In the Parable to the Good Samaritan, Jesus concludes the parable with this phrase: “Go and Do Likewise.”

What then is the role of “acts of mercy” or providing for physical needs, in regard to the Great Commission we’ve received from Jesus: to go into the world and preach the Gospel to all people?

Amy DiMarcangelo is an author, a mom, and a seminarian who cares deeply about engaging in the mission of God in a holistic way. She and her husband have adopted a child, and they are involved in caring for refugees in their community.

Amy's recent book is called, Go and Do Likewise: A Call to Follow Jesus in a Life of Mercy and Mission.

In this episode, Amy and I talk about the “social gospel” and evangelism, and about developing a holistic approach to meeting people’s physical and spiritual needs.

We also share our stories of working with refugees, including how my father in law, who was a refugee from Hungary, came to faith in Jesus.
