Joining The NightWatch Team

IS THE NIGHTWATCH MINISTRY FOR YOU?

1.) Are you a “born-again” believer — saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ?

“Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’” — John 3:3

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” — Ephesians 2:8-10

2.) Are you a mature follower of Christ with a desire to show the love of Jesus and to spread the Gospel in practical ways to the people on the street?

“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’” — Matthew 28:18-20

3.) Would you be comfortable interacting with and befriending homeless people in the places they sleep and hang out?

“…the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’” — Matthew 25:37-40

4.) Are you willing and prepared to pray with people, serve people, and share your own personal story and testimony when it is appropriate to do so?

“…always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you…” — 1 Peter 3:15

5.) Are you at least 18 years of age or older?

FIRST TIME ON NIGHTWATCH?

For those who have volunteered for the NightWatch team and scheduled a time to come out with us, here are some instructions:

• Wear sturdy, closed-toed shoes and clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty.
• Dress for the weather and temperature. This is an outdoor outreach.
• Bring a flashlight, if you have one.
• Bring your Bible. (Or use one of ours.)
• Meet the NightWatch team on Friday evening at 7:30 p.m. in the front parking lot at the Salvation Army Center of Hope, 1311 S. Eugene Street. (map)
• Do not bring money, a purse, or valuables with you. You can bring your cell phone, but please turn the ringer to “vibrate.”
