Implementation Essay, Describing chosen project- A church without walls, a ministry of
online Bible Study and Prison Worship Services
Abstract-Introduction and Overview-purpose of Project-Literature review ( at least 3)-Implementation of project ( 6 weeks), conclusion
According to 1 Cor 3:16 which states “Know ye not that ye are the
temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”, implies that the temple,
meaning the church dwells within us. Many believe that the church is a building, a place to worship with one another, but it is clear that the bible states that the church is not
physical, but rather spiritual. There are no walls, no bricks, no wood, no building, it is within
our bodies. Therefore how we worship with one another can be how we choose. Where we go, our spirit follow, it has no limitations. Ministering according to our beliefs can travel
beyond the walls of any buidling, it is not confined, nor constrained to a dwelling, but rather a spiritual fellowship of souls to fulfill the work of God.
The purpose of the paper is to provide a foundation related to the implementation of a
online bible study and prison minsitry, that literally was not bond by a dwelling but occured over the computer or within cells of a prison.
Both forums helped reach audiences beyond a dwelling place, was limitless, and provided a place to worship and learn the will of God.
The implementation of both forums took place over a period of 6 weeks. the online bibles
study started out with 5 participants and grew over weeks to 20. An online survey of the
participnats was adminstered at the start of the implementation and at the conclusion. Initially the participants stated they had some knowledge of the bibe, but wanted to lean more. they enjoyed this forum, due to the convenience of worshipping and learning where ever
they wanted to. Most joined from home, some at work, and some while driving to other
destinations.
The prison minsitry, allowed inmates to worship as well. they asked alot questions, a felt more connected to God despite their circumstances. At the start they felt ambivalent to have
some one connect with them, but as time with on, they requested to hear the word and
and pray. There were 12 inmates who paerticipated in the prison minsitry, all felt the
implementation was helpful.
For the literature review, please provide possible studies related to churces without walls,
and how minstering can occur in any place, it is not a buidling.
