The Scriptures clearly reveal this call to action, and its truth will be our guide (1 John 3:16, Isaiah 58:6-12, Matthew 25:31-46, Acts 2:40-47). In recognition that poverty ravages many areas of the world - victimizing families, children and the elderly, we dedicate ourselves to a ministry of relief and development to aid the poor Wherever possible, our work is not to sustain the needy, but rather to break the cycle of poverty that plagues them. By providing educational opportunities and by focusing on community development, we strive to make impoverished individuals and villages self-supporting. food for hungry families and schoolchildren literacy for underprivileged women medicines and supplies to hospitals care and education for orphans and other vulnerable children water supplies (wells, aqueducts) to parched villages housing for the homeless micro-enterprise programs for poor families emergency relief from natural disasters &and many other projects and programs to relieve suffering and raise the quality of life for the poor in the Caribbean
