The Body Life (visitation) program
is an organized ministry designed to help all members of the
Airport Freeway church of Christ know that they are loved.
It is intended to be a ministry patterned after that of Paul
and Barnabas in Acts where they planned on visiting all the
brothers just to check on them:
|
Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us go back and
visit the brothers in all the towns where we preached the word
of the Lord and see how they are doing."
-- Acts 15:36 |
This ministry will also extend to those who are sick. All
members of the Body should realize that they can count on
the support and prayers of fellow Christians. With God's help,
these loving prayers will heal those that are downtrodden:
|
Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders
of the church to pray over him and anoint him with
oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith
will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up.
If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. --
James 5:14-15
