Get Involved…
Do something for the people Jesus called the “least of these.” In the urban core of Kansas City there are widows, single moms, and disabled residents who are looking for hope. Their homes are in disrepair, but the Matthew 25 Project and you, can make a lasting difference in their lives. Your youth group will join a diverse cross section of students from across the country, as we converge in the “City of Fountains,” to share Christ’s living water by improving our resident’s homes.

The Mission…
The mission of the Matthew 25 Project is to provide a spiritually transforming experience for students and adults as they improve substandard housing for residents in Kansas City’s urban core. Participants will be mobilized and encouraged to serve with the heart, attitude and hands of Christ. (Matt. 25:40)
