basically, City Lights is a non denominational movement that gets young people involved in serving their communities in a practical and loving way. In the past we have helped out with CYF’s initiatives, women’s homes, low decile schools and foster care – doing things like painting, cleaning, running community fun days, and DIY. The event is held over the weekend of March 5th and 6th. If you are in Auckland over this weekend and are thinking about getting involved I would urge you to do so. There are plenty of areas of need around our city and this is a safe and effective way to serve needs in a practical manner.
The Bible talks about ‘true religion’ as being one that serves the needs of the widows and the orphans – people that could do with a helping hand, and so often we as Christians are thinking, “How can I get closer to God?” Well the answer is quite clear in my opinion. These two objectives meet at the same point when Jesus says, “Whatever you have done to the least of these, you have done for me”.
