1.    How come there are categories to sell items or services?  Isn’t everything free?

While www.SeekorServe.com emphasizes FREE giveaways, it is also a platform for

basic classifieds where people can post ads to sell items &/or services.  And although

there is nothing wrong with “selling” items or services, we are currently trying to change

the trend from “typical ads that sell for profit” to “free giveaway ads where people give

because they are compelled by the unsurpassed love of Jesus Christ.”  That said,

www.SeekorServe.com is split up into three basic categories: "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS"

categories, and "Regular Classifieds.The prayer is that Christians will rise to the occasion

& take advantage of this amazing opportunity to use the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" sections

in an unprecedented, unparalleled effort to prove to everyone that they are known for

LOVE above all; & show the world that Christ’s followers are truly GIVING people.

2.    This sounds too good to be true.  What’s the catch?  There’s got to be a catch! 

      How can you really get around the need for funding, staffing, planning, etc.?

*NOTE: This Q&A is regarding the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" Categories

There is no catch and there are no strings attached.  Everything given is absolutely free. 

No “credits” or “trades” or “things to do” (like signing up for something or subscribing to

this thing or that thing).  It really IS that good because www.SeekorServe.com depends

on the greatness, goodness, and unsurpassed power of the love of Jesus Christ, as

He compels people to act in sincere kindness and goodness toward one another. 

And how do you get around funding, staffing, planning, etc.?  Let’s look at a couple

examples... Say Jane (from your church) needs a computer, so she goes to

www.SeekorServe.com  to post that need.  Then Bill (also from your church) sees her

post when he browses the site.  It happens he actually can give her a computer.  So Bill

contacts Jane through the site & makes arrangements so he can give her the computer. 

TA-DA!  Need met!  Or let’s say Kelly (from your church) posts that she is giving away

free painting and gardening services.  Then John (also from your church) browses

www.SeekorServe.com and sees that Kelly is able to help him fix up some paint-jobs

and gardening at his house.  So he gets in touch with Kelly through the site and the two

of them make arrangements to get the painting and gardening done.  Again...need met! 

Or what if your church (or other organization) needs to raise funds for a building project,

so one of your representatives posts on www.SeekorServe.com that you are in need of

financial support.  Then people browse the site, see this post, & contact you to contribute

funds for your church (or other organization) project.  And just like that...AGAIN, TA-DA! 

Need met!  Just stop and think about this for a moment.  Did you have to use funds

to create or use this site?  No.  Did you have to get church staff to organize or plan or

coordinate meetings between people?  No.  Did you have to recruit workers to dispatch

items or provide services?  No.  Did you have to provide storage/meeting/building space? 

No.  Did you have to host events?  No.  Did you have to make time commitments or

schedule meetings?  No.  Did you have to do ANYTHING other than encourage people

to take advantage of www.SeekorServe.com so they can connect with each other

and meet needs?  No!  Do you see how absolutely totally simple and powerful this is?? 

It’s THE PEOPLE themselves - NOT just church staff or church workers or volunteers -

it’s THE PEOPLE (even the “selfish” and “lazy” ones!) who do the funding, staffing,

planning, organizing, scheduling, recruiting, hosting, etc.  People are already there with

their own time, talents, and other UNTAPPED RESOURCES....and they’re right there

sitting in your church & in your meetings, getting together for worship & Bible studies,

having fellowship, going on retreats, and so forth.  They only need the opportunity to be

FULLY EMPOWERED to share the love of Jesus Christ.  They only need the chance

to CONNECT DIRECTLY with one another, ON THEIR OWN.  And your church, by

using www.SeekorServe.com as a FREE resource, will be a “point of connection”

where all people experience Christian love in a truly sincere, real, and tangible way. 

Best of all, the kingdom of JESUS CHRIST - not just “a church” - will grow.  J

 

*IMPORTANT NOTE: When using www.SeekorServe.com, people are always urged to

include their church affiliation so anybody using the site can be aware of which church

they represent...this is an easy but powerful & FREE way to advertise your church! 

