Start Becoming a Good Samaritan Participant's Guide

start> Becoming a Good Samaritan is a six-session small group Bible study like no other (DVD/digital video sold separately). Prepare to have your eyes opened, your heart stirred, your vision kindled, and your faith focused and invigorated like never before!

Love your neighbor. Change the world... It starts with you, today.

The homeless man wandering your streets. The disenfranchised roaming your neighborhood. The sick and forgotten pushed to the edge of your town. Let's get to work! In partnership with World Vision, start> Becoming a Good Samaritan is an unprecedented initiative that helps Christians live out Christ's love in world-changing ways, right now, right where you live.

This experience will help you explore issues like poverty, social injustice, pandemic diseases, the environment - and teach you how to start making a personal, street-level impact today. Inside are discussion questions, radical but commonsense ideas, and personal applications to help you live out your faith in ways that will change the community around you.

Sessions include:



Becoming a Good Samaritan
Caring for the Sick
Seeking Justice and Reconciliation
Honoring the Poor
Tending to God's Creation
Loving the Forsaken
