2A THE CHOWAN HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10,2018 CHURCH Continued from 1A ple doing that,” Mizell said. “There are other people who do that, but I tell you that a big part of what we do, the DNA in our culture and our church, is to look outside the walls.” Mizell explained his min istry’s calling. “The natural response is to look inward,” he said. “There are certain needs that are met within a church. Social, spiri tual and relationship needs are met within the church. The natural tendency is to improve that experience for those people who are there because it is meeting a spe cific need. I don’t want to say anything derogatoiy about a church which is pulled in that direction, but that’s only part the mandate.” Mizell talked about a mul titude of topics ranging from environmentalism to the value of life itself — ideals needed to improve the com munity. One such topic about racism generated a panel dis cussion that included state legislators, Superintendent Rob Jackson and Pastor Jonthan Downing of Shalom International Church. While many aspects of society are integrated, Sunday services remain segregated. To ad dress this aspect and per haps learn more, Downing and Mizell exchanged ser vices — novel idea. “We left with a couple of things that night that in trigued us about how to improve our community,” Mizell said. “One was the in tent for races to worship to gether and understand that we are all in this kind of deal together.” Another idea that bore fruit from the panel discus sion was Jackson’s idea for providing “scholarships” for pre-k and kindergarten chil dren to assist their educa tion so as to better prepare them elementary school. Mizell said not all students get to attend the pre-K class es needed to build the skills needed for the challenges ahead. Many of these chil dren, who come from dis advantaged backgrounds, desperately need time in the classroom and attention from teachers. So by acquiring the new property, Open Door Church wants to run a pre-school which will provide another educational option for par ents that may not have ac cess such programs, Mizell said. Need based, anyone would have access including children who have received scholarships. “They get to school and they are significantly behind the other students who have either had significant train ing at home or they’ve been in a pre-school environment where they learn the basics,” he said. “Those children that start out behind become frus- trated as well as it becoming a dilemma for the teachers and often these students end up dropping out later. One of the biggest things we can do is to provide a scholarship for a child at the pre-school level—to pay for a kid to go to school. That’s not a cheap venture by any stretch. A couple of people in our con gregation took it upon them selves do this personally for a couple of families.” Brew Rescue in Hertford where the profits from the cafe assist programs aimed at stopping human traffick ing. “This part of the ministry that we do in the commu nity,” Mizell said. Mizell said there is a pas sage in the Bible where Mary has poured alabaster on Jesus’ feet. The Disciples object because this money could have been used for other purposes such as providing for the poor, but it doesn’t appear if they are meeting the needs of the poor. “Jesus makes a statement that you always have the poor with you,” Mizell said. “That statement tears me because it’s kind of a state ment that says you’re never going to solve this problem, however, it is a problem you should always address. If we solved the world’s prob lems, there would never be anything inside of me that says I’m responsible for my fellow man. We’ll always have the need that needs to be fulfilled. I’m a firm be liever that the church has to stop depending on the gov ernment to meet the needs of the people in the com munity. We have to care of ourselves.” “A church has to look inward and outward at the same time. I think we only fulfill the call that Christ has given the church if we are meeting the needs of people who never come to our church, never enter SUBMITTED PHOTO Open Door Chuch Pastor Stephen Mizell delivers bedding to Tyner Manor, a group home for men, as part of an outreach effort from the church to provide new bedding for each of the residents. our doors and never have an opportunity to be a part of the church or don’t want to be a part of the church.
