LIFE COMMUNITY SERVICES: The Birth Of A Vision

Open your mouth for the dumb,
for the rights of all who are left
desolate. Open your mouth, judge
righteously, maintain the rights of
the poor and needy.
Proverbs 31:8-9

In the New Testament, Jesus came into the world to defend the rights of the afflicted. He came with a mission to preach, liberate, heal and deliver (Luke 4:18-19). He came with the purpose to reach the needy, change rigid mindset and touch community. He came with the heartbeat of God. He felt for the people. He cried over their pain and losses. He bore their infirmities. He set the example for us to follow today.

It was this Christ-taught vision that saw the birth of Life Community Services (LCS) in early 1996. LCS was established to sow God’s love and compassion in a hurting world through caring community works under the auspices and sponsorship of Glad Tidings Assembly of God, Petaling Jaya.

Vision

To relieve the yoke of the less fortunate To release those under bondage and captivity To befriend the lonely and friendless To provide shelter to the neglected and abandoned To counsel the lost and wounded To alleviate the plight of the sick and infirm To teach godly values to those who would listen

 LCS seeks to establish, operate and provide:

From the humble beginning of a childcare centre in 1996, the hands of the Lord have guided the LCS Ministry into other areas of social concern work.

Proverbs 14:31b states:
“Whoever is kind to the needy honors God.”

We therefore invite all public organizations, corporate bodies and individuals to help us help the less privileged in society. We value all forms of assistance, contributions, sponsorship and support.
