1 Timothy 3:8-12Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. Their wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things. Deacons & Deaconesses are servants that assist the Pastor in the spiritual and administrative affairs of the Church. They are to help free the Pastor from tasks not requiring special training, thus permitting pastoral time for graver responsibilities.

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.
