ServLife July Newsletter: Pt. 3, The Untouchable Pastor

ServLife International is a movement defined by values of God’s kingdom, not programs built around human efforts and activities. The reign and rule of God should be made apparent to every person on the planet, despite their religion, race or socioeconomic status. We believe that issues of justice are inseparable from the good news that Jesus Christ came to proclaim.

This happens through individual contributions of time, creativity, resources and dreams.
