The great commission is a calling to which Friend in Need responds by actively serving the community through a range of activities. We believe it is all about reaching the unreached and ministering to them through an attitude of servant hood. Our projects span over gender and cultural boundaries and addresses physical, emotional and spiritual needs that are prevalent in society, but more in particular our local community. Our calling is to serve, honor, disciple and love God’s people well, as stewards and ambassadors of His Kingdom and all that is found in His Presence and Kingdom. We look beyond what the eye can see, through the eyes of our Beloved, Yeshua (Jesus) and His unfailing, never-ending love for His precious people and see the potential hidden in each one waiting to be discovered, nurtured and revealed.
