We believe this
is Biblical and follows the example that Christ
gives us to feed the hungry, clothe the naked,
help the sick, and aid the hurting.
(Matthew 25:35-36) We
purpose that this aid be given without regard to someone's
race, sex, religion, or background. We are here to
help the needy because of who we are, not because of who
they are.
We
purpose that this effort lay the groundwork to encourage
local churches of the areas being served to spread the Gospel
of Christ to their communities.
We
purpose to involve as many Christians as possible, by adopting
a middle of the road course, avoiding conservative or liberal
extremes, yet welcoming their help in reaching the lost. We
purpose to do this by not entangling ourselves in squabbles,
but by keeping our eyes firmly fixed on Christ. It
is our belief that this effort transcends the politics of
guilt by association, of brotherhood camps, and of personalities.
Surely
genuine Christians can rise above these things to do what
Christ has both demonstrated and stated that we should do: Feed
the hungry, help the sick, and preach the Good News to all.
We
purpose not to conflict with what local congregations are
doing, but to work with them in a Biblically
cooperative
pattern.
