SOA CHURCH ARCHITECTURE AND CONSTRUCTION
REACHING THE COMMUNITY THROUGH JOBSITE MINISTRY
Acts 1:8 says, “…you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Job Site Ministry can bring your Jerusalem to your doorstep, even as you expand your ministry across your Judea, Samaria and beyond.
A spiritual partnership with a church is the most rewarding part of any project that SOA has encountered over 25 years. The paradigm shift here is to focus on the mission field that the Lord will bring to the church doorstep as an opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus instead of seeing another building project. Jobsite ministry started out as a devotion time for the workers, but since inception, it’s become much more. In preparation for ministry, the pastor and SOA develop two distinct teams during the planning and design phases of the project.
The Adoption Team
The Adoption Team is designed for those individuals who are timid and shy about sharing their faith, but strong prayer warriors. Members of this team adopt a worker by selecting a photo of workers, provided by our team with permissions, who will be stationed at the jobsite sometime during the course of construction. This member will bathe the worker in prayer prior, during, and after the work is done. In essence, the adoption is a lifelong commitment to pray for this worker.
The Ministry Team
The Ministry Team is designed for those individuals who are not timid but bold and confident with sharing their faith and willing to give away part of themselves and dedicate time to disciple a worker who may be a new believer. This team will care for the physical and spiritual needs of the workers for example meals, lunches, clothing, transportation, weekly devotions, and a wide array of other needs. The end goal is that no worker who was part of the construction process will leave without knowing the church members love them and Jesus loves them. A spiritual partnership is complicated sometimes but the rewards are eternal.
