Make a Difference… Make This World a Better Place… Go!
This year we conducted our first Surgical and Dental outreach in General Santos city, Philippines, serving the poor and marginalized of their health needs, to be able to bring healing and relief to their burdensome physical conditions, and feel that glimmer of hope in their eyes and see that smile on their faces is inspiring and priceless.
The Origin and Foundation of Service
“The foundation of Christian life is service to God that is lived out in service to others. The focus of Christian ministry is love of God that is fleshed out in love for others. There is simply no way around this. Being a disciple means being a servant. Being what God regards as a great disciple means being what God regards as a great servant.” —Michael Ruffin
We should not look at serving as a duty but a desire because of what Christ has done for us. It is through love, not through duty, that we serve one another.
Building a Legacy of Service to Humanity: A Path to Lasting Impact
When we think of leaving a legacy, many envision wealth, monuments, or prestigious titles. Yet, some of the most profound and enduring legacies come not from what we accumulate but from what we give. Service to humanity transcends material accomplishments, leaving a legacy that positively influences lives long after we are gone. A life dedicated to the service of others creates ripples that shape communities, societies, and even future generations.
