Maybe you have never thought much about this, but God has you living where you are for a reason. He wants you to impact your city or town in a way only you can. Consider this Bible verse: “Work for the peace and prosperity of the city where I sent you….Pray to the Lord for it, for its welfare will determine your welfare” (Ker. 29:7).

You are called to engage the area you call home. Bless your city or town by showing the people who live there the love of Jesus in action. Here are a few practical ways you can start serving your city or town:

  • get involved with your church’s community outreach ministries
  • serve at a local homeless shelter
  • serve at a pregnancy crisis center
  • sign up to build houses with Habitat for Humanity
  • tutor children in low-income areas
  • say thank you to your local police officers and firefighters

– Nelson Searcy and Jennifer Dykes Henson

The above excerpt is from p. 114-115 of The New You: A Guide to Better Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual Wellness.

With your copy of The New You, you will come away with specific strategies on how to lose weight, get more sleep, lower stress, nurture better relationships, connect with God and much more! Anyone who wants to trade in the frustration of average living and less-than health for the hallmarks of the new life God promises will find The New You an effective personal guide for the journey.
