Ministry
At the Matthew 16:16 Foundation, we embrace a divine calling to transform lives through active ministry and compassionate service. Our approach to ministry extends far beyond traditional boundaries, reaching into the heart of our community with programs designed to uplift, heal, and restore. Drawing inspiration from Christ's example of selfless service, we have cultivated a ministry model that addresses our community members' spiritual and practical needs.Our dedicated team of volunteers tirelessly works to ensure that God's love is manifested in tangible ways, creating a lasting impact in the lives of those we serve. We follow carefully crafted initiatives and strive to be a beacon of hope and a channel of God's grace in an increasingly challenging world. We believe that the smallest action counts, and our team works hard to make a world better for people in our community.
Blood Drive Ministry
Our Blood Drive Ministry represents the literal embodiment of giving life to others, just as Christ gave His life for us. We have launched this vital initiative to serve our local healthcare community in response to the critical nationwide blood shortage after the COVID-19 pandemic. It operates as a powerful dual-purpose program: it provides essential blood supplies to our community hospitals while raising awareness and support for our Foundation's broader mission. We coordinate with local healthcare facilities to organize regular blood donation events, mobilizing volunteers from our community to participate in this life-saving initiative. Through careful stewardship of donated resources and the generous spirit of our volunteers, we're working to address this crucial healthcare need while building stronger connections within our community.Creative Arts Ministry
Our Performing Arts Ministry brings Scripture to life through dynamic theatrical presentations and musical performances. This innovative program engages young adults and children in the dramatic interpretation of biblical parables, creating powerful, memorable experiences that make God's Word accessible and relevant to contemporary audiences. Our vision encompasses full-scale productions that require diverse talents—from performers and musicians to costume designers, technical crews, and creative writers. This Program allows individuals to use their artistic gifts to serve God while building a supportive community of creative believers. Each production serves as an outreach tool and a spiritual formation experience, allowing participants and audiences alike to encounter biblical truths in fresh, impactful ways.Restoration and Re-Entry Ministry
Our most ambitious ministry initiative focuses on restoration and new beginnings through our faith-based rehabilitation and prison re-entry program. This comprehensive ministry seeks to establish a dedicated facility that will serve as a beacon of hope for those transitioning from incarceration back into society. Our vision includes securing and renovating a suitable property to create a nurturing environment where individuals can rebuild their lives on a foundation of faith.We will provide more than just housing and offer spiritual guidance, life skills training, and a supportive community environment essential for successful reintegration. Through this program, we aim to demonstrate Christ's transformative power and the reality that everyone deserves the opportunity for redemption and renewal, regardless of their past circumstances. This initiative embodies our commitment to walking alongside individuals through their restoration journey, providing practical support and spiritual guidance at every step.
Living out one's faith is the daily commitment to embody Christ's teachings through tangible acts of love, compassion, and selfless service. This journey calls us to step beyond our comfort zones, reaching out to those struggling in darkness with both hands and hearts open.
