D Outreach Challenge 10 Days 2021
Jesus calls us not only to pray but also to serve the spiritual and physical needs of those around us. “For I was
hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was
naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me” (Matthew 25:35, 36).
In The Ministry of Healing we read, “We must live a twofold life—a life of thought and action, of silent prayer and
earnest work” (p. 512). We have received so much love from our Savior, and we have the privilege of sharing that
love with friends, neighbors, and strangers in need.
Ask God how you and your church can serve others after the Ten Days of Prayer. As you work to organize the
service activities, avoid letting the arrangements distract you from praying. “Personal effort for others should be
preceded by much secret prayer; for it requires great wisdom to understand the science of saving souls. Before
communicating with men, commune with Christ. At the throne of heavenly grace obtain a preparation for
ministering to the people” (Prayer, p. 313).
Here are some ways of helping others. Choose whatever fits the needs of your community, and feel free to add
your own ideas.
