Bikh. 11:23-24

Paul wasn’t one of the original twelve apostles. Nonetheless, he took Jesus’ Great Commission to heart and spent his entire life making disciples, or students, of everyone he met.

For much of the world's population, disasters are part of life. Hurricanes, storms, earthquakes are common. Some make the international news headlines, but many don't. Perhaps, right now, you're facing a disaster that has hit your community. In the aftermath of disasters, hope can be hard to find. YouVersion partner Tearfund is an aid agency that responds to disasters. In this set of bible studies, Tearfund shares some of its learning on what to do when disaster strikes.

Jesus’ call for us to love our neighbours as ourselves includes people of other faiths, even if this puts us at risk of danger and shame. The Bible is clear that at times, the love of Christ may call us to suffer, even die for the sake of the gospel. Yet still we realize that our love should reach out to all people, including those scattered around the world.

Once we receive God’s love offering to us, we are prompted to become love offerings ourselves. This five-day Bible plan challenges you to put your faith into action and share God’s love through prayer, presence, encouragement, forgiveness, and sacrifice. While this plan focuses on changing the world around you, it will also change the heart within you, as you will find more joy and fulfillment in your daily life.
