Ah, but we've had 2,000 years for the Christian church to grow and do what they were told to do for those such as these. What they are supposed to be doing for the widow and the orphan, the poor and needy, the sick and the afflicted, the outcast, the stranger. But the Christian churches have failed them, intead the church filled it chauffeurs, erected ornate buildings that house no one, gathered treasures for themselves here on this earth. Yes, I know, there are those who are doing exactly as they were told to, but too few to make the difference in this world.
Instead they look to governments and institutions to do the work they were tasked with in the gospel. As they enjoy their tax exempt status anyway. And me, what am I doing? I'm praying, teaching, seeking lost sheep, reproving, encouraging and sending those whom God brings to me on their way to the Lord Jesus after ministering to them in some way. They're not following me. I don't have a congregation, I've received no money for my ministry, what's freely been given to me I freely give.
