Take the Matthew 25 Challenge

Join us April 8-13 as we step out of our comfort zones and live out Jesus’ call to love those in need.

The Matthew 25 Challenge is a week-long challenge that will help you and your family step out of your comfort zones and engage in God’s love for “the least of these brothers and sisters” who Jesus calls us to care for in Matthew 25:35-40. Each day, you will receive text messages with the day’s challenge and the story of a child living in poverty, all with the purpose of understanding the daily sufferings of our brothers and sisters around the world experiencing poverty.

text FRCOCM25 to 56170 to participate with us.

are blessed by my Father;take your inheritance,

one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine,
you did for me.’
