Brother Larry Bollinger stated that “The Church of the Nazarene has its origins in the context of passion for the poor through compassion”. Dr. Carlos Sáenz, stressed that one of the most important objectives of the ministry is to make every Nazarene have “Compassion as a lifestyle”, “If we all give a glass of water in the name of Christ, the impact will be greater where the need is found.” Brother Helmer Juárez commented about the importance of developing the Holistic Ministry within the Church, where the diversity of ministries brings us to serve together and see the church as a whole, united in fulfilling the call to take the message of love and hope in Christ Jesus.
