When Gospel Transformation Ignites Outreach
So often world mission and community outreach end up being a "tactic" or an "obligation" instead of being an outflow of what Christ has done in our life. At Epikos church we desire to foster an environment where we are so transformed by the gospel we can't help but share Christ's love in word and deed. Below are some ways for you to allow the gospel to spill over into other's lives.
Casas por Cristo: Guatemala
Have you ever considered a short term missions trip? For the past 3 years Epikos has partnered with Casas por Cristo to build a home for a family in need. Since 1993 Casas por Cristo has worked to share the love of Christ through building homes in Mexico and now in Guatemala. Casas por Cristo works in partnership with the local pastors by coordinating teams from the U.S. and Canada to come on a trip and build homes for families that have been selected by the respective local Casas por Cristo Pastor’s Committee. No experience in building is necessary! For more information please contact Sara Stiller at saras@epikos.org

Join us at the Milwaukee Rescue Mission every 4th Saturday of the month to serve lunch for the poor and the homeless. This is a great opportunity to connect with other people in the church while spreading the love of Christ to our community. Can’t make it Saturday mornings? You can always contribute to the ministry by dropping off juice, chips, and desserts in the bins located at both the Eastside and West Allis Epikos locations.

Every first and third Saturday of the month help Burmese refugee families. Work with adults on cultural skills to live successfully in the United States. Teach cleaning, banking, directions and other important skills all while helping the adults learn English! Hang out with the kids upstairs- playing games, making crafts, eating snacks and teaching the Bible. Not able to help out on Saturday mornings? As a ministry we are in need of snacks and art supplies to use with the kids and the families are always in need of furniture and clothing.
