This document outlines principles for Christian ministry and social action based on Scripture. It discusses three main principles: 1) Christians are called to sacrificial service as Christ served us, 2) loving neighbors includes meeting physical and spiritual needs, and 3) God's plan involves restoring all of creation and bringing wholeness in every dimension of life.
