The Matthew Challenge is a biblically based challenge that acknowledges Matthew 25:45 -  "whatever you did not do for the least of these" we also did not do for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This annual challenge is coordinated by the Joy in the Desert Chapter of the Order of the Daughters of the King (DoK), and has focused on helping Afghan refugees fleeing Kabul (2021), Baby Kits (2022), and backpacks for  asylum seekers (2023 & 2024).


For more information about the Matthew Challenge, please email the DoK chapter at ccaazdok@gmail.com or info@ccaaz.org.
