“for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.”
This scripture is at the heart of the Matthew 25 Project. Jesus’ words here give a clear protocol for what we are to do for those in need. It is the belief of Right Side Up Ministries that we have a God-given obligation to assist in the recovery of those who are in distress, no matter what the cause. We endeavor to fulfill this call to action through The Matthew 25 Project.
The Matthew 25 Project is a benevolence fund designed to help those in need. It is also to assist those affected by disasters around the world. The idea is to give financial help to those who are struggling due to unexpected events and to help those affected by disasters during the crucial early stages of recovery.
What will this fund do?
- Purchase emergency supplies and equipment, such as, gas, generators, tarps, and more
- Purchase food, clothing, temporary shelter, or supplies
- Pay important bills, like mortgage, utilities, or insurance
- Help with insurance deductibles, so repairs can happen quickly
- Pay for repairs where insurance is not available
- Help with medical bills, and other healthcare costs
This fund will be made available to those who are in need, especially those affected by disasters which Right Side Up Ministries Disaster Response Teams are present in the recovery process. There is an expedient application process where RSUM will gather information about the situations, needs, and the best way to help to ensure the proper use of the available funds.It is the belief of Right Side Up Ministries that through this fund many will come to know the love of Jesus firsthand.
