When we serve God’s people, we are not just performing an act of kindness toward men, but we are offering service directly to God Himself. Jesus made this truth clear when He said, “Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me” (Matthew 25:40). Every plate of food given, every prayer shared, and every act of compassion poured out on the poor is an offering to the Lord. Serving people is a holy calling, and through it, God is glorified.
Our brother Mathiew has shown himself to be a faithful servant in this holy work. He serves with diligence, passion, and knowledge, understanding that this ministry is not just about feeding hungry stomachs, but about reaching souls with the gospel of Christ. The Bible says, “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men” (Colossians 3:23). Mathiew works in this spirit—tirelessly and wholeheartedly—knowing that his labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Many times, serving requires getting dirty, walking into hard places, and humbling oneself for the sake of others. But as Mathiew has embraced this, he understands that being dirty for men is being dirty for God. Just as Jesus stooped down to wash His disciples’ feet (John 13:14-15), Mathiew stoops down to meet the needs of the poor and brokenhearted. His service reflects the very humility of Christ, who came “not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).
This is why Mathiew is fit for the work of JFM. His life and service reflect the calling of a true servant of Christ. The Apostle Paul said, “Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:2). Faithfulness is written all over Mathiew’s work. By serving with love, humility, and commitment, he shows that the heart of God beats within him. Through JFM, he is a living vessel of God’s compassion, bringing both bread for the body and the Bread of Life for the soul.
