In its own words
1. Conducting outreach to distribute necessities of life to the poor and underprivileged and to demonstrate the love of God to them in practical ways. Establishing relationships through meeting needs then opens the door for instruction and education regarding the hope found in Jesus Christ being the central message of the Gospel. 2. Promoting domestic programs in marginalized communities to address the problems faced by youth in their environment.
