True Compassion Requires Faith and Action
Faith Facts
- Prayer is vital, but faith must be accompanied by professional, Christ-centered care for those suffering from trauma.
- Many hurting people in our churches need more than temporary gestures—they require ongoing emotional and spiritual support.
- Embracing both Biblical compassion and practical counselling reflects a holistic, loving approach to healing.
The heartbreaking loss of a young boy near a local church deeply impacted his mother and community. While the initial response by believers was strong, true healing calls for long-term, thoughtful support beyond moments of crisis.
Many brothers and sisters in Christ face deep wounds that can’t be mended by prayer alone. Addressing trauma requires both faith-driven prayer and qualified, confidential Christian counseling for true restoration.
“Prayer is powerful, but when it comes to trauma, it must be joined by listening, presence and professional care.”
The church must become a haven, offering practical love and safe spaces where individuals are empowered to heal. By integrating responsible care with unwavering faith, we witness to Christ’s love in real and lasting ways.
Let us strengthen our ministries by building communities where no one suffers alone and each member finds both spiritual guidance and practical care rooted in Biblical compassion.
