Scripture is rife with pictures of Jesus’ deep compassion and His heart for serving others. He healed the sick, fed the hungry and brought comfort to the brokenhearted, all while teaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom. Through His words and actions, Jesus made it clear that a life of service reflects the heart of God. 

“The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.” Matthew 20:28

We are grateful to support Christ-centered organizations throughout Chicagoland who model this same Christlike heart. Our local partners work tirelessly to serve others—relieving suffering, lifting women and children, transforming communities, developing leaders, and multiplying churches and disciples.

“Feed the hungry and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.” Isaiah 58:10
