Heart Opportunities for Parish Evangelization                                                                                                                  

Jesus said in Mark 9:41: " 'If anyone gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, then in truth I tell you, he will most certainly not lose his reward.' "

Evangelization Ministry

Evangelization in the Church can happen in many ways.  If you are adventuresome and hear a call to become a "missionary" we have opportunities below called HEART Ambassadors. Another way to evangelize and live out your faith is to do corporal works of mercy.  By providing water filters to the poor in developing countries you are performing a corporal work of mercy.  Jesus said in Mark 9:41, " I tell you the truth, anyone who gives you (or another person) a cup of water in my name because you belong to Christ will certainly not lose his reward."

Human Concerns Ministry

Water . . .  what is more necessary to sustain life? The Evangelization Mission and the Human Concerns Mission - the two are intricately entwined together.

It is becoming more evident that the world is shrinking and nations are becoming  more dependent on each other for survival.  Our needs depend on all nations working together to promote peace, dignity, human rights, and solidarity. God's people are required by Jesus to meet these needs.

Through HEART for the Nations, a family can help a family . . . a parish can help a parish. . . to meet the physical needs for water and beyond. The Human Concerns team members can sponsor events for the purchase of water filters and health and hygiene educational materials.  We have several suggestions from very simple to more elaborate depending on the size of your team and responsiveness in your church community. Visit our Fundraising page for several ideas.  Your team will not be alone.  HEART for the Nations will gladly help you with your event.
