Action Today - Providing care and support to those in need
We have received a mandate from God to develop the “ACTION TODAY” Project, whose directive are the words spoken by Jesus. We urgently need to intervene for those in high-risk situations, for those who society has forgotten or for whom society has closed its eyes.
“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.
Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'”

We express our gratitude to all those who have supported our mission, including the local marketplaces and supermarkets in Setubal, private organizations, and individuals who have donated food, clothes, and provided financial assistance both in Portugal and England.
Without your help, we could not have accomplished all that we have so far. In addition to our work here in Portugal, we have also sent containers filled with clothes, dried food, bicycles, and other essentials to Angola with the assistance of other Christian organizations in the UK and the Angolan Embassy.
As our efforts continue, we are working closely with a school in a challenging area, providing teaching and support to students facing racism. We collaborate with local government to shift mindsets and improve the community environment. Our commitment is to serve communities and nations in need of help.
