    (Matthew 9:35-38; 28:18-20; John 4:35-38; Acts 1:8)
  2. To demonstrate Christ’s compassionate heart to those in need.
    (Deuteronomy 15:7-11; Isaiah 58:5-11; 61:1-2; Matthew 25:31-46)
  3. To retrieve the spiritually lost.
    (Matthew 18:10-14)
  4. To encourage personal evangelism through relationship.
    (1 Corinthians 9:19-23)
  5. To mobilize our resources so that all can hear and understand the gospel (good news) in their own language.
    (Romans 10: 13-15)
