Community Projects: Action Together
When people gather to follow His Way, they take action together. These aren’t organized programs—they’re spontaneous acts of service, mercy, and love that emerge when believers come together.
“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.” - Matthew 18:20
What Happens When We Gather
When people who follow His Way come together, action naturally follows. You might:

The Key Principles
Whatever you do together, remember:

- Share His Way - Let others know what you’re doing and why
- Stay humble - Don’t do it to be seen
“Be careful that you don’t do your charitable giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.” - Matthew 6:1
Share Your Story
When you take action together, share what happened:
