Operating expenses

Give the will, take power!

Sing to the Lord a new song!

“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you took me in, naked and you clothed me… Verily I say to you, in as much as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.” (Matthew 25:35-36, 40)
