Report from President Samuel Macokebe of Jehovah Saints in Tanzania

Helping the Homeless

Report Summary: President Samuel Macokebe shared the following update:"I had a good meeting with some pastors and was informed about helping the homeless and what we can do to help them get a shelter for them. Some pastors informed me about helping homeless people and seeing how we can help them to get shelter."

Action Plan:

1. Collaboration with Pastors:

   • Discuss strategies to provide immediate assistance to the homeless.

   • Explore partnerships with local organizations or individuals who can contribute resources like land, building materials, or financial support.

2. Providing Shelter:

   • Identify areas where temporary or permanent shelters can be established.

   • Mobilize resources within the church and community to construct or acquire shelter for those in need.

3. Spiritual Guidance:

   • Minister to the homeless by sharing the Word of God, offering hope, and encouraging them in their faith.

   
   

Supporting Scriptures:

1. God's Command to Care for the Homeless and Poor:

   • Isaiah 58:7:

     "Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?"

     
     

     (This verse emphasizes the importance of providing for the basic needs of the homeless.)

2. Jesus' Teaching on Helping Those in Need:

   • Matthew 25:35-36, 40:

     "'For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' ... 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'"

     
     

     (This passage highlights the importance of serving others as an act of serving Christ.)

3. Encouragement to Do Good Works:

   • Hebrews 13:16:

     "And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased."

     
     

     (A reminder that acts of kindness and sharing please God.)

4. Providing Shelter as a Reflection of God's Love:

   • Proverbs 19:17:

     "Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done."

     
     

     (Helping the homeless is seen as an act of kindness toward God Himself.)

5. The Call to Unity in Helping Others:

   • Galatians 6:9-10:

     "Let us not become weary of doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers."

     
     

     (An encouragement to continue helping others, even when it is challenging.)

President Samuel Macokebe’s meeting with the pastors highlights the church’s commitment to addressing homelessness and providing shelter to those in need. As believers, we are called to be the hands and feet of Christ, demonstrating His love through practical action and compassion.
