SOS--In maritime terms it referred to Save our Ship. In 2008, for me and Solid Rock Youth Ministries, it stands for Summer of Service. Jesus taught that to be great in His Kingdom, one must be a servant. Countless examples are throughout the Gospels how Jesus recognized the needs of the people around him. Not only did he recognize them, he met them. As Christians, we must move from the dynamic of only speaking the Gospel of Christ and taking a note from Jesus himself and show compassion to others around us. There are people hurting near to every one of us: those pains might include hunger, thirst, loneliness, depression, hopelessness, emotional pain, abuse, and many others. Some needs are easier to diagnose and meet than others. Either way, we must do something. As Christians we must do it in Jesus' name so that He will be lifted up. In doing that we will capture the spirit of Christ which he exemplified throughout His ministry. Look for someone to serve this summer. If you are in SRYM or WCAG, look forward to unique opportunities to meet the needs of our nearby community.
