Across the planet, there are millions of people who do not know Jesus as their Lord.

We must be their friend and love them first of all, earning the opportunities to share the gospel of peace, and Jesus, with them. We do this by bringing a cup of cold water, providing food, helping with shelter, helping with clothing, helping with health issues, helping with educational issues…BEing their FRIEND while DOing life with them. Compassion is BEing more than DOing. Compassion is entering places of crisis & full immersion in full humanity.
