The Good Samaritan Network

Being a Good Samaritan

If you decide that you can fulfill a need, you must be able to follow through on your commitment.  Also, please do not volunteer to help someone if you do not possess the requisite skills to do a proper job.  For example, if you have never done a break job, please don't sign up to experiment with someone in need. (We are not trying to question your integrity or abilities, we just need to be clear)

Categories of Need

• Auto Repairs
  Small Jobs
  These are small maintenance jobs, like brake jobs, alternators, routine maintenance, etc.  We do not expect you to overhaul an engine!
• Home Repairs
  Small Item repairs
  These would be things like fixing an unsafe step, or helping to install a safety item.  We do not expect you to build a Habitat for humanity or replace an entire roof!
• Transportation
  Giving an occasional ride
  This would be offering to take an elderly or infirmed person to the doctor, or church or store, etc. 
• Visitation
  Taking time to lend an ear
  Many elderly and shut ins have no one to talk to.  If you can spare an hour or two to visit and talk, you would be showing God's love in a very real way.

For the Least of my brothers

"But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. "And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left. "Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 'For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.' "Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You drink? 'And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 'And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' "And the King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.' "Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.' "Then they themselves also will answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?' "Then He will answer them, saying, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.' "And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." (NAS, Matthew 25:31-46)
