Then Jesus declared,
I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry,
and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
– John 6:35
Well-being is in line with the first 3 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as outlined by the United Nations. We believe that sustenance is key to a person’s well-being. As such, we partner organisations who are doing great work in meeting this need. We also believe in caring for practical needs, to enable people to lead lives with purpose and dignity.
Willing Hearts operates a soup kitchen that prepares, cooks and distributes about 6,000 daily meals to over 40 locations in Singapore, 365 days a year. Beneficiaries include the elderly, the disabled, low income families, children from single parent families or otherwise poverty stricken families, and migrant workers in Singapore.
Food from the Heart (FFTH) is a non-profit charity that feeds the hungry through its food distribution programme. FFTH started with 120 volunteers in 2003. As of 2017, they work with over 1,700 volunteers and reach 35,500 beneficiaries across Singapore.
The New Charis Mission (TNCM) provides a holistic rehabilitation programme for ex-drug offenders & ex-criminals to help them reintegrate into society. These programmes focuse on personal growth, character development, restoration of relationships with family members and work therapy to help residents break their bondage to drugs and return to society as responsible, useful citizens.
TNCM is also committed to implement a positive youth development plan to help youths-at-risk reach their full potential. The plan sees youths as assets and resources rather than liabilities and problems.
Yellow Ribbon champions Hope, Forgiveness, Acceptance and Second Chances for ex-offenders in Singapore. Without second chances, a released offender will leave the first physical prison and find himself entering into a second social prison.
When successfully reintegrated into society, they can pay it forward and actively give back too – as individuals, or collectively as a community.
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
