Alicia, Hands Leader, reflects on the role of the International Church and the Local Church working together to care for the most vulnerable:
“The call for us as the church is to care for ‘widows and orphans in their distress.’ Whether we were born in Canada or Nigeria, the mandate is the same. The beautiful thing about being a part of Hands at Work is we get to live out this calling hand-in-hand. Disciples of Jesus, both inside and outside Africa, get to witness God moving in our communities. We, His beloved church, get to partner together to bring the good news, to do miracles and be witness to the radical transformation of people's lives that only comes through being seen and loved by the Living God. And all we had to do was to say ‘yes’ to His call.”
