Awake Sleeping Giant: And Live Resurrection Power

By Rev Omar Nelson

The church is made up of humans like ourselves. Christians forget, lose sight or take Christ for granted. We need to be reminded of the healing power we have through Christ and his Spirit. "Awake Sleeping Giant" does that in relation to the mentally ill and needy. It reveals the healing power of Christ and the Spirit expressed as hope, empowerment, choice, and recovery environment. It also reduces stigma, which leads to a healthier community. The sleeping giant is the Christian Church. The church is made up of humans like ourselves.
