Christianity
is not only believing in Christ Jesus as the Savior but it is also
doing good to others. Works demonstrate the faith. Christ came in
this world to liberate people who are oppressed, suppressed, who
are in poverty and in bondage and who suffer from diseases. It is
this work of liberation that prompts Christians all over the world
to elevate the sufferings.
The
diocese of Jabalpur is sensitive to the needs of the people. We
have the Jabalpur Diocesan Board of Social Services and its aim is
to fight against the suppressive forces and liberate people from
all bondages. The Social Service Board is engaged in :-
- Face to face
programme
- Legal aid and Panchayati Raj
- Street theatre.
The
reference areas villages number about 75 in Mandla District.
The
other and a distinct work for the handicapped and the Blind is the
Vikas Asha Kendra in Jabalpur where weaving, stitching, sewing and
knitting is taught. The children develop self-confidence and
become aware of their usefulness to the society. Mrs. Nora Singh
as Director has done a commendable work in promoting and infusing
a keen sense of service and dedication among the staff. |
