Pastor Frank Vega, founder and executive director of Inner City Missions, states that Matthew 25:35-40 clarifies his purpose and vision. The following is a portion of that passage: “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me” (Mat
thew 25: 35-36 NIV). He believes that we together can carry the light. We can shine the life changing truth of the Gospel. Inner City Missions serves Philadelphia’s low income neighborhoods. It provides inner city families the stability, training, and opportunity to obey Jesus Christ’s great commission. Jesus Christ’s mandate is given in Matthew 28:18-20: “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” God wants all Christians to fulfill this commandment.
