The call of every Christian leader is to show compassion and
create a culture of believers/followers who do the same. In the same way God
modeled love, so are Christian leaders to make every effort to “do and be
love.” Look no further than the account of the Good Samaritan (Lk. 10: 25-37)
for an example of Christian leaders totally committed to the work of the
“church” and are by nature without compassion for the one in need. It was the
“non-churched” who assumed the duty to “care-for-the-one-in-need.”
In our day,
caring for the unfortunate Is mostly the responsibility of the government,
businesses and non-profit organizations.
Target groups outside the church: Homeless,
Widows, Elderly, Single Parent Families, Children, Low-income households.
