40 days of focused spiritual growth to
Grow Deeper in Word, Spirit, and Community,

What's Project Safe Place
A guided process for the cell to discern the people God is calling them to provide a safe place to. This includes:
Listening to the people whom the cell is to serve
Planning a project to be a safe place for the people (e.g. inviting migrant workers to your cell for dinner, bringing a blessing packet to the needy in the community)
Executing the project
Developing a sustainable plan to continue to be a safe place to the people

40DOB - Ideas for Project Safe Place 2
Last year at Christmas, the Outreach Ministry took the theme of “Christmas At Your Doorstep” literally, and many of you were involved in decorating, packing and distributing gifts and goodie bags to more than 1,700 households and individuals in the estates around PLMC and our Outreach arms.
This has given you a taste of what Project Safe Place can be like, but it does not only have to be at Christmas. Watch this video and be inspired.
Participating in 40DOB has to be done with others; we cannot do it alone as individuals. If you are not yet in a cell, and want to be in one, sign up here: https://tinyurl.com/40DOBSIGNUP
