To those new to religion, I recommend focusing on the concept of good samaritan, known the world over, and getting first aid training helps build confidence to help - say when there has been a road accident - even if it is just to help guide traffic around the injured person if they are in the road, say. I find first aid training along agreed lines encourages people to read the situation and prevent further harm and get help or get involved with others helping - it helps make you what Jesus - and the god who he called his father - wants you to be - or perhaps you are already. Not an expert in religion but a good samaritan.