The more people use the site and post needs & giveaways that are affiliated with

your church, the more your church will get noticed by people EVERYWHERE...  J

3.    Isn’t this just like FreeCycle, Listia, PointsOfLight, Goodwill, or CraigsList?

*NOTE: This Q&A is regarding the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" Categories

No, for many reasons.  First of all, unlike other “free giveaway” or volunteer sites,

www.SeekorServe.com is emphatically centered around Jesus Christ, and the

goodness, greatness, and boundless love that can come only from Him.  Other sites

like freecycle.org, listia.com, pointsoflight.org, or Goodwill are centered on people’s inner

“goodness” (help people) &/or love for the environment (recycle stuff) plus a need to just

“get rid of stuff you don’t want anymore” or simply “trade” items.  Secondly, with sites like

listia.com, you need to “earn” credits to get anything “for free”...so there’s a catch and

nothing is really TRULY “free.”  Thirdly, with sites like freecycle.org, there is a more

complex process involving moderators, signing up to be part of certain groups, etc. and

so the procedure is actually very involved and not user friendly at all.  George Bush Sr.’s

pointsoflight.org also has even more red-tape you must go through, since a great portion

of connections made there are through government organizations such as police or fire

departments, schools, hospitals, etc.  But www.SeekorServe.com on the other hand is

VERY simple, VERY easy, and VERY user friendly...it’s as easy as using Craigslist.org

with no “red tape” & no extra “process” or “middle-man” or “organization” to go through -

you get in touch DIRECTLY with the people you help &/or the people who help you!

Also, unlike other sites, www.SeekorServe.com focuses on BOTH items and services. 

Sites like freecycle.org or listia.com and even Goodwill are focused mainly on items,

while places like pointsoflight.org are based mainly on giving services instead of items. 

And if you’re thinking about the “free” section on Craigslist, just realize that it’s limited

to merely items (no services).  Plus, much of what is listed as “free” is nothing more than

animals or pets people want to get rid of, and/or other “get-rid-of” items (and even dirt!). 

It is important to address people’s needs in EVERY aspect, whether it be tangible or

intangible, whether it be a product, item, or an actual service requiring time to perform. 

In this sense, www.SeekorServe.com is much more broad and universal in its ability to

address virtually EVERY need that you can think of (yard-work, computers, cell phones,

tutoring, transportation, job search, counseling, prayer, rent, food, clothes, medical aid,

funding/financial aid, construction, laptops, moving, painting, furniture, cars/houses, etc.) www.SeekorServe.com is all-encompassing (both items AND services with regard to

both needs AND giveaways), user-friendly, really TRULY 100% FREE, & best of all....

the main focal point is Jesus Christ. 

BACK TO QUESTIONS


 

4.    Can this all REALLY happen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year?

*NOTE: This Q&A is regarding the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" Categories

Yes!  People post and browse on www.SeekorServe.com, contacting one another to

meet needs at ANY time of ANY day of ANY week, including holidays!  Because this

utilizes the technological power of the internet, traditional time limits like scheduling,

hours of operation, time constraints, deadlines, etc. are now a thing of the past. 

Anybody anywhere (as long as they have internet access) can post or browse for needs

& giveaways at 2 pm or 2 am...even on holidays, & yes, even on Christmas.  And people

can contact others - & also meet needs - at any time of the day or night they choose. 

If someone wants to make themselves available for people to call at 3 am on Christmas

if they’re in need of someone to talk & pray with, who are we to stop them?  J

 

Say GOODBYE to scheduling, operational hours, time constraints, “closed on holidays,”

deadlines, and other time limitations!  With www.SeekorServe.com, you REALLY

TRULY can and will meet needs 24 hrs. a day, EVERY DAY of EVERY YEAR!

5.    How can this grow my church?  And EXPONENTIALLY??

*NOTE: This Q&A is regarding the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" Categories

(*Sidenote: Make sure you also read the answer to FAQ #7!)

 

The real question you should be asking is, “How can it NOT?”  When you create an

atmosphere of true love, the love of Jesus Christ, where people actually help one another

FREELY through genuine acts of kindness 24/7, people will want to come check you out. 

