We cannot live alone. We cannot go to heaven alone. Otherwise God will say to us, 'Where are the others?' Otherwise, we are scattered members of the Body of Christ, we are not 'all members of one another'. If we try to do it alone, we lose the vision, we become merely philanthropists, doling out palliatives. We cannot lose this vision, this working 'for a new heaven and a new earth.' Otherwise our religion is an opiate, for ourselves alone, for our comfort or for our individual safety or indifferent custom.

Unto the least of these

DaySpring seeks to actively connect with the Waco community in ways that are helpful, meaningful, and compassionate.

One of the groups we work with is CrossTies Ecumenical Church. CrossTies offers several ministries to people living in the immediate area near its location on South 10th Street in Waco, including the Talitha Koum Child Nuture Center and the Gospel Cafe, which provides lunch to the community three days a week throughout the year. DaySpring participates monthly by preparing and serving meals in the Gospel Cafe, and we support the mission of CrossTies with our financial resources as well.

DaySpring also leads morning worship once a month at Ridgecrest, the retirement center next door to our church.

In addition to our regular involvement with these ministries, DaySpring frequently helps pay rent and utilities for folks in need.
