Helping Others
We are disciples of Jesus Christ who continue to heed the lessons taught to his followers: to live lovingly and justly as servants of Christ by healing the sick, feeding the hungry, caring for the stranger, freeing the oppressed; being a compassionate presence, and working to develop social structures that are consistent with the gospel.
God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.
