Christian Help's Mission

to respond to situations
of emergency or need
with immediacy and simplicity,
respecting the dignity of all,
in the spirit of Jesus Christ.  

Our vision for a caring community

We envision a caring community, in which some, impelled by the love of God and/or human care and concern for their brothers and sisters, share their goods with those less materially blessed—sort of like the early Christian community.

We see Christian Help as the instrument through which this help is given, whose task it  is to evaluate situations, assess need, respond with the needed help, and encourage and assist the recipients in striving for self-reliance and independence.

I was hungry, and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; a stranger, and you clothed me; ill, and you cared for me; in prison and you visited me. "When?" we ask. Whatever you do for the least of these, my brothers and sisters, you do for me.

--Matthew 25: 35-40
