VISION

W

e also inspire each other to serve one another and to collaborate with external organizations or individuals in taking care of complex matters. There are numerous bible verses that give us guidance as a department. Matthew 7:12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. We serve one another in a time of need, whether in joy and sadness. This enables us to embrace each other and grow closer for the Glory of God and for His Kingdom. 1 Peter 4 :10 As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. James 2:14-18 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.”

Our vision is thus, a caring integrated system of social development services that facilitates human development and improves the quality of human life. Our lord Jesus says ‘The spirit of the Lord is upon Him to perform. Luke 4:18 -19 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”[ Matthew 25:35-36 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.’ Isaiah 61:1 1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.

MISSION To afford our members an opportunity to share and celebrate their success. To enable the poor, vulnerable, excluded, those in spiritual captivity needing freedom, the broken hearted needing binding, the ability to experience the love of God through caring and support. • Draw members closer to the Kingdom of God through good deeds  •Instill good moral values in self, family and communities  •Enable each and everyone to identify ones purpose in life the kingdom way  • Lead a Christian life
