For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me, I tell you the truth whatever you did not do for one of the least of these; you did not do for me. (Matthew 25:42, 43, 45)These words of Jesus are the inspiration behind Believers Church involvement in health care – a huge challenge in our times.
