“I am involved with the Mission because it is a way that I can show the love of Christ while sharing the good news of the gospel. It gives me the opportunity to serve God by serving the homeless and demonstrating the physical manifestation of His Kingdom by offering food, shelter, and clothing to those in need (Matthew 25:35-39).”
