Re: When You've Done It To The Least Of These....

We have a local ministry in our area called Matthew 25 ministries.
Their web site is
http://www.m25m.org/

A friend of mine (he's an Anglican priest) heads a ministry called International Sports Alliance. His office is in the Matthew 25 building. He teaches school during the school year and in the summer makes a trip to Haiti and works with children providing them soccer equipment and uniforms and presenting the Gospel to them. I don't know his web site offhand but he is mentioned in the Matthew 25 site at

I believe that we as Christians have an obligation to minister to people in both spiritual and material ways and that as we serve humans we are actually serving Jesus.

This is so exciting. Great job Matt.

Re: When You've Done It To The Least Of These....

UPDATE 7/7/08

Last night I preached on "Open Doors" and one of the verses I took my text from was:

1Cor 16:9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and [there are] many adversaries.

Today, we took our box of just under 50 lbs of clothes to the post office to send it out to the Alvears in Brazil. After arriving and getting up to the counter, the postal clerk gave us our first lesson on sending things out of country. Our box was too big to send "Priority". Needless to say it was a snag in the plans we had of getting this box out today. So we got all the correct info, and went shopping for the right size box. While in the line, my wife reminded me of the text I mentioned above, and reminded me that "there are many adversaries, but it was God that opened the door"!

So anyway, we are in the process of repacking 2 smaller boxes from the 1 big box. Unless we have another "adversary" show up, we are planning on shipping both out tomorrow. I knew this was going to be a learning experience for me, as it is truly "blind faith" on my part. But I have a promise from the Savior himself that "when I have done it unto the least of these, I have done it unto HIM".

We are very excited about what God is doing. We have purchased hosting, and will be launching our website for this ministry soon, hopefully within a few weeks. The website is:


Please keep us in your prayers as we work while its day. I am still believing that this is the small beginning of a international effort to fulfill Matt 25, and also give "seed" to some wonderful missionaries, so they can reach out to their fields with not only the gospel, but with much needed natural provisions.

Matt, two recommendations.

1. Read The Least of These My Brothers by Harold Bell Wright. He is the guy who wrote The Shepherd of the Hills.

2. Check into a charity called Save Your Soles. It exists solely to provide children shoes who otherwise would not have any.

You may also check on toys... we were asked to sent even broken toys to India (by the Indians themselves)... dolls without arms, etc.

Hmmmm. Getting Bibles for SA was one of the things we discussed in our first home meeting. In fact, I need to find out from SA what all she needs. I am hoping there is a way for her to get them there for less than what it would cost for us to ship them there. They allow for anyone to be specific in what their donation goes towards. I would imagine that Bibles would be expensive to ship because of the weight.
