God’s Heart to CareWe know that God will resource our efforts as we align our mission with His. We will relentlessly focus on the fulfillment of His agenda, not ours.
Our mission will be focused on aiding the physical, spiritual, and economical needs of specifically four people groups:
"The Levite, because he has no portion or inheritance among you, and the alien, the orphan and the widow who are in your town, shall come and eat and be satisfied, in order that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do."
Deuteronomy 14:29
Deuteronomy 14:29
This passage, along with many others, clarifies for us God’s heart to care for, to protect, and to provide for the disenfranchised and marginalized all around us. This verse also serves to clarify our mission which is to focus on serving the four people groups mentioned above.
These four groups are:
- The Ophan –those without parental support
- The Widow—those without spousal support
- The Stranger/Homeless—those away from home, and those without a home
- The Church—our neighboring sisters and brothers in Christ
