Dear friends and neighbors
As members of Armor Up Ministries, we are constantly reminded of the importance of putting on the full armor of God as described in Ephesians 6:10-18. This armor is essential in our daily spiritual battles and in standing firm in our faith. But as we know, the armor of God is not just for our own personal protection and growth in faith – it is also for the purpose of being able to effectively serve and minister to others.
In Romans 8:28, we are reminded that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. This includes the trials and difficulties we face, as they can be used by God to refine and strengthen us for His work. As Armor Up Ministries, we believe that God has called us to be a shining light in the darkness and to share the hope and love of Jesus with those around us.
This calling is exemplified in the teachings of Jesus, as recorded in the sermon on the mount in Matthew chapter 5. In verse 16 Jesus says; “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Jesus calls us to seek first the kingdom of God. These teachings challenge us to go beyond just living out our faith privately but to actively seek out opportunities to serve and minister to others.
As Armor Up Ministries, we are constantly seeking ways to fulfill this calling and to make a positive impact in our community and beyond. This is where we need your help. We are calling on all followers of Christ, friends, as well as our neighbors, to join us in this mission and to assist us in our efforts to spread the love and hope of Jesus. There are many ways you can get involved, including volunteering your time and talents, donating financially, and praying for our ministry and those we serve.
Through music, dance, and other forms of artistic expression, we seek to honor and glorify God while also using our talents and gifts to serve others.
At Armor Up Ministries, we believe that biblical sturdiness is the foundation for meaningful help to our community. We strive to live out the teachings of Jesus and to follow his example of love and compassion for those in need. We believe that by embodying these values, we can make a positive impact on the lives of those around us and bring hope and healing to those who are hurting.
Direct service efforts include Bible studies, group meetings, one on one value time, food drives, Christmas fundraisers, paint nights, worship sessions-unique to Armor Up ministries, and many more amazing programs ahead. We also utilize artistic expression as a means of raising awareness about important social issues and advocating for positive change in our community. We believe that through our art, we can inspire others to join us in our efforts to make a difference. It is written, in Proverbs 17:3, “Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but the Lord tests the heart.” Greater the word, the greater the walk. Let us show you our talk matches every step we take forward.
Overall, Armor Up Ministries is committed to using artistic expression as a way to worship and praise the Lord, while also using our gifts and talents to serve and help others.
We are grateful for your support and pray that God will use Armor Up Ministries and all those who serve with us to be a powerful force for good in the world. May we be faithful in putting on the full armor of God and in fulfilling our calling to be salt and light, just as Jesus taught us in
Sincerely,
Aaron Evans (Minister)
