Ministries to the grassroots |
Ministry
to Construction Workers
|
|
Construction
workers labor hard to build homes for Hong Kong people, but
they are often neglected. In 2000 Jubilee helped to set up
a Construction Workers Mission Fellowship to support and train
Christians working in the construction industry. In 2005,
weekly evangelism programs reached eight construction sites.
Workers interested in Christ were invited to a lunch or tea-time
session where matters of faith were further explored.

 |
We
organize recreational activities, intervene during crises and visit
new believers and those interested in the Gospel as part of follow-up.
Over the past four years, we have contacted over 15,000 persons,
and over 300 people received Christ.

Rahab's
Rehab Ministry - a Ministry to Sex Workers
|
|
The Rahab's Rehab Ministry provides holistic care and evangelism
to female sex workers. We reach out to them through fun gatherings
and outings, and have set up a 24-hour counseling hotline to assist
those in crises. Those addicted to drugs are referred to drug rehabilitation
ministries. Our final goal is to help them leave the sex trade and
rejoin society. This involves job placement and setting up new homes.
To reach those who are arrested, Jubilee holds religious courses
in prisons and penitentiaries and visits sex workers in halfway
houses after they are released from prison. We equip and help Christians
reach out to prostitutes at their street perches.

New
Humanity Ministry
The
goal of this ministry is to equip churches and youth pastors
to reach out to youth- at-risk and marginal youth. We go to
places where the young hang out to care, listen and be a part
of their lives. The New Humanity Training Course trains teachers,
youth pastors, social workers and our own students in holistic
and practical skills.They are taught viable strategies and
learn appropriate counseling models.
|
 |
We
network with churches and other Christian organizations to co-sponsor
gospel parties for marginal youth in our local communities. During
summer vacations, our students all participate in short-term missions
to youth.

Ministry
to the Elderly
|
|
The
three-year "Senior-Soldiers for God's Kingdom" training course
unites churches of various districts to equip, motivate, and
mobilize elderly Christians for intercession and evangelism.
Graduates of the course are organized into a "kingdom senior
soldiers mission team" to visit the elderly in senior centers,
homes and parks. This mission team also takes overseas mission
trips in the summer, supports the evangelistic meetings of
many churches, and visits poor households in mainland China.
|
 |
|
In 2005, "Senior Soldiers for God's Kingdom" training courses
were held in seven districts, and a total of 700 people joined
these courses.

Loves the Grassroots Movement
Jubilee
Ministries co-ordinates and unites the ministries of various
Christian organizations and grassroots churches, helping them
develop their potential. We organize retreats for the staff
of these organizations, help mobilize their constituents,
bringing all into a movement of evangelism in the grassroots.

Partnership
with Churches
|
|
We liaise with target churches and districts, empowering them through
lay leaders training courses, serving as guest speakers, organizing
retreats and providing them with interns. We want to see these churches
revived, strengthened in worship and prayer. We support these churches'
ministry to the grassroots and refer new converts of our ministry
to them.
