Whitneyville Missionary Group
Our Missionary Group began because of our wish to fill the needs of others. Congregational giving to this group is redirected to individuals needing assistance as well as organizations that align with the church’s principles.
The Bible provides numerous verses with instructions to help those in need. A few examples are:
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. – Philippians 2:4
Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. – Galatians 6:2
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. – Acts 20:35
But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? – 1 John 3:17
