Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How.

THE WHO: Jessi Tello, Mondo Scott, Salena Wiessner & the many who have felt the conviction to help in any way, shape or form.
THE WHAT: Reply Charis is simple. It is nothing more than the mere response on behalf of the undeserved divine grace and mercy bestowed upon us, from God, through his son Jesus. We simply respond to these divine mercies with good works towards others. The word “charis” (khar'-ece) comes from the Greek word “grace”. Grace is simply defined as undeserved merit. Technically defined, grace is the merciful kindness by which God, exerting his holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues. These virtues compile of good deeds seen throughout scriptures. It is the blood of Christ by which we stand. It is a gift, by which we accept through faith alone, not by any good works or doing of ourselves (Ephesians 2:8-9). As one reflects on these mercies it becomes overwhelmingly obvious that there is no reason to be complacent in life when it comes to those in need. So in response to God's kind mercy, let us do all that we can to love others as ourselves. For more info Click here
THE WHERE:
Wherever.
THE WHEN
Whenever.
THE WHY:
As believers, we have an obligation to those less fortunate. In Matthew 25:35-40, Jesus said: ”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.” Then the righteous will answer him, “Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?” The King will reply, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” (see the passage in context)
This verse along with many more has become a great conviction for us to take action.
THE HOW:
Through simple observations of the day-to-day world we live in. It doesn’t take much to see that there are people all around you in need. How many times have you passed by a homeless person or lied when someone asked you for spare change? We’ve all been there in some way. However, we cannot end there. We must go forward. Through everyday people like you and me, we can make a difference!
