Our Biblical Mission
Called to love our neighbors, serve the vulnerable, and share the hope of Jesus Christ
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."
— Matthew 25:35-36
Gospel Go Bags exists because we believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ compels us to action. Our mission is rooted in Scripture's clear call to care for "the least of these" while sharing the transforming message of God's love and redemption.
We recognize that true compassion addresses both physical and spiritual needs. Just as Jesus fed the hungry and healed the sick while proclaiming the Kingdom of God, we seek to provide practical help alongside the eternal hope found only in the Gospel.
Our Biblical Foundation
Love Your Neighbor
"Love your neighbor as yourself."
— Mark 12:31
Jesus commands us to love others with the same care we show ourselves, meeting needs with compassion and dignity.
Share the Gospel
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation."
— Mark 16:15
We are called to share the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ with everyone we encounter.
Serve the Vulnerable
"Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed."
— Psalm 82:3
God's heart is for the marginalized, and He calls His people to advocate for and serve those in need.
God's Heart for the Homeless
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
— James 1:27
"If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."
— 1 John 3:17-18
"Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done."
— Proverbs 19:17
Living Out Our Mission
Gospel Go Bags is our practical response to God's call. Here's how we put Scripture into action:
Sharing the Gospel
Every bag includes a Bible and resources to help individuals understand God's love for them and how to begin a relationship with Jesus Christ—the ultimate source of hope and transformation.
Meeting Physical Needs
Each bag contains food, clothing, hygiene items, and other essentials—tangible expressions of Christ's love that address immediate needs with dignity and respect.
Connecting to Resources
Through physical resource lists in each bag, we connect individuals to local shelters, food banks, employment services, and mental health support—helping them find pathways out of homelessness.
Building Community
We mobilize volunteers to personally distribute bags, creating opportunities for genuine human connection and demonstrating that every person has inherent worth and dignity.
