Ahav (Hebrew for "love") is the community outreach ministry. We seek to follow Christ's command to share the good news to the poor and the brokenhearted. Our vision statement is "to bring the Gospel of hope and love to our local community." [Isaiah 61]
Every Sunday afternoon, the Ahav team members, who commit themselves for a 12-week semester, visit DeWitt Park and Open Doors (a shelter near Port Authority) to build relationships with the homeless people in the hopes of bringing to them the redemptive and restoring love of Christ. We also are planning on holding Bible studies for homeless youth at Covenant House. Along with these weekly outreaches, we also hold major events such as Friendship Dinner (free dinner and worship/performances for homeless people at DeWitt Park), clothing drives, and Operation Christmas Ahav.
