I had heard that southern california has a really high degree of poverty and I am sure that the homeless in the context of touristy upper class urban setting is just the tip. Like Chicago, you can't really get a sense of what is going on until you get out into the neighborhoods. Great to see God at work awakening us all. Let's pray we can bring 1000 more with each of us -- from isolation, into Kingdom views.Joel Hamernickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01400640434055859385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7934722593145519386.post-22325513224484531332008-04-08T23:40:00.000-06:002008-04-08T23:40:00.000-06:00That top picture is crazy.

It seems that what popular culture tells us (not to hand out money to the poor) has really begun to shape what we as Christians think we're supposed to do as well.<BR/><BR/>As you presented to us 2 weeks ago, Jesus' words are ringing loudly. Give. To whomever asks.<BR/><BR/>I hope you're getting a good time to recharge.<BR/><BR/>Kyle LantzKLantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15204789995016780648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7934722593145519386.post-30319430514332538222008-04-08T22:06:00.000-06:002008-04-08T22:06:00.000-06:00Hey joel!I was just in San Diego a couple of weeks...Hey joel!<BR/>I was just in San Diego a couple of weeks ago too, visiting my aunt and uncle that live there! I was hit by the poverty in the city as well. It seemed more prevalent than what I was seeing in Chicago, maybe that's because it was 50*<BR/>warmer there and people werent trying to find a place to hibernate :) I also was up in LA for a few days and saw a few different sides of that city too. Midwest or West Coast, hearts are still at stake! Keep reaching the kingdom, I'm praying for you!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00530224418655142515noreply@blogger.com
