Why we are Different
If you have been looking for an evangelical mission
organization with a difference, an organization through which you can
demonstrate your faith in Jesus Christ in a practical way, then take a closer
look at Equip.
Equip seeks Christians who have
chosen to work in service-oriented vocations out of a desire to help
others, men and women with a unique sensitivity to their responsibility
for sharing Christ with their neighbors through actions as well as
words. But Equip is selective; we want Christians who choose to apply
their efforts through the local church in its ministry to the community
rather than just work in the community apart from the church.
Too often ministries that emphasize
social action have been viewed as competing with evangelical
organizations for personnel funds, and time. At Equip we believe that
working with the local evangelical church is imperative, because the
local church is God’s instrument for reaching individuals within a
society. By encouraging local church members to exercise their skills in
the improvement of conditions in their community, we believe we can
impact their society in a way that reaps both immediate and eternal
rewards.
We refuse to compromise on the
evangelical preparation of our people. As a member of the Equip team
you will come away from your training with not only a better
understanding of your faith but also new skills and confidence for
sharing that faith and defending it effectively before others.
