Meka has an immense passion to change lives through worship and music. But God revealed that changing lives also involves meeting people’s physical needs. With that revelation, He gave her the vision for KINGDOM Ministries and the desire to impact her community. The Lord led Meka to II Corinthians 9:9,12,13:
As it is written: “He has scattered abroad His gifts to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.” This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God’s people, but is also an overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the Gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else."
Through this scripture, Meka learned that outreach goes hand in hand with our message. “Our service is to 'accompany our confession of the Gospel.' We can sing, preach and impart to people, and still leave them unchanged. In order to really motivate transformation, we’ve got to meet needs as well. That means feeding the hungry, providing clothes for the less fortunate, and helping the sick and disadvantaged. We can render our efforts to win souls ineffective if we don’t provide for people first; so that they are ready to hear and actually receive what we have to say.” This is the very foundation Jesus laid and the pattern that He set for us through His ministry. He met the people where they were. This is exactly what Meka desires to do through KINGDOM Ministries.
“The vision and inspiration for this ministry is CHANGE! We want to show the love of Christ, in word and deed, in order to touch hearts and change lives. We want people to encounter the presence of the Lord in a way that evokes radical change, causing them to be saved, healed, delivered and set free to worship, love and live for Christ completely!”
A growing core group of people is striving to impact the community and make a difference along with Meka.
