Mission: Ncm's mission answers jesus christ's call to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and receive the stranger, and the prophet's call to do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with god. Then the righteous will answer him, lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you? And the king will answer them, truly i tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me. -matthew 25:37-40
