Compassion Response

When asked about the most important of all God’s commands, Jesus responded that it was to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, but then added that there is also a second to that: Love your neighbor as yourself. Then he told one of the most famous of all his parables: “The Good Samaritan” who reached across typical cultural boundaries to help a stranger in great distress. (Luke 10:25-37)

Throughout history, sacrificial compassion for the needy has characterized God’s true Kingdom people. During these times of great trouble in our world, storyweaver training facilitators are reaching out to genuinely needy people among whom they are ministering to, in order to assist them in practical ways to get medical intervention, food, recover from natural disasters, survive persecution, or even just to have sufficient winter clothes. We are neither a humanitarian relief agency nor a community development corporation, but our training facilitators are taking initiative to put into practice the importance of implementing storyweaving training in ways that help the needy both materially and spiritually.

In the following video, a Storyweavers Global Training Partner gives an example of compassion response during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the COVID pandemic is mostly history now, the needs arising from great poverty continue.
