About Apostle Elijah

Once homeless on the streets, now a vessel of God’s love and transformation. Apostle Elijah’s journey from desperation to divine calling demonstrates that God can change anyone.

“Without being kind to one another we can’t please God. If we are to serve the Lord, we have to start with our own deeds, how we treat each other — that speaks volumes to God.”

Matthew 25:35-40

“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.”

“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

This passage highlights that acts of help and compassion towards others are seen as acts of service to Jesus himself, promising a great reward for those who care for the vulnerable.
