"It is very difficult to tell a person that Jesus is the bread of life when they are starving. However, once you feed them natural food, then you can share the spiritual bread of life with them. By the same token, it is not enough to just feed a person one meal. Our objective is to enhance a person's life by equipping them to provide for themselves. If a person wants to learn to read, we tutor him. If he needs a job, we assist in job placement. We believe that if you give someone a fish, he eats for one day, but if you teach him how to fish, he eats every day. Our goal is not to give a handout, but to give a hand."                                                                                                                 Shirley Caesar [The Lady, The Melody & The Word]
