HOW DOES IT WORK?
Via a communication portal
with minimal SCC staff time and no budget impact
the way it comes together
Needs unfold within the community
Ministries and charities on mission to help others in a variety of ways voice needs for volunteers and material goods on the portal. These organizations make their requests known confidently, with the hope that God will move among His people to share what He enables them to provide.

Hearts are stirred to help
The Body of Christ at Sunrise, and other local churches who may use this portal, become like watchmen on the city gate. They diligently explore ways to serve the ministries He has called them to follow, and they prayerfully consider how the LORD can use them to assist.

God meets the needs through His Body
The Church responds as Gods enables. When someone finds a need they can help meet, they make a commitment via the portal and the ministry/charity is notified. Information about how/when/where to meet the need is exchanged directly between the need requestor and the need provider using email. When the commitment has been completed, that milestone is also recorded through the portal. The ministry/charity will know who responded to the call and the church portal through which they served.

Blessings abound and God is glorified
When members of the Body of Christ "show up" to serve their neighbors it is a source of blessing for the individuals / families served, an encouragement to the staff/leadership of the organizations who posted the need on the portal, and God is glorified.
