Jesus was very clear in his last earthly breaths that we, His Church, are to represent His life and words everywhere we go—starting in our communities (Acts 1:8). Needs exist right around us and the biggest human need of all is spiritual—to know God’s amazing grace and forgiving love through Christ. But, other needs exist too like, hunger, a need for warm clothing, housing, education, encouragement, love, etc. Sometimes, meeting these fundamental human needs opens the heart’s door to Jesus Himself and His Good News.
