UP 4 GRABS: WORLD COLLABORATION is a Christ based ministry built on the foundation of His Gospel, which says "So we, though many, are ONE BODY IN CHRIST and mutually dependent on one another." (Romans 12:5; AMP). Though each is different, every Christian serves a specific purpose in "The Body". One part's strengths may be another's weakness and vice versa, but all are equally important to the perfect will and plan of God. UP 4 GRABS hopes to display this truth to the youth (ages 12-18) and young adult generations (ages 18-30).
The agenda is to use UP 4 GRABS: World Collaboration as a vehicle to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the local community youth by Encouraging the Found and Witnessing to the Lost! The Grace of God can do this in a million different ways and it is our desire to reach as many people in as many different ways as possible!!! “Why?†you may ask: As Disciples for Christ we are called to be fishers of men. The thing is, not all fish respond to the same bate. Because of this, UP 4 GRABS: World Collaboration hopes to unite the body of Christ so that we will not be limited to what we can do for our youth in the Kingdom of God!
We hope to sow a seed into the lives of many by spreading the True Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to all those who are willing to receive it!!!
"And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?" (1 Corinthians 12:16-17)
ENCOURAGING THE FOUNDAside from God's direct charge for His children not to forsake the Public Assemblies (Hebrews 10:25), we (Christians) have to remember that we are responsible for one another.It is becoming more and more apparent that Jesus’ return is drawing closer, but it seems God’s people are falling back and as a result of little faith, we desert Him Whom we ought to Trust and Obey (Matt. 24:10).Though the enemy seems to be making moves and causing such disaster in the world, our focus is to remain on our Heavenly Father because he who endures to the end will be saved (Matt. 24:13)!!!This is great news!!! So let us come together and encourage each other to reach for the promise!!!IT’S UP 4 GRABS!!!"Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." (James 5:16)
WITNESSING TO THE LOSTMathew 9:10-1310.) While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" came and ate with him and his disciples.
11.) When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?"
12.) On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
13.) But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."________________________________God has appointed us Christians to go out into all nations and spread the Gospel of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Mathew 28:19)!!!It's not an option, but a command straight from the mouth of JESUS CHRIST!!!In the above passage, Jesus was making it clear to the Pharisees that that He was not there to save the people who were already saved.He showed compassion not only to those who already knew the Truth but more so, to the people who needed to see God's goodness and come to repentance.That is also a goal of ours at UP 4 GRABS: WORLD COLLABORATION.We hope to be a witness to the lost so that they may see God's grace and seek His face!!!Join us in doing so!!!
