A calling your community already knows
We are called to take care of one another
The parable of the Good Samaritan asks a question that has echoed through centuries of faith: When your neighbor is suffering, will you be the one who stops to help?
Right now, there are over 90,000 people in the United States waiting for a kidney transplant. Many of them are sitting in congregations just like yours — quietly carrying a burden too heavy to share, hoping someone will step forward.
The donors in our program describe their decision the way the Good Samaritan might have described his — not as a sacrifice, but as an answer to a call they couldn't ignore.
You are uniquely positioned to extend that invitation in a way no hospital or nonprofit ever could. You already have the infrastructure — weekly gatherings, trusted relationships, and a culture of care that makes people feel safe saying yes to something meaningful. Most importantly, you have trust. When a faith leader says someone needs our help, people listen.
Start with the trailer below — we think you'll feel the connection immediately.
