David Livingstone Ministries is focused on living out the message of Jesus through both word and deeds...and inviting others to join us in doing the same. In James 2:14-17, the brother of Jesus writes....

"What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."

Following in the footsteps of William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, we have adopted the motto, "Soup, soap, and salvation." As you get in touch with the intense physical needs of the people of India, you'll soon find out that without the basic necessities of life, it is difficult to hear the message of God's love. As followers of Jesus, we believe that we are called to simultaneously share the Good News and embody the Good News.