Inviting someone to church couldn’t be easier!  Even the most “selfish” person will want to

connect with you just to see what they can get for FREE.  They’ll probably think to themselves,

“Wait, there’s no catch?  I don’t have to even listen to a sermon or read my Bible?  You’ll

ACTUALLY help me FOR FREE?  Hmmm... maybe these Christians really DO practice

what they preach...”  At that point, continue to give to them freely, praying that The Holy Spirit

would work on the person’s heart through the free giveaways they receive.  If they won’t

come to your church, GO OUT TO THEM to meet their needs...people usually will not

let you in to their home just to talk about Jesus and how they need salvation, but they will

let you in if you are responding to a request for assistance.  In so doing, you can’t help but

develop genuine connections with people as you offer free aid.  You will be able to use

these connections to allow people to easily and quickly BUILD RELATIONSHIPS. 

Such organic connections will NATURALLY lead to building and expanding your church

(you won’t even have to try!).  When “Christian love” is experienced in a tangible, concrete,

simple, ongoing fashion, the possibilities for church growth are ENDLESS! J

And as for EXPONENTIAL growth, www.SeekorServe.com frees up EVERYONE (not just

the pastor & church staff, but EVERYONE) to minister and serve (in addition to receiving). 

This exponentially increases the ability of a church to reach out & grow, since

everyone in your church - EVERYONE - becomes BOTH a minister (give for free) and a

parishioner (receive for free) at the same time...24/7, 365/yr, REAL-TIME, non-stop!

 

*IMPORTANT NOTE: When using www.SeekorServe.com, people are always urged to

include their church affiliation so anybody using the site can be aware of which church

they represent...this is an easy but powerful & FREE way to advertise your church! 

The more people use the site and post needs & giveaways that are affiliated with

your church, the more your church will get noticed by people EVERYWHERE...  J

 

BACK TO QUESTIONS



6.    I am not convinced this can help grow my church...what if it doesn’t grow?

*NOTE: This Q&A is regarding the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" Categories

Ok, let’s assume for the sake of argument that you get this started in your church, where

people are posting their needs and giveaways, and they’re actually connecting with each

other to meet needs.  In all this, you notice that your church membership hasn’t grown.  

What this means is that the ONLY thing you accomplish is an increase in ministry to

people within your church, WITHOUT added funding, staffing, planning, or recruiting. 

You ONLY get people in your church to reach out to each other.  You ONLY further

develop an atmosphere where people help one another freely and build relationships. 

You ONLY free up the people within your church to all pitch in and help share the load of

ministry, so the church leadership is greatly relieved and yet able to accomplish more. 

You ONLY increase overall ministry effectiveness and help build stronger relationships.  

THAT is what can happen in a “worst case scenario” where your church “doesn’t grow.” 

And you accomplish all of that with no extra funding, staffing, planning, or recruiting. 

 

Bottom line: You LOSE NOTHING and GAIN A LOT.

BACK TO QUESTIONS


 

7.    Wouldn't it be better to just create a site specifically for our Church or ministry?

*NOTE: This Q&A is regarding the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" Categories

NO.  For two big reasons...

 

First (and this is perhaps the most obvious reason), making your own site specifically

for your Church & ministries will COST YOU: time, money, staffing, or any combination

of them (or even other unforeseen costs).  Creating your own site requires you to INVEST.

But by using SeekOrServe.com you eliminate the need for any sort of cost in terms of

manpower, funding, scheduling issues, time constraints, and on and on and on and on... 

This site is 100% FREE & all set up for IMMEDIATE implementation.

 

The second big reason why it's NOT better to create a site just for your Church or ministry

is a bit more subtle but easily the real game-changer.  Just think about this for a minute. 

If the site people use is specific to your organization, then there would be no urgent reason

for them to enter a Church or ministry affiliation because the site is already connected

to a "base" location.  But by having a neutral and international site that has no ties

to any group, it becomes more important for listings to include a Church or ministry

affiliation so that people can have a better idea of where needs are to be met.  In order

for you to maximize your exposure and further promote your Church and ministries

worldwide, this little but important detail is VITAL.  Here's how and why....

 

What we're doing is more than simply obeying the command to love one another.

We are striving to actually advertise, market, and fully promote your Church &

ministries on a global scale as much as we possibly can.  To that end, creating a

scenario where people CONSTANTLY enter your Church and ministry contact

details on listings on the worldwide web, which are over time "indexed" & utilized by

search engines like Google, is a necessity...(keep reading)....

