"And the King [Jesus] will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'" (Matthew 25:40)
"For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another." (Galatians 5:13)
Scott and Carolyn Scharpen began The Scharpen Foundation out of a desire to serve the Lord through service to others.
The mission of the Foundation is to promote the principles of Christianity through a combination of training, education, mentorship, consulting, encouragement and prayer.
The Foundation has a three-fold approach to fulfill its mission:
- Help existing Christian organizations to be more effective in their operations so they can better serve their member community
- Provide resources and sponsor independent Christian events (e.g., seminars, Bible studies, conferences) to help individuals in their walk with the Lord
- Help to empower Christians to go out and share the Gospel message of Jesus Christ while helping their local community
