For actress and author Candace Cameron Bure, best known for her role on Full House, her Christian faith isn’t just something she talks about—it’s the foundation of her lifelong commitment to serving others. The 49-year-old star recently shared how her calling from God has guided her toward meaningful charitable work, most recently through her involvement with Free Wheelchair Mission.

Bure told Fox News Digital that her faith is the driving force behind her choices: “You know, the Bible tells us to help the least of these, to help the widows and the orphans. I mean, that’s a calling for every one of us. And so, of course, my faith guides me in my choices that I make.”

She went on to say that giving back is more than just an obligation—it’s a joy. “I couldn’t live out my Christian calling without helping those in need. Truly, when you’re involved in it, you end up becoming the receiver because it feels so good to give and participate in helping change someone’s life… to let them know they are loved, cared for, and worthy of being loved by people and especially by God.”

Last year, Bure hosted Free Wheelchair Mission’s Miracle of Mobility event and was so moved by the stories she heard that she decided to personally join the group on a four-day trip to the Dominican Republic. There, she and the team distributed 11 wheelchairs to people living without access to mobility.

“Going into more remote places where people don’t have running water or power, you realize how unimaginable it is to also live without mobility,” she explained. “To think of someone having to crawl on the ground or live in isolation because they can’t move themselves—it was really eye-opening. It changes who you are.”

For Bure, the experience wasn’t about what she could give, but what she received in return: “It’s the biggest gift that I could personally receive, and it’s not about me. You’re there to give, and yet I feel like I’m walking away with even more.”

Free Wheelchair Mission CEO Nuka Hart, who traveled alongside Bure, described the profound difference a single wheelchair can make: “One wheelchair can change the lives of an entire family and their communities. A child who once had to be carried can now attend school. A parent who couldn’t provide for their family can do meaningful work. It brings freedom, dignity, and joy not only to the individual but to those around them.”

Yet the need remains great. According to the organization, 80 million people around the world still lack access to a wheelchair.

Candace Cameron Bure has never been shy about her Christian faith, often sharing how God has carried her through life’s most difficult times. She recently reflected on how the Lord has shown up in both expected and surprising ways: “Sometimes it’s the way I want Him to show up, and sometimes it’s the way I was hoping He wouldn’t show up, but He did. What I’ve learned is that He’s always there, literally always there.”

She said prayer has been her refuge in moments of fear: “In the scariest moments, when I’m like, ‘God, I need you with me. Bring me through this.’ And sometimes you want the win at the end—but even when the outcome isn’t what you hoped for, He brings you through.”

For Candace Cameron Bure, charity work is more than philanthropy—it’s worship. Her service reflects Christ’s words in Matthew 25:40: “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
