Who We Are
SPARE Ministries was created in response to Matthew 25: 35-40
35 ‘For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’
37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? 39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ ”
40“And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’ ”
We believe that the provision of information and services to groups in our society who might otherwise be neglected is representative of the teachings of Jesus Christ. As Christians, the board and staff of SPARE are bound together to answer this call through the establishment of SPARE Ministries’ programs.
