2. "Clothe the Naked" Unconditionally! Life saving Clothing!

Clothe the Naked, means without exception, looking beyond any fault to see their great need instead.
3. "Shelter the Homeless" Unconditionally! 1,400+ Homeless Sheltered! Condemnation and apathy toward the homeless brings Shame in any Sanctuary where Christians worship on Sunday, then let their poor and needy freeze to death.

5. "Make Disciples" is a volunteer choice of obedience based on a Profession of Faith that is conditional...Christian Disciples have a covenant, a contract with God to perform, written performance expectations, giving up personal agendas! Jesus Christ commanded we make disciples, which requires training and discipline, first by our own actions, then by speaking and teaching the truth in love.
