A Call to Restore

July 21, 2014 by Jim Liske

How are Christians called to serve our broken neighbors?  In a sermon to Ridge Point Community Church in Holland, Michigan, Prison Fellowship Ministries President and CEO Jim Liske discusses the importance of being “people of restoration” for those in need of God’s healing.

“Our destiny in faith is to be people of restoration,” says Liske. “And that means going to where the brokenness is, and determining that we are going to bring the Kingdom.  We’re going to bring God’s rule and reign, and we’re going to bring the Gospel and we’re going to bring grace, and we’re going to refuse to identify people by their past.  And our faith is going to say, ‘No, hope is here, I can see the improvement, and God is going to empower it.’  That’s our task.  That’s our opportunity.  That’s our calling.”
