This summer hungry people have received food, prisoners have received visits, children have received tutoring, immigrants have learned English, a homeless shelter has received new mattresses, a new free medical clinic has opened, and much more.  Awards from the Matthew 25 Grant have assisted 53 different ministries related to American Baptist churches as they serve as the hands and feet of Christ in their neighborhoods and beyond.

The Matthew 25 Grant, sponsored by ABCUSA, is funded by a generous donor whose goal is to help meet the needs of “housing, feeding, education and health with regard to the less fortunate.”  Awards are made twice a year, in April and October, with application deadlines of March 1 and September 1.  To view the guidelines and download the application form, click here.
