“Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.”
— Matthew 25:40
Jesus reminds us that when we feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, care for the sick, support a family, or simply show up for someone in need, our service becomes something more. We encounter Christ in one another.
Come to Serve helps make that call practical — connecting people who need help with people ready to serve.