 

Over time, as you encourage more people to love one another and get their own

needs met through www.SeekOrServe.com, the simple act of entering your

Church and ministry contact details repeatedly on the internet will have a

tremendous positive impact on increasing global awareness of your Church

& ministries....

 

Search engine giants like Google, Yahoo, & MSN/BIng are always on the lookout

for names and addresses that pop up repeatedly on the internet, and they track

what people are doing online 24/7 (whether it be by computer/laptop or mobile device). 

As these search engines "see" your Church and ministry names appear more frequently,

and by an ever-growing number of different people, they will begin to give higher priority

to listing your Church and ministries on internet and even mobile searches that occur

every second of every day of every year...

 

Using www.SeekOrServe.com to its fullest potential will help create a "buzz" where

people are always "talking" about your Church & ministries.  And this is all done in a way

where people do NOT feel like they're advertising your Church.  All they're doing is

obeying Jesus Christ's command to love one another.  It just so happens that they're

going about it in a way where they become a massive FREE marketing & promotional

force that works around the clock for your Church & ministries... 

 

Entering information on the internet that lists a specific organization again and again 24/7,

to be eventually indexed and listed by search engines globally, is widely considered

"marketing gold"  for any individual or group that is serious about promotion and growth.

SeekOrServe.com achieves this for you in a way that costs you NO MONEY AT ALL

and takes only one (1) minute each month from people whom you get involved.

 

 

Bottom line: You pay NOTHING.  You invest NOTHING.  But you get a 24/7

ever-growing advertising, marketing, and promotional force that works to

grow your Church & ministries around the clock, on a GLOBAL scale!

8.    How can this help me do outreach & spread the gospel of Jesus Christ?

*NOTE: This Q&A is regarding the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" Categories

By simply (and freely) meeting clearly stated needs (items &/or services) as posted on www.SeekorServe.com.  Just browse needs & post giveaways on the site, & serve!

 

Also, most people won’t let you into their house to talk to them about Jesus.  However, if

you show up at their house in response to their request for assistance in a house project,

they’re sure to let you in.  By building genuine relationships with people through meeting

needs, Christ’s love is experienced & people are more receptive to hearing the Gospel. 

BACK TO QUESTIONS


 

9.    How come I only see posts from my Church/ministry/area?

*NOTE: This Q&A is regarding the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" Categories

The site is designed to encourage people to first and foremost meet each other's needs

within their local Church/ministry/area.  If you are not seeing posts in your area, or if you

are only seeing the needs &/or giveaways from your local Church, ministry, or location,

then that may mean there are not yet enough active SeekOrServe.com users in your area.

This means you need to generate more posts on a consistent basis (which advertises

your Church & ministries more!) that are affiliated with your own geographic region

before being allowed to view other posts outside of your immediate congregation. 

This setup ensures you get maximum advertising, marketing, & promotion for your

Church & ministries, while also upholding the biblical mandate of loving one another FIRST

within the body of Christ, BEFORE going out to "love them out there" (John 13:34-35 &

Galatians 6:10).  Additionally, we want to protect you and your congregation from

burning yourselves out, so we must do everything we can to meet your needs first,

fully preparing you to love everyone else outside your Church walls.

BACK TO QUESTIONS


 

10.  How can this get church (or other group, business, or organization) needs met?

 *NOTE: This Q&A is regarding the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" Categories

An authorized representative of your church (or other group or organization) would

simply post on www.SeekorServe.com that your church (or other group or organization)

is in need, whether it be help with Sunday School teaching, contributions to food drives,

church staffing, ministry help, furniture, computers, clothing, funding for a building project,

tools, volunteers, office supplies, etc.  Additionally, make sure you constantly browse the

posted giveaways on www.SeekorServe.com to see if anybody is offering items or

services that fit the need(s) of your church (or other group or organization).

BACK TO QUESTIONS



11.  Can a group (i.e. youth group, church, or other organization) post giveaways?

 *NOTE: This Q&A is regarding the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" Categories

Absolutely!  This is NOT only for individuals.  An authorized representative of your group

(youth group, church, business, or other organization or corporation) would simply post

on www.SeekorServe.com the items and/or services your group is able/willing to give. 

