Dare to Care Ministry
Jesus cares. He cares about you and he cares about me. He cares if we are hungry or thirsty, or poor, naked, lonely, hurting, sick, afflicted or afraid. He loves us and cares for us and he wants us to care about others too. That is what the Dare to Care Ministry is all about. It is about caring enough for others to meet people’s needs through the power of the Holy Spirit. Dare to Care is a ministry of people who are not afraid to step out in faith and be used by God in many different ways. Each of us have spiritual gifts that God has given us to use in serving and helping others.
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 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.
"Then the righteous will answer him, `Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
"The King will reply, `I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
