Beyond the Walls Missions Ministry
"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'"
Matthew 25:34-36
Wellspring understands the power to reach out with compassion and mercy to people in need. It is a profound blessing to both the giver and receiver. As a church Wellspring tithes to a special outreach fund which allows the congregation to participate in various outreach projects here in McKinney, North Texas, across the country, and around the world.
