| | The WORD Church is a church known throughout our community, our city, and our nation as a church that stands on and exemplifies Matthew 25: 35-40 when Jesus said, â35 I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me a drink; I was a stranger and you received me in your homes, 36 naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you took care of me, in prison and you visited me.â 37 The righteous will then answer him, âWhen, Lord, did we ever see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink? 38 When did we ever see you a stranger and welcome you in our homes, or naked and clothe you? 39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?â 40 The King will reply, âI tell you, whenever you did this for one of the least important of these followers of mine, you did it for meâ! Through our newest partnership with CarePortal, The WORD Church has an opportunity to show âwe careâ in an even more so, as we branch out to show the hands, feet, and heart of Jesus in the earth realm through our giving efforts.
CarePortal serves any child in crisis. Jesus cast the widest net of love, tearing down cultural biases and promoting radical, personal generosity and concern for those in need. With that example, CarePortal brings together diverse constituents â government agencies, churches, businesses, schools, and other ministries â to support children and families in crisis regardless of race, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, nationality, political leanings, etc. Each request submitted to CarePortal for goods and services fits one of these purpose statements to help accomplish a case plan goal for children and families in crisis:
