More than fifty percent of the World’s population (6 billion +) survive each day on $2.50 or less. As you do the math, unfathomable is no less encompassing your thoughts. Abject poverty is rarely an American view until we encounter homelessness and even then, humanitarian relief may be imminent.

Our Friday nights is a “date night” for our church. We venture unto downtown Atlanta to offer our Lord’s hospitality (food, clothing, etc.).

Happy Friday!
