PASTOR SANTOS ESTANISLAO CARPIO, IGLESIA TABERNACULO BIBLICO, SAN JOSE EL ESPINO
In general, we in the evangelical church have attended to the spiritual needs of people--everything that involves a person’s spiritual problems. But there are few of us who attend to physical needs likefood, housing, and clothing. I believe that we, as the church, should enter into a new stage where we work to attend to the needs of people in accordance with the resources we have because God’s covenant with us is integrated. God wants us to be well spiritually and to be well physically. The mission of the church is to satisfy all the needs of people, to look for ways that bring us closer to completing the work that God delegated to the church. Jesus didn’t preach the word of God to empty stomachs; he was willing to feed the hungry.
