ROTTO Outreach Ministries Care Ministry

Prayer and words of encouragement are shared along with a token of love and written words from NFC’s Bishop and Pastor. In 2016 the ministry organised several clothing and community drives and monthly luncheons for the elderly. 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
Community Centre For Life (CCFL)
The vision for the CCFL is to provide programs for both adults and children in the Church community of Englerston. (For more information see over leaf )
Evangelism Ministry
The purpose of the Evangelism Ministry is to be an outreach arm of the church whose aim is to see a change in the lives of members of the community. In visiting the different homes of members in the community, the gospel is shared and prayers said with the family as an encouragement to seek a closer
relationship with Jesus. Further, the needs of these families are assessed and food parcels and articles of clothing are distributed as the need arises. During 2016, the Evangelism team visited Unity House, Persis Rodgers Home, Olds Folks Home and made rounds at the hospital on behalf of the church at least twice per month. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” Matthew 9:37-38
Welfare Ministry
The commission of the Welfare Ministry is to assist members of the church that are in need. The members of this ministry distribute non-perishable items to persons who are faced with trying times due to unemployment or other circumstances. These items are partially donated by members who contribute to NFC’s faith basket. If there is among you a poor man of your brethren, within any of the gates in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother.
