At Port of Mission Outreach Ministries, we are committed to meeting the physical needs of those in our community. Whether it's helping someone find housing, providing clothing, furniture, or personal care items, we believe we are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus, demonstrating His love through action.
As we continue to serve, these top 5 Bible verses provide the encouragement we need to carry out our mission faithfully and effectively.
1. Matthew 25:35-36 – Serving the Least of These
"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me..."
Jesus reminds us that when we serve others, we serve Him. Our work in providing essentials like food, clothing, and furniture reflects this truth every day. Each act of service is a direct expression of God’s love for those in need.
2. James 2:15-16 – Faith in Action
"If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled,' without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?"
Faith without action is incomplete. Our mission at Port of Mission Outreach is to go beyond words and ensure the physical needs of those we serve are met, whether it's through providing a new coat or helping someone furnish their home.
3. Galatians 6:2 – Bearing One Another’s Burdens
"Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."
In mission work, we often encounter people carrying heavy burdens. Whether it's a lack of housing or access to transportation, we are called to step in and help lighten their load. By doing so, we reflect Christ’s love and fulfill His call to serve others.
4. Proverbs 19:17 – Kindness to the Poor
"Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed."
When we serve those in need, God sees our efforts. Our generosity toward the poor honors God and demonstrates His care. Every act of kindness, big or small, is an opportunity to reflect God's heart for His people.
5. Isaiah 58:10 – Satisfying the Needs of the Afflicted
"If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness..."
Isaiah encourages us to pour ourselves out for the hungry and afflicted. By meeting the needs of those going through difficult times, we bring light to their darkness. At Port of Mission Outreach, we strive to be that light, offering both practical support and hope.
Closing Thoughts
At Port of Mission Outreach Ministries, we believe that every act of service is a chance to show God's love. These Bible verses remind us that mission work isn’t just about meeting physical needs—it’s about being the hands and feet of Jesus, offering hope and light to those in need.
