What you do for the least of my brothers …

Ministry
It is evident that, we, as followers of Christ must carry out this ministry, and reach deeper into the commonly overlooked issues most would rather avoid, helping those who so desperately need our help.

How?
In attempting to piece together just how to fulfill the Gospel’s instruction, we come across what is possibly the most excellent solution for Breaking the Cycle of Poverty in America. Derived from the works of mercy as mentioned earlier, there are six basic human rights that every human being, as a child of God, must possess.

These rights:
The Right of Provision
The Right of Safety
The Right of Education
The Right of Opportunity
The Right of Health
The Right of Happiness

Every individual, as a child of God, must also fulfill the responsibility entitled with this privilege of rights, that of aiding those who may lack, for whatever reason, that for which Christ intended them.

‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these, you did it to me.’
Matthew 25:40
