MISSIONS
The love the people of TMOF have for our fellow man is motivated by the love our Heavenly Father has shown for us.
TMOF offers spiritual help and comfort through which many people have given their lives to the Lord. Material help such as food and clothes is provided for AIDS-affected families and those families with children TMOF cares for.
In executing this mission, we are embracing the scripture in Psalms 68:5-6:
"A father to the fatherless,
and a judge for the widows is God in his holy habitation.
God makes a home for the lonely.
He leads out the prisoners into prosperity."
AIDS affects the entire social fabric of a community. The hard fact that this pandemic lacks a cure leaves the infected and affected people in a situation of hopelessness and emptiness.
This physical emptiness can easily translate into spiritual need, ultimately bringing into account the question of the institution of belief, where people begin to question the use of their God to them.
And because spiritual satisfaction is part and parcel of the entity of humanity, as we offer or provide humanitarian assistance, we ought to offer it alongside spiritual assistance.
For as it's written in James 1: 27,
'pure and undefiled religion before God the Father
is that which cares for the widows and orphans in their distresses'.
As Christians, we can only put claim to the fact that we are true believers, only when we exhibit unqualified compassion to those in need.
This is actually the source of inspiration to our staff, who are all volunteering without any form of pecuniary motivation. Mathew 25:35 puts it more vividly:
'For I was hungry and you gave me food;
I was thirsty and you gave me to drink;
I was a stranger and you took me in; I was naked and you clothed me;
I was sick and you visited me...'
We do sensitization to the communities and that is the opportunity we have to introduce them to the path of Christ Jesus. The people are more than glad to receive the word. It gives them a new hope to live for.
