Recommended: Science and its impact

To serve in Christian Social Ministry means to spread the love of Christ through social manners such as outreaches, events, and non profit organizations just to name a few ways. Before 1950 the major faith based non profit organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Compassion International and Samaritan’s Purse, did not exist. Today we know two gospels: the social gospel and spiritual gospel. Before there was only one gospel, two were created due to enlightenment and modernism putting Christianity in a situation. Science began inferring with faith. Christianity responded by developing two forms: liberal and conservative. Then there was a realization of poverty on a global scale and a desire to change it. This caused there to be more emphasis …show more content…

After all God is love. Over the Summer I took a mission trip to New York City. We had a team of doctors and nurses in Brooklyn giving free blood pressure checks, heart exams and more and showed God 's love. People were curious why we were doing this for free. I was just a beginner though; I was more learning than doing at that time. Then to my surprise on my way back to Florida a makeup company called Younique caught my eye and they were offering an opportunity to have an online cosmetics business. I never thought I 'd want to sell makeup; I barely wore makeup. In the past I struggle with severe low self esteem issues and was unmotivated for a long time after having my son Julian to even get dressed in the morning was a huge hassle. Then I realized, God 's power through me because my body is a Holy temple for the Holy Trinity. Women came to me to learn how to become more beautiful and in the end I showed them how to be beautiful on the inside. People say they are good people, but what does that really mean? God defines morals since He creates us. Younique is spelled differently to put emphasis on each woman, and sometimes men to show how each person is younique. Their mission is to uplift, empower and validate people. I ask each person who buys my product how they are unique. I enjoy developing relationships with my clients. Once I feel that we are connected I then share with them how the love of Christ can make them truly unique through His gift of grace giving us a new spirit body and being sanctified through adoring prayer, meaningful supplication and heart felt repentance. I never thought Younique would provide me with an opportunity to minister to women. Through this I show women how Jesus will always make them beautiful and unique and how no person can ever provide true happiness because we all have flesh. The more we seek Him though, the more we become unique and

    As my role of becoming a justice based social worker and being exposed to new knowledge about oppression and privilege, I want to focus on the topic of race and White privilege to strengthen my knowledge and the knowledge of others on multidimensional levels. There are a few reasons why I have chosen an action plan focused on race and White privilege. I believe it to be a longstanding issue in our society, it is rarely discussed because of the uncomfortable territory that comes along with it, and more importantly, I would like to expand my awareness of how race affects individuals on different systemic levels and my awareness of my privileges can affect my role as a social worker. “Teaching about White privilege is fundamental to understanding

    My overall experience in Intro to Human Services was phenomenal. This class was definitely one of my favorite classes this semester. I loved the way it was taught and I was able to understand how human services works while reading the book Precious throughout the semester. This course isn’t an easy class that you can just relax and breeze through. It has a lot of fundamental chapters that explain the jobs of helpers also known as human service workers. I loved how we were supposed to read the chapters before class and then we would review in class. It made more sense by doing it this way.

    Social work is the profession of helping a variety of different people in all aspects of life. For example, as we discussed in class by “creating social conditions favorable for that goal.” Clients are worthy of the decisions they make, it might not always be the best one, but we need them to be able to have self-determination for seeing they have control in their life. Therefore, we need to be sure that everyone has the fairness of having relationships between people. Including you as the helper and outside resources that they might have they can rely on. Advocacy is important because we need to be the voice that clients don’t have and help support the needs that need to be appointed. Every client that we help has the chance to achieve their

    “As Psalm 82:3 commands nd Galatians 6:10 states, we as a church feel it si our responsibility to show a Christian response to poverty. We therefore commit to long-term assistance for the poor and needy amongst us. We strive to help them achieve economic self-sufficiency while focusing on the family’s spiritual, physical and emotional growth, as well as their positive interaction with society” (Church Model, 1995). In the year 1995, Professor Cynthia Sutter-Tkel and her students, created an outline for the church of how to serve their society. Its set up as though the church is conneced to a Social Worker or one in office. In my opinion, however, we don’t need to be a Social Worker to serve the community with the Social Work values.

    Becoming a social worker would be the greatest and rewarding achievement I could ever accomplish. The social work profession facilitates social change and development, social cohesion, and the empowerment and liberation of people. (Australian Association of Social Workers, 2016, para. 2).The area I’m interested to work in is Child Abuse and young people with disability because of personal experience. One of my major inspiration through her quote is (Mother Teresa 2001) “If you can 't feed a hundred people, then feed just one". I connect with this quote because I know I can never change the whole world but I can make a different in one-person life.

    PSYC321-Social Psychology taught me about the ways in which people are influenced by others, how people make decisions, inferences we make about others’ attitudes and personalities, and influence of situational and variables on behavior. I learned that people behave the way that they do for so many reasons. Behaviors are caused more by the social situation than they are by the characteristics of the individuals. One of the concepts that I recall is Lewin’s equation which indicates that the behavior of a person at any given time depends on both the characteristics of the person and the influence of the social situation. Some of the things we do can also be attributed to cultural influences and differences that exist between societies. I found

  • Exploratory Essay: Why Service Work Is Good

    856 Words  | 2 Pages

    When we look around, there are numerous voluntary service projects surrounding us. Even though it is voluntary, a lot of people are willing to do it. But why? It is widely accepted that service is good, we don’t have to question anything. Due to this, without any aversion, we have accepted the goodness of service and started practicing it quickly. I am convinced that a lot of people believe that service work is good for whoever does it and receives it. Why do people do service? If this question is asked to many people who are currently doing it, they would answer as if the service benefits them. It is more about what they get, not about God. We all know that even if something looks great for its appearance, if it does not glorify God, then the purpose of doing it becomes meaningless. C.S. Lewis talks about the true meaning of charity and how service truly should be done in his book, Mere Christianity. Also, we are able to get a true earthly perspective of what we perceive service as and why we are doing service through Adam Davis’ work, What We Don’t Talk About When We Don’t Talk About Service. Lewis discloses his thoughts on what is charity and how Christians should do service and Davis supports Mere Christianity by telling us the real reason why most people serve. However, the motivations are not the same which differs their way of reaching the argument. Both works of Lewis and Davis challenge us to think twice about what we think of service and charity and if we are rightly motivated.
