When Did You Clothe and Feed Jesus?

Please pray for Chip, Ben and Christine Haley, our team members from Quito and another missionary. They are leaving Quito to help bring needed supplies to an area that has been hit by disaster. Your prayers are much needed for their safety and for the success of the mission. 1600 people are waiting for bedding, milk, rice and cook pots. They are also taking along 1000 copies of the Gospel of John. Pray also for Pastor Herman and his congregation as they minister to the people. They are using funds that are given through the International Mission Board's Hunger and Disaster Relief Offering.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’

37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? 39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’

40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,[f] you were doing it to me!’ NLT Matthew 25:34-40
