11I will
remain in the world
no longer, but they
are still in the
world, and I am
coming to you. Holy
Father, protect them
by the power of your
name—the name you
gave me—so that they
may be one as we are
one.
12While I was
with them, I
protected them and
kept them safe by
that name you gave
me. None has been
lost except the one
doomed to
destruction so that
Scripture would be
fulfilled.
13"I am coming
to you now, but I
say these things
while I am still in
the world, so that
they may have the
full measure of my
joy within them.
14I have given
them your word and
the world has hated
them, for they are
not of the world any
more than I am of
the world.
15My prayer is
not that you take
them out of the
world but that you
protect them from
the evil one.
16They are not
of the world, even
as I am not of it.
17Sanctify
them by the truth;
your word is truth.
18As you sent
me into the world, I
have sent them into
the world.
19For them I
sanctify myself,
that they too may be
truly sanctified. |

Christian Ministries
believes that community involvement is
essential to the advancement of the Kingdom.
The most specific and
direct passage of scripture addressing the topic of the local church's
involvement in its community would be Jesus' prayer in John 17:11-19 stated to
the left. Jesus states that we are not to be removed from the world, but that we
have been sent by Him into it. It is clear that we as Christians are not called
to isolationalism, but are to be involved for the advancement of God's Kingdom.
Here is just a small list of our work in the local community:
The Escrip program
A fundraising program that allows participating merchants to contribute a
percentage of your grocery loyalty cards, credit card, and debit/ATM card
purchases to the school or organization of your choice. Paper-based fundraising
programs have become a proven benefit to schools, churches, organizations, and
to all the children involved with these participating organizations. The eScrip
program brings an unprecedented ease of use and many other advantages to
fundraising programs -- it's the best vehicle for simple, year-round
fundraising. The eScrip program streamlines the whole fundraising process and
puts everyone -- the organization, the kids, their parents, and the community --
in the winner's circle.
Here's how it works
- Supporters register any or all of
their existing grocery loyalty, debit and credit cards for use in the
program.
- Participating national, regional
and local merchants will make contributions to enrolled organizations, based
on purchases made by supporters, who use their registered grocery loyalty,
debit and credit cards. The eScrip program will continually contract new
merchants.
- By using these registered cards at
participating merchants, supporters generate donations based on a percentage
of purchases as determined by each merchant or service provider.
- Every month the enrolled
organizations receive all merchant contributions made on behalf of all
participants. A summarized report listing supporters, merchants, and
contributions amounts are available online.
