WHAT WE CAN DO Carry Out His Word “What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?” - James 2:14-22
CLOSING COMMENTS • There are no overhead costs subtracted from monetary donations. One hundred percent of each dollar donated goes towards the benefit of the underprivileged • Part of He Cares’ goal is to instill service as a way of life in our youth and to help all of us develop a renewed sense of appreciation for what we have. • The vision for He Cares is to begin a similar service here in the US and to eventually partner with other Christian-based organizations.