Additionally, you would constantly browse the posted needs on www.SeekorServe.com

to see if anybody is in need of items or services that your group or organization

might be able to provide.

BACK TO QUESTIONS


 

12.  How can this be used to minister to people in the Church congregation & beyond?

 *NOTE: This Q&A is regarding the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" Categories

People in the congregation (& beyond) simply post their needs and giveaways on www.SeekorServe.com to let others within the church (and thus the church itself) -

plus everybody else browsing the site - know what they need & what they can give. 

This very simple process allows anybody and everybody browsing the website (not just

a church “ministry” or “board” - in fact, ANYONE who uses the site) to be able to see

stated needs and meet them...AND also see posted giveaways that meet their own needs. 

Also, people can just browse the site to check posted giveaways and see if any items or

services are listed that fit their need(s), plus check posted needs for people to help. 

Posting and browsing, posting and browsing, you get the idea...it really IS that simple! 

 

What www.SeekorServe.com does is simply free up EVERYONE to minister and

EVERYONE to serve (in addition to receiving), so the job and responsibility of

“ministering” is more effectively distributed through the whole church (not just the pastor

and church staff).  This exponentially increases the ability of a church to minister to

its congregation and surrounding communities, since everyone - EVERYONE - becomes

both a minister (give for free) & a parishioner (receive for free) at the same time... and

better yet, this all happens 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in REAL-TIME, non-stop!

BACK TO QUESTIONS


 

13.  What if someone abuses the site (i.e. spam, inappropriate posts, etc.)?

Report the inappropriate action(s) &/or abusive behavior(s) by clicking on the "Report Ad" link

found in the ad details (a red flag icon in the "Tools" section underneath "Ad Description"). 

BACK TO QUESTIONS



14.  What if I don’t “need” something but just “want” something?

 *NOTE: This Q&A is regarding the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" Categories

 

That’s actually ok.  You’d just have to be honest about it and explain in your post or

correspondence that it’s more of a desire than a need, and it will be up to the person(s)

offering the giveaway(s) to decide whether or not to give you what you are seeking.

BACK TO QUESTIONS



15.  How does someone determine who gets what?

 *NOTE: This Q&A is regarding the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" Categories

Since everything is free, whatever is given (whether it be items or services) is done so at

the discretion of the giver.  Each person (or organization) gives as he/she/they desires to

just as long as they do so without any compensation - everything is FREE.

BACK TO QUESTIONS



16.  What happens if a posted item or service is no longer available?

Then it is simply not available for anyone to receive.  It is the responsibility of each

person (or organization, through a representative) to monitor their posts.  Once a posted

item/service is no longer available, the poster has the responsibility to update their post

by either deleting it or altering the post’s message/details to indicate its changed status.

BACK TO QUESTIONS



17.  How do I protect my personal information (home address, phone number, etc.)?

You can contact other people directly through www.SeekorServe.com contact forms

without ever having to give out ANY personal information; and to protect your private

email address, just use a separate free email account (i.e. gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc.).

BACK TO QUESTIONS



18.  Can I just browse the site to check out needs and giveaways?

 *NOTE: This Q&A is regarding the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" Categories

Absolutely!  That’s what www.SeekorServe.com is there for....so people can browse it

day in and day out and always be aware of what others are giving away &/or in need of,

and then respond to one another accordingly.  J

BACK TO QUESTIONS


 

19.  How do I get in touch with someone to get or give something?

 *NOTE: This Q&A is regarding the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" Categories

You connect directly with them through www.SeekorServe.com contact forms and/or

their contact information found within their post(s) on the website.  Also, you can simply

post your item(s) &/or service(s) on www.SeekorServe.com so people can contact you.

20.  Is there a limit to how many needs or giveaways I can post?

 *NOTE: This Q&A is regarding the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" Categories

No.  Post as many giveaways and as many needs as you wish!  J

21.  Is there a limit to how long a post stays up?

 

No.  Although SeekOrServe reserves the right to delete posts which it deems no longer active,

or perhaps otherwise inappropriate.

 

BACK TO QUESTIONS


 

22.  Do I need to be part of some local group?  Are there any memberships,

      subscriptions, or pre-requisites before I can use www.SeekorServe.com?

