Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many
While we know we are saved by faith (Eph2:8-9) if we truly are to walk like Jesus and live like a King, then we need to serve others. Serving is also the best way not only to understand your own calling and giftings in the Spirit, but to network with other like minded warriors. Learning who we are and how to function as part of a body is one of the key missions at Sheep-2-shepherds.
This page will highlight the current missions we serve in as well as other ministries we partner with . As we continue to grow and serve as a ministry, we will continue to update this page to offer as many chances to serve as possible.
If you are a ministry in need of help, please contact us and we'll be happy to add you to our list. If you serve at a mission that needs more help, let us know. If you have it in your heart to start a mission, we'll be happy to help as well. Our goal is to continue to network service and growth opportunities as widely as we can reach to help warriors grow in confidence and courage while serving our Lord.
Our serving spaces in some ministries may be limited so please contact us in advance if you wish to plug into any of our regular service opportunities.

Matthew 9:37
The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest
Matthew 25:35-40
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me
