註釋This book is for you - if you're a follower of Jesus Christ and desire to serve him.All Christians agree that God's people should be involved in caring and serving others. These others include fellow believers and those outside the church. Potentially there is no other fellowship on earth that can meet people's needs in the way that the church can. If individuals or congregations sometimes fall short of their potential it is because they share in human weaknesses along with everyone else.God wants Christians to find in their local churches the personal acceptance, friends and practical care they need. He also wants the love and care Christians share to overflow to all people. The purpose of this book is to encourage congregations as well as individuals to care and to show them how.A great deal of attention is being given at present to lay ministry. Training church members for their ministry is no easy undertaking. Even more difficult is the task of finding satisfying and worthwhile areas of ministry for them. Caring is the most basic and needful ministry that exists. Every Christian can be involved in a ministry of caring inside and outside the church. Caring for one another in Christ's name can be most satisfying and above all it benefits others.
