Faith in action

Matthew 25:34-40

New International Version

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

We often get so involved in our customs, celebrating, giving, and receiving, that we may forget there are millions around the world barely hanging on, often with little food, work , and poor living conditions.

Hand in Hands has witnessed this first hand prior to, and moreso during the pandemic. The vulnerable populations we serve display an amazing faith, and hope. Faith in Christ -that He will always provide for their needs , and hope in a better tomorrow. Our call is to be available as Gods children. In His name, Hand in Hands endeavours to rally with our community at large to spread the word and love others, as He would. All this is made possible with all of you that get involved in some way, as well as the hard work of Fausto and his wife Maricela that assess the needs, shop for all the food hampers (on their motorcycle!) and deliver to each family. They are truly a blessing!
