Rev. Father Afewerki Tessfa. We can define \u2018charity work as\ngenerous giving to those who have financial needs. People with\nminimum finances have difficulties meeting their basic, educational,\nand health needs. Many poor people also have disabilities or\nillnesses which make their circumstances even more difficult. The\nGood Samaritan Charity, through our office in Sweden, work with local\nmembers of targeted communities to aid and develop individuals and\ncommunities by meeting their financial needs so they can cover food,\nhealth, and education costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who we serve ? <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most\nof our aid focuses on members of the Eritrean orthodox Tewahdo church\nin Scandinavian or in other parts of the world especially in Africa. \nWe also serve<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>without\ndiscrimination, to those who are suffering and in need, to enable\nthem to continue to improve their own lives and communities and to\nhave means to live with dignity, respect, and hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>Why we serve ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We serve those in need because it is our duty as Christians, and by serving we become co-workers with God. It is possible to summarize the good Samaritan\u2019s work with the passage in Matthew chapter 25 beginning from verse 31 to the end of the chapter. In this passage, our Lord Jesus Christ clearly gives us the command to serve. He promises eternal life to those who feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and visit the sick. This kind of charity work fulfils our love for God by following His commandments and our love for our neighbors by helping them live better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut\nwhoever has this world\u2019s goods, and sees his brother in need, and\nshuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in Him?\u201d\n1 John 3:17<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our\nLord Jesus Christ is of course, our greatest example of a servant. As\nIsaiah prophesied, Christ was sent \u201d to preach good tidings to the\npoor, heal the broken-hearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, and\nopen the prison to those who are abound.\u201d  Isaiah 61:1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As\nHis faithful followers, we imitate Christ in our love and service to\nothers and make this a great mission of our lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Mission The Good Samaritan Charity is a non-profit organization and Its mission is to fight poverty through certain programs providing humanitarian assistance to help people in need.
