The Xtra Mile Community;
The idea to form the Xtra Mile community came mainly for those with no family to get a family. The community meets twice a week. One meeting is on Friday evening and the other one is on Saturday during the day.
The purpose is beyond ordinary meetings, but a family gathering. Every first Saturday of the month we share a meal.
The community accounts around 30 people who are divided into 4 groups. Either bible study or other kinds of works are done in those small groups.
Since the community started, there are many problems that have been solved, not only the problems of the community but some from other people that Xtra Mile works with.
Many issues are being solved, for instance issues like how to assist someone who is sick or someone who is going to get married; are solved in from the community. Also as a community of young people there is much time for fun.
Through this community, God has touched many people’s hearts. It was a dream for some of them to find a community where they would feel that they are free to share from their hearts.
We are hoping to start the same communities everywhere that Xtra Mile ministries has connections with orphans. Because we are aware that God is using it to get many people’s hearts.
It is difficult to deny what God is doing in the life of these young people who had lost hope for the future. God is using the simple way of community to reach and show his love to people.