No.  Just get a FREE account on www.SeekorServe.com (pretty much the same way

as you would on Craigslist).  It’ll only take about a minute (maybe two)!  J

BACK TO QUESTIONS



23.  Are there any fees, credits, or things I have to do in order to receive anything?

 *NOTE: This Q&A is regarding the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" Categories

No.  “Free” really means FREE!  J  Just take a minute or two to get a FREE account on www.SeekorServe.com the same way as on Craigslist, and you’re good to go!

BACK TO QUESTIONS



24.  How do I keep myself safe when meeting with a stranger?

We always recommend that when you meet with someone for the first time, you do it in a

public place such as a coffee shop or the mall or even a church office.  You can then get

to know someone better before giving them your personal contact info.

BACK TO QUESTIONS



25.  Do I need to meet people face-to-face?

That depends on the nature of the item(s) or service(s).  For example, if you are meeting

the need of someone who asked for a prayer partner, you can probably just do this over

the phone without ever having to physically meet.  If someone is in need of help with

painting one of the rooms in their house, chances are you’ll have to meet face-to-face.  

Or if you are just shipping items (i.e. laptop, toys, clothes, etc.), there is no need to meet. 

If you are providing or receiving transportation services, you’ll probably have to meet.  

It’s up to the two parties (giver/receiver; buyer/seller) to arrange things in order to

acquire the posted item(s) &/or service(s).

BACK TO QUESTIONS



26.  How do money donations work?

 *NOTE: This Q&A is regarding the "GIVEAWAYS" & "NEEDS" Categories

             a.  If someone posts that they are in need of money (or willing/able to give money),

                  the giver has the responsibility to perform due diligence before giving financial

                  aid to any potential recipient(s).  Arrangements are to be made strictly between

                  the giver and receiver.  We recommend NOT dealing directly in cash, but  

                  instead, with checks, money orders, or credit cards (so everything is traceable). 

 

             b.  Although monetary donations to www.SeekorServe.com are NOT accepted,

                  please support our sponsors to help keep the site running...CLICK HERE.

27.  Is this for U.S. residents only?

No.  www.SeekorServe.com can be used by anyone, any group, & any organization

anywhere in the world as long as you have internet access.

28.  Am I limited to connecting with people only within a certain area (i.e. city, state,

      country, region, 50 mile radius from my church, etc.)?

 

No.  You can connect with anybody anywhere in the world.  It would be up to you and

29.  Do I have to be a Christian, or part of a Church or other charitable organization?

No.  While everyone is encouraged to connect with a church for Christian/spiritual growth,

you do NOT have to be a Christian or part of a Church (or any other charitable or

non-charitable organization) to use this site.  Jesus Christ just happens to be the

primary reason www.SeekorServe.com was created, since He really is the ultimate

source of the greatest love of all (John 3:16 and 1 Cor. 15:1-4ff).  You do NOT have to

listen to a sermon, attend a Bible study, or sing worship songs, either.  J

      Everyone (givers and receivers; buyers and sellers) is solely responsible & accountable

      for their use of www.SeekorServe.com.  All users of www.SeekorServe.com have the

      responsibility to always perform proper due diligence and conduct research with sound

31.  Is www.SeekorServe.com directly affiliated with any specific church,

      denomination, or other organization?

No.  To ensure that the focus is always Jesus Christ and His love, the site has been kept

anonymously independent from any church, denomination, or other organization. 

www.Seekorserve.com was created simply to follow the command of Jesus Christ as

stated in The Word of God: that those who would profess to follow Him love one another,

and that by doing so, show the world that they are truly followers of Jesus Christ. 

www.SeekorServe.com is nothing other than a “tool” meant to be used by everyone -

especially Christians & their churches - to follow Jesus’ command and love each other. 

The hope and prayer is that enough Christians will rise to the occasion and take advantage

of this opportunity to prove to the world that Christians are truly known for LOVE above all. 

Christians everywhere are called upon to unite in an unprecedented, unequaled, unmatched,

uncontested demonstration of the TRUE LOVE that comes only from Jesus Christ. 

Specific biblical references are John 13:34-35 & John 15:17.
