Relationship Between Neighbors
NeighborVision
is
a ministry of fellowship that is strong and faithful. The fellowship is
stronger than casual or secular groups because it teaches two disciplines
that lead people to dedication. Dedication is demonstrated to the
individual through small grants of matching
funds and acts of service. Through
these the individual grows in devotion to ministry, caring for others, and has a stronger more rewarding fellowship in the group.
1
matching funds
n.
funds provided to an individual,
usually a 70% matching fund, up to a set amount.
These funds are used by the individual to encourage
any second neighbor they choose. They may choose
a neighbor from the existing group or the general
community or a foreign mission field.
2
acts
of service n.
any assistance that benefits a
second neighbor, especially small steps that lead to
faith and fellowship. Example

Noriko (Nor eŽko) came to Sunday school to practice her English. The first morning in
Sunday class one of her classmates, speaking slowly and clearly, asked
her, "Who - is - Jesus?" Noriko smiled politely and took a
small red notebook from her purse and repeated as she wrote, hooo - is -
gee - sosss? Her classmate continued, "Jesus - is - the - son -
of - God." Noriko carefully wrote in her notebook.
The
next week, when Noriko returned to class, she was greeted warmly by her new
friends. One of them ask her, "Who is Jesus?" Noriko opened her
notebook and studied it. Then she read slowly, "Gee-soss is soan of
Goda. Yes?" Her classmates nodded, "Yes! Jesus is son of
God."
"I am
learning tea ceremony," writes Noriko.
